Application of Artificial Intelligence in Transport Construction: Engineering and Educational Aspects

Abstract

The article generalises the results of the authors’ research, both published and prepared for publication, referring to discussion on the current situation in terms of development of artificial intelligence perception and apprehension, and analyses a possibility of application of currently existing AI in design of transport infrastructure facilities and engineering education.General methodology and algorithm of application of artificial intelligence intended for design of transport infrastructure facilities are described considering synthesis of structures with pre-set behavioural parameters.Introduction of AI-related competences and skills into educational process intended for training future transport employees is shown in relationship with engineering tasks solved by the users followed by examples of problems solved by the students with the help of artificial intelligence technology.The possibilities of an interdisciplinary approach to training are shown to demonstrate how the students are taught to apprehend the need for a comprehensive consideration of design problems.Experimental learning has shown the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of AI by students when solving educational and practical problems.
