Smart highways reduce congestion and save lives

whitePaper | July 14, 2022

The good news is that developments in ITS, the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advances in exciting areas such as driverless cars and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication will help alleviate congestion, reduce accidents and increase safety. As states struggle to balance funding priorities, including transportation, ITS technology and the emerging IoT ecosystem can enhance investments in transportation infrastructure, which is critical to the economic and social fabric of the U.S. and safe travel. For example, active traffic management, which includes advance notice about traffic conditions to motorists using variable speed limits, lane management signs and overhead message signs, has reduced collisions and congestion in the Seattle I-5 corridor.
