Abstract— This technical work describe infrastructure requirement and also the working principles and procedures involved in operation of a wise Road. a wise Road is comparable to a traditional highway but the difference is, it's equipped with the electronic gadgets required to capture static and dynamic physical entities occupied on the road at a given time and location. Now a day’s traffic safety and highway congestion has become a heavy concern to the authorities and it required to be managed them within the available resources. Also it's unimaginable to extend the capacity of highway infrastructure to compete with increase in traffic. In cities on transit, great deal of traffic data being generated and an integrated approach is required for the efficient management installation. Smart Road is an innovative approach wherein Information Communication Technologies (ICT) is merged with traditional infrastructure and integrated with digital technologies. Critical examination of literature review reveals that several technologies are available for data capturing and management. Notable among them are by using ultrasonic sensors, light sensors, motion sensors, camera and IOT devices. the info collected by the devices would be managed through cloud computing and massive data analytic methods. To assess this traffic situation spot speeds and traffic volumes are captured for peak and non-peak on the Express Highway and from the info captured 85th percentile speed. Smart road technology is discussed for transportation management.
Keywords— Smart Roads Traffic Congestion, IOT devices, Traffic Management.
