Trustworthy Data- and ML-Ops for Intelligent Transportation Systems and Logistics

Abstract:The rapid evolution of Intelligent Transportation Systems and Logistics (ITS\&L) has become a cornerstone of the modern social economy, relying heavily on the integration of Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and, more specifically, Machine Learning (ML). This paper provides a comprehensive review of Trustworthy Data and Machine Learning Operations (DataOps and MLOps) in the ITS\&L domain, underscoring their importance in improving efficiency, reliability, and decision-making precision within transportation and logistics services. We begin by identifying gaps in current literature, offering clear context for our contribution. Subsequently, we explore the complexities of DataOps and MLOps, discussing their necessity, key components, available tools, practical insights, and case studies relevant to ITS\&L. Additionally, we address the critical issue of Trustworthiness in AI applications, examining methods and tools designed to strengthen confidence in AI systems - especially in real-world ITS\&L scenarios. The paper concludes with a discussion of persisting challenges and future prospects in this rapidly advancing field, aiming to serve as a vital resource for researchers, industry practitioners, and policy makers. Overall, this work not only establishes a foundational understanding of DataOps and MLOps in ITS\&L but also charts a path for further research and innovation in developing more efficient, sustainable, and trustworthy intelligent transportation and logistics systems.
