Smart Highways Market Scope
The smart highway can be defined as a highway that embedded with smart technologies and has an advanced infrastructure. The smart highway has a real-time monitoring system to manage the traffic. Also, rising new technologies such as cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence have been making highways smarter than before. In addition to this, increasing government initiatives for better and sustainable highways and rising demand for safer roads and traffic control management system due to increasing road accident are the major driving factors for the market. Whereas, the rising trend of intelligent transportation systems to reduce greenhouse gas emission and fuel consumption have been supplementing the overall growth of the market. However, lack of technical knowledge, lack of awareness about smart highways among drivers and time taking construction process are the factors that are limiting the market.
