Managing traffic safety and highway congestion within the available resources has become a serious concern for authorities today. Over the last few years use of the term ‘smart’ has become a widespread practice at all levels. A shrewd street is a street outfitted with mechanical devices that interface with its environmental factors (individuals and nature) to improve transportation wellbeing and productivity. The use of Internet of Things (IOT) devices on a smart road will improve safety, efficiency, and meet government objectives. This can be implemented by using advanced technologies like Light Sensors, Dynamic paint, Motion Sensors, IOT Devices, Interactive Lighting System, The solar roadways, Glow in the night, wind powered lights, Electric priority lane etc. Throughout this we will examine the current state and development of transportation technologies, along with some of the emerging innovations in smart roads and more advanced transportation technologies.
