Summary of RFI Responses—Opportunities and Challenges of AI in Transportation

Summary Report on ARPA-I RFI Responses

Read the summary of public responses to Request for Information (RFI) entitled “Potential Research and Development Areas of Interest for the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Infrastructure.”

America needs transportation technologies that decrease long term costs, increase system safety, enhance infrastructure resilience, and make America more globally competitive. Delivering that vision will require bold new investments in advanced and emerging materials, structures, components, systems, and capabilities – both physical and digital – that have the potential to radically transform our transportation infrastructure.

Adapting the successful innovation model pioneered by DARPA and ARPA-E, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is accelerating the future of America’s transportation systems by launching the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Infrastructure (ARPA-I). As a newly designated agency, ARPA-I will fund high-risk, high-reward next-generation transportation technologies that will maintain America’s position as a global leader in the sector.
