• Joan Maria Bigas, Director of the Mobility, Transport, and Sustainability Area at theAMB
• Arnau Serra, Coordinator of the Catalonia.ai Strategy (Government of Catalonia)
11:15 h | Context of AI applied to mobility services
11.15 h | International Perspective: Global AI applications in mobility services
• Xavier Arrufat, Chairman of the AI Working Group at the UITP
Discover how Artificial Intelligence is transforming public transport worldwide. The UITP (International Association of Public Transport) will share key case studies and relevant innovations through the voice of the Chairman of its AI Working Group.
11:30 h | Local Perspective: AI and Metropolitan Mobility
• Ramon Pruneda, Technical Director ofAMB Informació i Serveis
AMB Informació i Serveis will present the strategy for deploying advanced data-driven solutions in both data analytics and artificial intelligence. Starting from the implementation of a comprehensive data platform for sustainable transport and mobility, they will showcase data management and governance, as well as how the potential for introducing AI-based tools—such as those presented today—is identified.
11.45h | Presentation of the AIDA Project: From Aerobús Demand Impact Analysis to future applications for the AMB bus network
The AIDA project is presented, focusing on demand prediction for the A1 and A2 lines of the Aerobús service. The project details the methodology followed, the main results of the Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), and the performance of the various prediction models used. Additionally, a mathematical model has been developed to optimize bus fleet management, aiming to improve the service’s operational efficiency based on forecasted demand.
• Guillem Alsina, Head of Metropolitan BUS Planning at the>AMB
• Vanessa Moreno, Researcher at the Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI) UnitEurecat
• Francisca Rosell,Researcher at the Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI) UnitEurecat
AIDA has scaled into AI4BUS, a collaborative project between AMB Informació i Serveis and Eurecat, which expands the use of these demand prediction and fleet optimization techniques to the entire AMB bus network.
• Javier Fernández, Data Scientist atAMB Informació i Serveis
• Julià Vicens, Head of Computational Social Sciences at>Eurecat
