Smart Highways Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Demand for Sustainable Highways to Reduce Traffic Congestion Drives Market Growth

A sustainable highway enables societal development and economic growth and reduces negative impacts on the environment. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), sustainable highways are an integral part of sustainable development that should be assessed and considered for implementation throughout its lifecycle, from design through construction, operations, and maintenance. In addition to addressing environmental and natural resource needs, a sustainable highway caters to the demand for accessibility of transportation services and safe and comfortable walking, cycling, and transit routes. Highway authorities in the US are addressing sustainability through a wide range of initiatives, such as intelligent transportation systems (ITS), recycling, planning, environment linkages, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.

Increased government spending on construction and road infrastructure will offer more opportunities for North America's Smart Highway market. The public construction spending on the high way and street projects in the US reached US$ 95.5 billion in 2021, according to the US Department of Transportation. Also, as per the US Department of Transportation around US$ 350 million have been invested in the public and private funds for the smart city developments.

Increasing Advanced Technologies Adoption with Mobility Innovations

Various technologies, such as ad-hoc mesh Wi-Fi and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), keep the drivers informed of the changes in traffic lights and communicate with other vehicles to avoid collisions. Innovations in digital technologies are anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the smart highway market players during the forecast period. Governments across the globe are significantly investing in connected vehicle technologies to boost the smart highway market growth. For instance, The Colorado Department of Transportation plans to equip 2,500 government vehicles with C-V2X and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) technologies in 10 years. In China, C-V2X is widely adopted by the government as a key enabler of connected vehicles as they provide broad coverage.

Smart Highways Market Report Segmentation Analysis

Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the Smart Highways market analysis are disc technology, components, and geography.

  • Based on technology, the market is divided into smart transport management systems, smart traffic management systems, communication systems, monitoring systems, and others. Among these, smart transport management systems had the largest share in 2023. This is owing to increasing investment in smart cities with government initiatives.
  • Depending upon the component, the market is divided into hardware and software. Among these, the hardware segment has a larger share in 2023. This is owing to increasing investments in smart cities.

Smart Highways Market Share Analysis by Geography

The geographic scope of the smart highways market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America.

North America is expected to have the largest share in 2023. This is primarily owing to increasing investments in the highway to pay for bridges, toll roads, and tunnels. There are over 300 facilities across the US that transform the region's road transportation and highway scenario. According to Toll Miner Data Visualization tools, there are more than 114 operators that run more than 321 tolled facilities in the US. This uses ETC, covering a whopping 6,235 center-line miles of roadway. Therefore, the large-scale adoption of automated tolling systems, which eliminates cash payments (and toll plazas) from the facilities, encourages the successful implementation of other components and technologies of smart highways in North America.
