Management of Traffic Safety.
Accidents can be studied with the help of cutting-edge data.
Prognostication Crash Maps can be created using this
information to identify high-risk zones. Authorities can use
these maps to convey warnings to the public about the need
to exercise additional caution in certain areas and to assist in
the implementation of preventative measures.

Keeping track of how cars move, how fast they go, and how
they change lanes can give us a better idea of how
alternative road designs affect driving. Intelligent traffic
management and the identification of congestion in the road
layout during the planning of future infrastructure
developments can benefit from these insights.

When it comes to big data analytics, railways have a wide
range of options. Booking, enhancing security, automating
scheduling and planning, enhancing the network, and
managing tickets are some of the many applications. It is
possible to gain business advantages by utilizing the already-
existing data from the passenger operational control,
reservation system, CCTV, and repair depots. Eg. The Nation
Train Enquiry System (NTES)

Identify critical areas in systems and sub-

One of the key challenges is being able to identify critical and
fragile areas of infrastructure. Using data from different
document formats, tools can be used to automatically
categorize information based on sector-specific problems.
This enables us to predict critical domains and identify fragile
areas.

Long lines at security checkpoints are a major source of
frustration for flying travellers. Advanced analytics, on the other
hand, can provide airport staff with a clear picture of when
security checkpoints are busiest by gaining access to traveller
data. AI-enabled machine learning can produce prediction
models over time, which the airport can use to improve its
strategy and resource allocation.

One of the key issues airlines must resolve to thrive is how to
price flights and determine traveller demand for particular city
pairs. Demand analysis can now be done in more complex
ways thanks to data science. IATA advises that airlines can
leverage traveller behaviour data, search abandonment on
online travel agencies, metasearch sites, or social media buzz
to define leisure demand.

Vessel management.
Using data available in various logs, manifests, system
parameters, bunker statistics, etc. This will include efficient
bunkering, better vehicle maintenance using digital twins, crew
management, etc. One of the most important aspects of
planning and executing a successful voyage is the monitoring of
ships. The efficiency of ships will be improved by the use of
various instruments, such as sensors on ships, weather station
data, and satellite reports.

Analysis of spatial imagery using data from position tracking
systems such as AIS and LRIT, images from ships, coastal and
space radars, optical sensors, etc. This will include efficient
routing, fleet tracking, traffic pattern analysis, anomaly
detection, etc., soon.
