Invention Reference Number

A new AI-powered decision support system improves how urban planners and logistics managers access and apply domain-specific knowledge. By enhancing data-driven and simulation-based decision-making, this technology helps overcome bottlenecks optimization for freight and urban systems.
Description
This invention integrates generative AI, specifically large language models, with a custom-built knowledge framework to support complex decision-making in urban and logistics systems. A unique mixture-of-experts approach allows domain-specific AI agents to synthesize insights from research literature and technical documents. These agents operate within a semantic infrastructure that incorporates ontologies and knowledge graphs to automate reasoning, optimization, and software development tasks. The system dynamically responds to real-time data and user queries, providing actionable insights and enabling more resilient and efficient urban logistics planning. It is designed for scalability, adaptability, and seamless integration into existing digital platforms.
