The Future Of Smart
Roads
Smart roads or connected corridors are roadways built or fitted with advanced features, including sensors that monitor and report real-time road conditions and WiFi transmitters that provide broadband services to vehicles, as well as special physical and digital twin features that will allow for automated vehicles in the future.
What Are AIVIA Connected Corridors?
Ferrovial and Cintra, together with top-tier global tech firms, are working on AIVIA, a connected smart road initiative which is helping to manage this transition – maximizing the utility CAVs can bring while providing benefits for all road users.
AIVIA aims to create high-speed road infrastructure by developing the blueprint of the sustainable infrastructure of the future for mixed traffic, using cutting edge technology to make travel safer, journey times more reliable and adding value to highway users through enhanced connectivity and the services that come with it.
We are now moving effectively from a vision – designs, thinking and analysis – towards concrete projects in Virginia and Texas, which will be launched operationally in late 2022.
Technology trials on those roads started Summer 2021 – beginning with high visibility markers, dynamic cats eyes, new camera and sensor technology, to be followed by full connectivity coverage for real-time data capture and critical safety messaging and additional services to drivers and their cars.
