Toward Smart Highway Work Zones
July 20, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Hamed Tabkhivayghan and Omid Shoghli, researchers from UNC Charlotte, present their recent research on using the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance the safety of highway workers. They’ll discusses the challenges and opportunities to transitioning from the existing reactive safety systems to a true proactive safety system for highway work zones, providing innovative solutions for real-time vehicles trajectory analysis and path prediction, and AR-based User Interface design to provide on-the-spot notification to highway workers. They’ll also discuss some challenges to bringing real-time AI to highway work zones, from technology and data limitations to user acceptance and safety protocols.
