According to Cox (2018), there is a possibility that Smart Road technology can be utilized as a crash-sensing ‘touchpad’ on highways. Cox (2018) also explained that in the five-year trial, along a half-mile stretch of U.S Highway 285, the road will be laid with “factory-made concrete slabs featuring wi-fi connectivity and embedded fibreoptic cables that act as pressure sensors.” This sensor will detect, notify and dispatch help for vehicular issues through the internet. Smart roads will shorten the duration as they inform real-time warnings about traffic and road hazards, significantly increasing the quality of motorists’ safety. Hence, this information becomes the pillar of transportation (Cox, 2018). However, the article states that Schwartz, a professor from an engineering faculty, had expressed his doubts regarding the consistency of the technology concerning technical disruptions and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, Colorado seems hopeful that this technology may aid in certain i...
