Expected long term effects
A continuation within the framework of proposal to "US collaborations in AI, digital infrastructure and cybersecurity" - where all parties invest both time and equity for version 2 - a full-scale demonstrator in the US. Demonstrator Version 2 - creates the conditions for other traffic agencies and cities in the US to invest in Swedish technology. Many see the benefits - but want to see in reality, and 32 states with winter weather and cities there is a great future for Swedish tech.
Approach and implementation
Preparations included pilot selection and system integration. The goal was increased traffic safety and better winter operation. Implementation of a demonstrator for digitalized winter operation and testing of AI-based solutions. External factors that have affected the project include the US´s changed view of customs handling, which has created delays. All participating participants have delivered on their work packages and the collaboration has worked excellently.
