The latest developments in AI are catalyzing major changes in the mobility sector. Self-driving vehicles, traffic flow optimizations, and real-time monitoring are generating a lot of excitement – and for good reason. That said, what’s often missing in the conversation is the role of data in these innovations. If AI is a driving force behind transformation in the mobility and transportation sector, then data is the fuel.
Organizations that want to lead their industry with truly cutting-edge solutions will need to ensure their data is accurate, up-to-date, and diverse. Moreover, data should be used ethically and managed responsibly to stay compliant with current and future regulations. Here are some essential strategies we use to guide our partners through successful AI initiatives in transportation and mobility.
Modernize for scalability and flexibility
Modern cloud solutions enable organizations to manage the vast amounts of data required for most AI projects. Multi-cloud, hybrid, and scalable environments support seamless integration and collaboration across different systems. Scalable APIs, microservices, and event-driven systems significantly enhance agility and responsiveness. We implement these solutions to help our partners adjust to changing market demands and effectively manage costs.
That said, modernizing monolith legacy platforms and business-critical systems is a complex undertaking. When we first partnered with a global leader in transport solutions more than a decade ago, all their digital customer portals were consolidated on one large application. It was an expensive, on-premise legacy system with limited scalability. So we helped them dismantle it and unite the individual applications to create one comprehensive digital platform. This flexible solution enhances customer access, simplifies system management, and helps control operational costs.
A good cloud partner can balance an organization’s needs with on-premise solutions for offline support and cloud-agnostic systems that avoid vendor lock-in. Overall, flexibility is vital for maintaining business continuity and scalability. Not only do our solutions deliver a premium digital experience, they advance efforts to create a more sustainable transport system worldwide.
Establish robust data governance and ethical standards
Good governance is integral to high-quality data, strong security, and regulatory compliance. We help our partners implement comprehensive frameworks that include policies and procedures for data collection, storage, processing, and sharing. Establishing best practices at the onset of a project helps protect the organization and stakeholders. Transparency in data use and security is a critical step in building user trust.
Data quality also plays a key role in AI solutions that are ethical and responsible. Algorithms should be trained on accurate, comprehensive, and representative datasets. Poor data quality can introduce biases, leading to unfair or incorrect outcomes that disproportionately affect certain groups. Minimizing biases and promoting fairness in AI systems also contributes to building trust. Always bear in mind that artificial intelligence is no substitute for the human touch. Keep a constant feedback loop and be ready to adjust models as needed.
Put users at the heart of development
User-centric development is about aligning with people’s needs and preferences. This leads to intuitive and accessible AI applications that provide tangible benefits and effectively solve real-world problems. You can expect higher adoption rates and user satisfaction.
This strategy was crucial in our collaboration with Sintio that delivered a groundbreaking EV charging management solution. As we discovered more about the wide range of the platform’s end-users, we integrated our learnings and feedback into the development cycle. We constantly fine-tuned the application to better meet the users’ needs and deliver a seamless, engaging experience. As a result, the platform introduced features tailored to the unique needs of their market, enabling Sintio to outpace competitors.
Another example is our work with a global vehicle leasing and fleet management company. We help them offer more flexible and sustainable transportation options by prioritizing UX design, customization, and process automation. Levi Niners provides both front and back-end services, developing new digital products and integrating them with other company products, services, or domains. By removing unneeded parts and enhancing the UI, we have streamlined operations across the company’s digital products. The platforms are now aligned with current market trends and adapted to country-specific requirements. Each iteration of this project focused on delivering an excellent user experience across every touchpoint of our partner’s digital services.
Foster collaboration and data sharing
We’re already seeing that government and private companies are inspiring and pushing each other to accelerate green-initiatives and achieve sustainability goals. This is an exciting opportunity to increase data collaboration. Ultimately, comprehensive datasets are the bedrock of value-adding AI solutions.
Future Insight’s Clearly Hub is a great example of excellence in data collaboration and integration. We helped develop this groundbreaking Open Urban platform by harnessing the power of advanced AI in a secure, scalable and flexible digital ecosystem. Data aggregation expertise was a must-have in this project. Our team overcame the challenges of integrating various data sources, ensuring security, and adhering to open standards.
As a result, this Smart Cities solution empowers governments, organizations and even citizens to create applications to improve accessibility, sustainability, health and inclusivity in urban environments. Built with AWS and Azure infrastructure, it’s a cost-effective and flexible SaaS solution that can be adapted according to end-user specifications and local data regulations.
