Smart Roads Market
The smart roads market is growing rapidly across the globe. This revenue growth majorly attributes to the introduction of autonomous vehicles with the increased risk of on-road accidents. Smart roads guide the drivers of vehicles against any obstacle on the way, which the driver may not be able to see. Moreover, substantial investments by major players and government initiatives to promote the advanced infrastructure escalate market growth.
According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global smart roads market is poised to reach approximately USD 39 BN by 2023, growing at 16% CAGR throughout the review period (2017-2023). ‘Electrically connected smart roads’ is a major trend proving significant impetus to the growth of the smart roads market. Also, smart roads and related technologies try to reduce vehicle emissions by identifying the best and shortest route for any vehicle to reach its destination.
Additionally, the rise in global traffic and traffic congestion concerns creates a vast demand for a better traffic management system and advanced infrastructure for connected vehicles and roadside assistance. The upcoming 5G revolution and other technological advances such as ANPR, lane warning/keeping systems, wireless radio communication, and others propel market growth. Also, financial, logistical, technical, and informational support from governments to develop smart cities boosts the market demand.
