Introducing: At the Intersection
Beacon launches podcast exploring the intersection of AI and transportation
Atlanta, GA, March 23, 2026 — Beacon is launching At the Intersection, a podcast exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we build, manage, and move people through transportation systems.
Hosted by Jim Anderson, the show brings together leaders from across transportation and technology to share how AI is actually being applied — beyond the hype — to solve complex, real-world challenges.
“We’re lucky — we get to talk to some of the smartest people in transportation and technology every day,” said Anderson. “Engineers running massive programs, DOT leaders making critical decisions, technologists rethinking how we build in a changing AI landscape. These conversations are too valuable to keep behind closed doors. So we're recording them!"
The first two episodes are live now:
- Episode 1: Why Design May Be Transportation’s Biggest AI Opportunity
Featuring John Hibbard, Deputy Chief Engineer at the Georgia Department of Transportation
- Episode 2: Predictive Maintenance, Lifecycle Thinking & AI in Public Infrastructure
Featuring Simon Davidoff, formerly of AECOM and Siemens

About Beacon
Beacon is the AI engine for faster, safer decisions in transportation. We turn scattered institutional knowledge — meeting notes, project estimates, 600-page SOPs, and decades of documents — into source-linked, real-time answers on one screen, cutting decision time across traffic operations, construction, and emergency response. Our modular apps deploy in as little as 90 days on a unified, secure AI platform that's location-aware, traceable, and built for government-grade complexity. Beacon is deployed with Georgia DOT and North Carolina DOT with active discussions spanning agencies nationwide. Founded by CEO Jim Anderson, a civil engineer turned software executive, Beacon combines deep domain expertise with modern AI to serve the agencies moving millions of people every day.
