  • Abstract:
  • Highways are a nation’s backbone. They handle huge number of passengers and thus are expected to be safe, robust, economical and eco- friendly. But this is not the case in some countries of the world, Highways are slow, unreliable and non-eco- friendly. Automated highway system is a newly developed idea which uses different sensors and microprocessors for automation design process. The automated highway is the design concept introduced to enhance energy efficiency and other vehicular as well as user characteristics of highways. This paper looks into the details of this case that what ideal expectations could be held from highways of the future, how can we make use of the relevant technologies that we have currently and how can we use a combination of these technologies to make systems that can be implemented to create truly smart highways of the future. The paper therefore offers a bird’s eye view of this extremely dynamic sector and discusses some of their criticality and strengths allowing for optimization of energy and development of a smart highway improving energy efficiency and promoting social, economic and environmental sustainability.
