However\, the application of artificial intelligence /machine learning (AI/ML) can be fraught with analytic issues\, many of wh ich are shared with traditional data analytics (statistical/econometric me thods) that have long been the mainstay of safety research. This talk disc usses some of the fundamental analytic issues that need to be considered i n highway safety applications of AI/ML (including autonomous vehicles). In addition\, AI/ML is viewed as an opportunity to address safety-related is sues that have been historically overlooked and those that have yet to be fully imagined.\nPresenter: Dr. Fred Mannering is the Executive Director o f the Center for Urban Transportation Research and a Professor in the Depa rtment of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South F lorida. He was previously Head of Civil Engineering and later the Charles Pankow Professor of Civil Engineering at Purdue University\, Professor and Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washing ton\, and an Assistant Professor at the Pennsylvania State University. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Saskatchewan\, Ma sters degree from Purdue University\, and PhD from the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology. His body of work has been cited over 35\,000 times in Google Scholar\, over 15\,000 times in the Web-of-Science core collection database\, and over 19\,000 times in Scopus. Dr. Mannering has published o ver 160 refereed journal articles\, two widely adopted textbooks\, over si xty other publications (conference proceedings\, project reports\, book re views and commentaries)\, and has given over 150 invited lectures\, keynot e speeches\, and presentations at professional conferences.\nHe is the Fou nding Editor and currently the Editor-in-Chief of Elsevier Science’s Ana lytic Methods in Accident Research (Web of Science 2022 Journal Impact Fac tor = 12.9 \, ranked 1st among transportation journals) and was previously Editor-in-Chief of Elsevier Science’s Transportation Research Part B: M ethodological.
