Smart Roads

Smart Road technologies and applications will shape the future of transportation in this Fourth Industrial Revolution. There cannot be a Smart City without a smart road and together a Smart City with smart roads can provide citizens with smart mobility.

The road infrastructure and mobility sectors face major challenges for the next century and a new paradigm that makes Smart Roads a reality is what is required to ensure that Smart Roads are integrated into the future

iX engineers is currently developing and testing technology through our Digital Solutions team to find ways of making South African roads smarter and safer for all users through the use of IOT (Internet of Things).

The smart Roads concept is much more than just sensors and feedback loops. Smart roads include:

• Smart pavements and structures with sensors and feedback loops

• Smart electronicasset management systems

• ECO friendly roads (recycled materials)

• Green roads sustainable and low-cost (use of recycled materials)

• Self healing roads (asphalt)
