In their winning solution, Michigan addressed mobility and congestion challenges presented by the 2026 NFL Draft in downtown Pittsburgh, where existing multimodal assets are underutilized and information is fragmented for travelers.
Their solution integrated a digital twin model for real-time system monitoring and forecasting, dynamic multimodal resource management for agencies, and an AI-powered traveler guidance and reservation app for visitors.
This coordinated approach is designed to spread demand, respond to crowd surges, and give travelers personalized, up-to-date routing and parking recommendations.

The three finalist teams competed at the ITE Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL, on Monday, August 11. The teams, from University of Utah, University of Michigan, and South Carolina State University, had 15 minutes to present their solutions to real-world transportation challenges. The teams then faced questions from a panel of judges from the ITS and TSMO industry, who ultimately chose University of Michigan as the winners of another very close contest.
The finalists were flown to Orlando to compete after being chosen from among the 11 teams who joined the tournament back in March of 2025. Ultimately, University of Michigan won the prize for not just the solution itself, but their ability to effectively communicate the solution to the audience. Their solutions, as well as the other teams competing, can be found at https://transportationops.org/transportation-technology-tournament.

AASHTO Survey Reviews Impact of AI on Operations
|
|
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials recently detailed the results of a national survey that examined how states view the potential uses of artificial intelligence or AI in the transportation operations sector.
Conducted by the AASHTO Committee on Transportation System Operations or CTSO, the survey incorporated responses from 50-plus AASHTO members across the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West and outlined both the potential benefits and challenges AI offers.

University of Denver Course: Harnessing AI in Transportation & Supply Chain Strategy
|
|
September 23-25, 2025 from 4PM - 7PM EST
Harnessing AI in Transportation and Supply Chain Strategy is a 9-hour executive seminar built for leaders who want to stay ahead of the AI curve - before it drives your operations off course. As AI decision systems quietly embed themselves into operations, logistics, procurement, pricing, planning, and customer touchpoints, organizations face a stark choice: manage the technology, or let it manage you. This seminar exposes the critical inflection points — or “decision nodes” — where AI can create invisible drift, misalign operations, or even reroute strategy without human oversight.
You’ll also explore high-leverage, practical uses of generative AI to streamline workflows, accelerate data synthesis, enhance visibility, and reduce manual load in everyday logistics and planning functions. From intelligent document parsing and rapid scenario modeling to AI-powered risk forecasting, you’ll leave with the tools, frameworks, and cautionary lessons to make AI your competitive advantage, not your hidden liability.
