Abstract

The search for transforming highways into interactive and safe spaces, with sustainable and user-oriented solutions, gains more importance every day. Several international, public and private organizations are engaged in research projects and are part of the race for innovation in the field. In this context, Intelligent Transportation Systems play a fundamental role. Today there is a wide range of research related to those systems including technologies such as VANETs, systems based on information collected by sensors in vehicles and on smartphones and UAVs. This work presents a review of the topic Smart Roads and an analysis on the technologies used all over the world and in Brazil as well as the main challenges of information systems applied to highways. Huge transformations are coming on the international scene, but for Brazil, there are still many infrastructure problems to solve. Looking for high-value-added research and solutions should be an inspiration to develop systems that help the highways managers in the next steps towards the Smart Roads.
