Transportation agencies must balance safety, efficiency, and legal responsibility when designing and operating roadways. Flexible design principles and engineering judgement play a crucial role in meeting these obligations. These principles can also be an effective legal defense in tort lawsuits. This webinar will explore the legal implications of using flexibility in engineering decision-making.

Artificial intelligence can optimize traffic management, improve predictive maintenance, and streamline enterprise operations. This webinar will explore AI’s benefits while also addressing significant risks such as cyber threats, ethical concerns, and unintended consequences. A key focus will be the challenge of AI-driven decision-making with fewer humans in the loop, which can lead to undetected errors, system failures, and safety risks.

Extending the service life of concrete bridge decks can reduce maintenance costs and improve infrastructure resilience. This webinar will explore innovative practices being implemented across the U.S. to enhance bridge deck durability and serviceability.
