How to Build Smarter Highway:An Analysis of Application Scenarios Based on Cloud Computing

The development of the transportation industry is of great significance to social progress and the well-being of the people. Smart highways are a vital component in the construction of an intelligent transportation system. How to build smarter highways has emerged as a hot topic of discussion within the industry. Cloud computing technology has been widely applied across various industries and has become the core driving force behind the innovation and transformation of traditional sectors. To this end, this paper first systematically reviews the typical application scenarios of cloud computing in the five key aspects of highway construction, management, maintenance, operation, and service. It explores how cloud computing technology enables the intelligent transformation of highways in different links. The aim of this paper is to reveal the operational mechanisms and application values of cloud computing throughout the entire life cycle of smart highways. It provides essential scientific references for the important issue of how to build smart highways, and is also expected to shed light on the relevant practices for the transformation and upgrading of the transportation industry.
