Abstract

This IDC report covers selected projects from Asia/Pacific countries that incorporate the use of technology for transportation infrastructure. There is a growing demand for effective transportation options for both people and commodities as a direct result of the expansion and increased population of urban areas. To meet the climate change goals, governments are rushing to make transportation more environmentally friendly. Nevertheless, the infrastructures for transportation would need to be resilient and comfortable. Increasing the reliability of the country's transportation network in the face of natural disasters is a top priority for many governments. Digitization and widespread use of technology are important ways to reach this goal.

"Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) enable governments to predict climate disasters, manage assets, and lead response measures. With new technologies, transportation can be more citizen-centric. The improvement of transportation's compatibility with other aspects of societal life will be a primary goal of future technological development," says Jezamin Abdul Razak, head of government, Insight, IDC ASEAN.
