Worksheet: The State of AI in Transit

Artificial Intelligence (AI) remains experimental, especially in the transit space, and there is a lot to learn from this technology as it continues to evolve. For transit systems that see opportunity in this technology, it is important to understand how it currently works and how it may influence operations. To help agencies understand how this tool can be applied to their work, N-CATT has developed this worksheet, which will explain AI and provide suggestions for how to make the most of this tool as it stands.

N-CATT develops worksheets to help transit operators think through important considerations for various technologies. The goal of each worksheet is to help you start organizing your thoughts around the topic to lead to more informed decision-making. While the considerations we prompt you with on the worksheet are a starting point, there are likely additional important details to consider that we couldn’t fit. No technology is one-size-fits-all, and so we encourage you to answer the questions as you see fit, add your own ideas, and improvise the worksheet to make it best suit your needs. This is just a starting point for a big project.

We encourage you to reach out with any questions about this worksheet, or any questions this worksheet prompts that you need additional information about. Also, please provide any feedback you have on how to make these better! You can reach us at helpdesk@n-catt.org.
