Abstract

The idea of artificial intelligence in any use is growing over the past years. When you think of artificial intelligence you tend to just think of your Alexa or your phone and how those are used. Have you ever thought of how it is used from an aviation and transportation perspective? You probably don’t think about this, given that it does not pique many people’s interests. Given recent articles populating both domestically and internationally, the idea of artificial intelligence in the transportation and aviation sector is emerging quicker than you would expect. This topic is unique and complex as aviation and transportation are both human-operator-heavy sectors. An example of the use of artificial intelligence in transportation is self-driving cars and in the aviation industry, you can think of the heads-up display unit (HUD). Within this paper, you can find an analysis of this emerging topic. Ranging from leading tables, research paper studies, and much more analysis. In the end, the reader will understand the emerging topic and general ideas of future work within the field.
