Abstract

This chapter examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize the development of intelligent and inclusive transportation solutions that improve accessibility for impaired people. The chapter begins by exploring the difficulties that these various groups of disabled people face when using public transit. It then highlights AI-based technologies that are redesigning transportation, from natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) to Internet of Things (IoT) enabled real-time monitoring and computer vision (CV). It then discusses the exceptional needs of several disabilities that are met by AI applications, such as communication assistance, adaptive urban design, smart navigation, and autonomous vehicles. The chapter finally explains the associated challenges for the implementation of such advanced technologies including regulatory, ethical, and technical concerns, while presenting insights into policy recommendations and future trends for creating inclusive, AI-powered transportation networks in smart cities.
