Transportation Systems

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory are working on optimization models that use machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, to simulate the electric system and the severity of various problems. In a region with 1,000 electric power assets, an outage of just three assets can produce nearly a billion scenarios of potential failure. Image by urbans/Shutterstock.com.
