This paper introduces a framework to enhance the present enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems by integrating big data analytics and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI)-driven cybersecurity mechanisms. Nowadays, due to the diversity and high volume of data, the use of business intelligence and analytics solutions is paramount for ERP systems. This use results in the optimization of enterprise resource planning functions. AI can be used with cybersecurity mechanisms to predict and stop the behavior of a potential threat, thus leading to an optimal cybersecurity model. However, the biggest challenge is the integration of run-time cybersecurity solutions with the enterprise resources in the ERP systems. The proposed solutions incorporate advanced AI-driven cybersecurity techniques for intrusion detection, anomaly detection innovation, and prediction-based mechanisms to mitigate potential threats at the onset. In particular, the paper proposes a set of measures and guidelines for IT stakeholders and business executives on how to integrate technology innovation while maintaining the ERP systems to be modern, relevant, and adaptive in a competitive business environment. We believe that our work is beneficial for both researchers and practitioners to systematically understand the significance of integrating big data analytics with the existing ERP functions and the application of AI in the cybersecurity model for enterprises. Our results emphasize that the implementation of big data and AI-based solutions within the organization will support innovation, safeguard security mechanisms, and lead to a sustainable position in the digital market.

Real-time traffic congestion is a challenging problem in smartcities. An Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a big data application integrating sensor hardware and network technologies, which can intelligently capture traffic information, efficiently transform data into knowledge, and organize and manage transportation resources. Urban Traffic Control (UTC) is a critical component of ITS, analyzing real-time traffic information and coordinating traffic signal timing plans to optimize traffic network performance and improve vehicle travel speeds. However, traditional UTC based on centralized architecture would be challenged in data transmission, architecture malfunctions, system bottlenecks, etc. As a solution, the multi-Agent based RTC (ATC) with smart intersections is proposed. Additionally, more comprehensive traffic data can be captured with advanced detection techniques, and Regional Traffic Control (RTC) systems can be designed with advanced optimal control algorithms. Digital Banking (DB) Infrastructures powered with AI can be trained on historical data to simulate human understanding of patterns and trends when leveraging custom models tuned to understand banking transactions. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and automation into the digital banking infrastructure can result in a stable pipeline implementation of sorting transactions data for anomalies per the bank thresholds. Moreover, with the integration of AI systems, captured data can be analysed to study the traffic characteristics of the bank and determine how efficiently it is working. AI can also be used to examine this data, identify problematic data, perform risk prediction, timely tracking, and further determine whether it fits the standards of bank transactions. AI can warn of difficulties in bank transactions. When an unauthorised transaction is detected, that transaction can be prohibited in real-time. Furthermore, it can help to significantly increase banks' risk management levels, improved efficiency and a near-zero error output requirement of regular activity.
