Welcome to Transport AI 2025

Following the very successful inaugural Transport AI 2024, we’re back on 5 February 2025 in Manchester. Transport AI 2025 will bring together public and private sector professionals to discuss the latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI) as they relate to transport and planning across the Government’s five missions – and its Artificial Intelligence Opportunities Action Plan.

Transport AI 2025 will cover AI innovation in these areas:

• Road (bus, DRT, cars, vans and HGVs, cycling, scooting, shared vehicles, CAVs, freight)

• Rail (train, metro, light trail, high speed rail, tram, freight)

• Air (drones, net zero flight, logistics)

• Place (pedestrians, high streets, urban realm, inclusivity, green and blue spaces)

Despite rapid progress in the technology sector, only a limited number of AI use cases have been thoroughly explored and implemented in the transport space – for example route optimisation, safety enhancements, asset management, customer service and operational efficiency.

Transport AI 2025 will show organisations how to unlock the potential of AI in clear steps:

Accessing quality data and creating trustworthy data frameworks
Overcoming barriers to AI adoption
Updating software, infrastructure and applications to meet current and future needs
Attracting AI project management and technical talent
Showcasing today's impactful and successful transport AI use cases

A large expo zone will offer plenty of time for demonstrating tools, products, services and use cases

Supported expo and speaking places for a limited number of start-ups and entrepreneurs

Event background

Increasing capacity, enhancing capability

AI-powered solutions have the potential to revolutionise the way we transport people and goods, to manage traffic flows and to plan and design successful places.

AI is no longer the future — it’s here now in our offices, living rooms, cars and pockets.

In some areas, such as automating data entry, data collection, data analysis / visualisation, route and flow optimisation, improving safety, asset management and supporting customer service, AI is established in professional toolkits. Other scenarios, such as AI-managed Connected and Autonomous vehicles commonly travelling driverless on public roads, remain some years away.

Yet rapid advances mean that tools and datasets once only available to the Googles and Metas of the world are widely available – and are being used to create and deliver products that transport professionals can benefit from today.

Practical AI use cases are already with us. And as the technology continues to expand its role in our lives, important policy decisions will be made as we learn to live and work with AI: Where is the necessary data coming from? How does AI best fit into our workloads and workflows? Do we have robust security and ethical frameworks in place?

Transport AI 2025 is a one-stop shop for transport and place professionals needing to know how AI can work for them — now.
