The role of artificial intelligence in the development of rail transport
Main Article Content
Abstract
Artificial intelligence plays a revolutionary role in modern transport systems. The article discusses the role of artificial intelligence in railway transport and its potential impact on the sector. This article presents different types of artificial intelligence technologies used in this sector, explores the advantages of artificial intelligence in this field, and discusses the challenges associated with using artificial intelligence in rail transport. Artificial Intelligence is revolutionary in rail transport systems by enhancing efficiency, safety, and overall performance. There are several ways in which AI influences rail transport and its impact on the cognitive load of human resources. These factors are examined in this article.
