Artificial intelligence is set to play a central role in transforming Britain’s road and rail network, with continued government investment in digital technology expected to improve reliability, reduce delays and support economic growth.
Speaking at the Transport AI Summit in Parliament on Tuesday, Ruth Cadbury MP, chair of the Transport Select Committee, said AI and data-led technologies would be critical to tackling long-standing issues such as potholes, congestion and train delays. The event, organised by Chamber UK, brought together MPs, transport operators and technology firms to discuss how automation and analytics could modernise national infrastructure.
Cadbury praised the government’s commitment to working with specialist technology providers to improve road maintenance and rail performance, arguing that faster and more reliable connectivity is essential for job creation and regional growth.
“Britain’s transport network underpins economic activity across the country,” she told delegates. “Using AI and digital tools more effectively can help us maintain roads better, run trains more reliably and ensure the network supports growth in the years ahead.”
