Baha University Selected for IBM Impact Accelerator to Develop AI Transport Solution
The university will develop the CH-MARL framework, an advanced artificial intelligence solution for coordinating transport and port fleets.
Baha University has been selected for the 2025 cohort of the IBM Impact Accelerator program to develop the CH-MARL framework, an advanced artificial intelligence solution designed for streamlining the coordination of transport and port fleets.
The initiative aims to enhance efficiency by reducing fleet downtime, fuel consumption, and carbon emissions across key logistical hubs, thereby aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 sustainability goals as reported by the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.According to Abdullah Al-Hussein, president of Baha University, participation in the IBM Impact Accelerator program positions the university favorably in terms of research standing.
It broadens opportunities for student researchers and amplifies its impact on the transport and logistics sector within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Leading the research team is Saad Al-Qithami, who emphasized that the CH-MARL project leverages artificial intelligence and cloud computing to revolutionize fleet management and logistical operations in support of the nation's sustainability agenda.
He further noted that the solution will facilitate smooth transitions between simulation phases and live operational activities.
This expected improvement should lead to a reduction in downtime and fuel consumption while simultaneously enhancing air quality in major logistical centers.
Ultimately, these advancements are expected to bolster Saudi Arabia’s commitment to Vision 2030 and global climate objectives.
