The Smart Road of the future according to Anas: technology, sustainability? and safety

The mobility of the future represents the priority; for Anas (Autonomous National Road Company), at the same time as the improvement of safety on road infrastructures in this way; as demonstrated by the experiments on traffic dividers and the adoption of sensors and optical fiber to weigh the vehicles passing over the bridges. The fil rouge is; undoubtedly technology , on which the institution intends to invest and base its strategies for the next few years.

near Cortina p>& Eacute; the CEO of Anas Massimo Simonini to describe the plans – and, in general, the intentions – of the company for the immediate future. “ The user is at the center of a multi-modal, integrated, digital and sustainable system '', he explains, and on this new perspective of smart road (worth 30 billion dollars in 2022) the renewal of our country's infrastructure system must be based. IoT and V2X are now a reality; consolidated , ready to guarantee a higher level of safety for everyone. And self-driving cars may soon be, even in Europe: it is estimated that by 2030 the turnover will be 190 billion euros, and that self-driving cars around the streets of the Old Continent < strong> exceed 4 million .

Hence the concept of digitalization of road infrastructures , now an inevitable consequence of a guide that will be; gradually more and more; & quot; smart, autonomous, connected, shared and electric & quot ;. The first examples are already; tangible, especially in the field of road safety with Structural Health Monitoring systems to constantly check the conditions of the structures. Not only safety, but also maintenance cost savings.

p> The Anas Smart Road project is based on the three pillars of sustainability (production and supply of green energy), of technology and security . It is defined as an “enabling technology for the development of Smart Mobility and preparatory to future scenarios of autonomous driving of vehicles”. Objective: to transform the road from asphalt to smart work by focusing on

IoT, AI, Big Data, ultra-broadband and advanced sensors intertwine to create a single platform on which motorists move. The first 250 million euros (out of 1 billion overall) have already been; allocated to complete the first phase concerning:

Along the Smart Roads there will be the Green Islands , where the facilities to power the entire network will be located (for example: photovoltaic panels and wind turbines) and cars ( electric charging columns). The drones called to monitor the infrastructure will also be recharged here, pending a regulatory framework that regulates its use in this sense.
