Can smart lines connect to the internet and replace people calling for ambulance?

It will not be far-fetched if smart roads in the future can identify the location of cars on the road and call an ambulance as soon as possible in the event of an accident.

The modern world has smartphones, smart cities and many other connected utilities. But there is one real thing we haven't done yet, it's the smart road system .

Smart road system is about to become a reality.

You can see, the roads stretch all over the world and they also play a huge role in human life. For one thing, people cannot do anything other than just walk on them. However, a technology start-up called Integrated Roadways in Kansas City is embracing a bold idea with roads.

According to Kansas City Star, start-up Integrated Roadways is cherishing the ambition of smart roads, making them safer and more versatile thanks to smart technology.

Integrated Roadways' idea involves replacing asphalt with special concrete layers to help turn a normal road into a smart, capable vehicle detection and location in real time.

Structure of smart lines.

If you know the position and speed of the vehicle, the smart line can become a "messenger" very effectively in case of an accident. In addition, smart roads will also help to collect real-time data on road conditions and traffic jams. Through it, the driver will know which route is most portable and safe.

According to Futurism, Integrated Roadways envisions a smart road system that will become the backbone of a fast-paced, new generation of wireless connectivity - without the need to build more transmission infrastructure.

Of course, the technology community is no longer skeptical about the practicality of a smart road. In the future when self-driving cars become the main trend, whether smart roads are really necessary when the car can fully determine the direction of travel and avoid obstacles.

Will anyone have access to collected data about vehicles traveling on the road?

Besides, the most worrying issue is data. Will anyone have access to collected data about vehicles traveling on the road? Or how will smart data collect data? Does the driver have to accept the terms and conditions before entering smart highways?

In response to these questions, Tim Sylvester, founder of Integrated Roadways said, the smart line will not collect personal data. Sylvester explained: "We will not say this is John Smith's Lexus but we only know it is a Lexus."

People cannot do anything other than just walk on them.

So the driver when passing here has lost tolls? In the video introducing the smart road idea, Integrated Roadways mentions getting financial resources to maintain the road by selling data to third parties to make money from advertising and other services.

Integrated Roadways is currently working with the Colorado Department of Transportation, USA on plans to deploy smart roads in the future, although currently this is just an idea on paper.
