This system uses artificial intelligence to help city planners and transportation companies choose the most effective truck routes by anticipating traffic patterns, including during extreme weather. It was developed collaboratively by the National Research Council Canada, the University of Calgary, the City of Calgary, and two major Canadian transportation companies. The system is used by planners rather than making autonomous decisions, and the public is not currently informed when AI is used in this planning process.
