Applying artificial intelligence to dangerous goods and cargo operations, with safety and accuracy at the centre.
Artificial intelligence offers significant opportunities to improve operational efficiency, process information and support decision-making throughout the transport industry.
However, introducing AI into regulated environments requires careful consideration of accuracy, reliability and the consequences of incorrect information.
NCB Hazcheck combines practical AI development experience with specialist dangerous goods and cargo safety expertise to help organisations evaluate and implement AI responsibly.
How we can help
Our capabilities can support:
- AI opportunity assessments Identifying practical applications of AI within existing operational processes.
- AI solution development Exploring intelligent document processing, knowledge retrieval, classification support and workflow automation.
- Model evaluation and benchmarking Assessing AI systems against relevant regulatory information and expert-reviewed scenarios.
- Accuracy and reliability testing Identifying limitations, inconsistencies and areas where human review remains necessary.
- Regulatory knowledge integration Connecting AI applications with structured dangerous goods information and deterministic compliance checks.
- AI governance and oversight Helping organisations establish appropriate controls, evaluation procedures and human decision-making arrangements.
Built on real research and experience
NCB Hazcheck has developed AI and machine learning capabilities for cargo screening and dangerous goods document processing.
Our DGEval research examines the performance of large language models against the IMDG Code, demonstrating the importance of evaluating AI systems before relying on them for complex regulatory tasks.
This work provides a foundation for assisting organisations developing or evaluating their own AI applications.
Combining AI with trusted regulatory systems
We believe AI is most effective when used alongside authoritative regulatory information, established business rules and appropriate human oversight.
Our approach considers where AI can add value, where conventional software controls are more suitable and how the two can work together.
