This startup designed roads that pay for themselves (and charge your electric vehicle while driving) Longtime Kansas City startup Integrated Roadways is earning recognition for the company’s plans to transform roads into “smart roads” by embedding digitally connected technology directly into the pavement — coming soon to Lenexa City Center.

Road fatalities and injuries have been rising for 10 years, and for every incident, there are many more near misses and safety hazards.

We will discuss digital infrastructure's role in improving at IWCE's Connecting Critical Communications conference later this month. Learn more: https://agenda.iwceexpo.com/session/how-digital-infrastructure-can-improve-traffic-safety/890820

We are excited to attend our first ! If you are attending, be sure to connect with our Director of Partnerships, Eric Tucker at the event. We will be talking 5G, Edge and our Smart Pavement system.

: Our Smart Pavement made Fast Company's 2022 Next Big Things In Tech list. Here are some pictures from the Winter 2022 issue.

Are we living the "City of Tomorrow"? The reality is that the new generation of electric and autonomous vehicles and demand for data will require upgraded infrastructure. Check out this article from ForConstructionPros.com featuring Smart Pavement - our answer to integrating advanced mobility within our communities.

Information Super-Highway: The Pros and Cons of Smart Pavement Smart pavements have the potential to transform roadways into support platforms for EVs, autonomous vehicles, and, also, for data services. How can road builders utilize this emerging technology, and what greater implications could there be?

Managed lanes are where a set of lanes within a freeway cross section are separated from general-purpose lanes. Examples of this include HOV lanes and toll lanes. These lanes offer optimized traffic flow to help reduce congestion and allow for road flexibility.

This lane management strategy has gained interest over the last few years in areas that want to see a more effective and efficient future of freeways. On top of this, having interstates that are compatible with traffic data tracking, 5G, and wireless charging all contribute to a better roadway system.

Electric vehicle charging is gaining recognition in different communities across the nation. With the widespread interest, more charging stations are becoming available which could increase issues of theft and vandalism. Security of these stations is important. One solution is dynamic (in-motion) charging which limits the chance of theft since there’s no need for stopping.

ICYMI: Integrated Roadways landed a spot on Company’s “Next Big Things in Tech 2022” rankings for our Smart Pavement technology.

We developed our digital infrastructure with sensors and technology that can track real-time traffic and vehicle data. This can be used to help cities, businesses, and real estate developers make smarter, data-driven decisions.

Founder and CEO Tim Sylvester shares his gratitude for this accomplishment, explaining “the recognition is a reminder of how mindsets have shifted about smart roads and digital infrastructure. It’s great seeing people realize that it’s time for infrastructure for the next generation.”

Why Integrated Roadways makes Fast Company’s ‘Next Big Things in Tech’ About half the nation's roadway structures need to be replaced, a CEO says, and “we can’t do it the old way that our great-great-grandparents came up with 100 years ago.”

Will the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) affect digital infrastructure?

Miguel Jaramillo, Director of Business Development, explains that the IIJA can be the stimulus needed to push forward the adoption of digital infrastructure needed to create the long-awaited smart communities.

Stay tuned for more insights from our Integrated Roadways team of experts.

Your GPS is critical for navigation but did you know that these systems have a higher chance of experiencing complications due to outages and interference? As autonomous vehicle usage increases, the need for better tracking systems rises.

Founder and CEO Tim Sylvester explains, “The coming wave of autonomous vehicles may require a better location system. The most promising alternative to GPS for connected and autonomous vehicles is Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Telemetry (APNT). This method is built into the local infrastructure, including cell antennas, Bluetooth beacons, Wi-Fi, or other ‘alternative’ means to position, navigate, and receive vehicle telemetry.”

Projections estimate there will be 54.2 million autonomous cars on our roadways globally by 2024.

Progress is being made in the development of autonomous vehicles, but the price and complexity of current driverless tech systems mean the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles is still far out of reach. Our Smart Pavement and APNT technology can make full vehicle autonomy a reality! APNT helps to safely track and navigate autonomous vehicles using in-road sensors to read vehicles’ positions on the road.

As great as autonomous trucking sounds regarding time and sustainability, it also poses liability and curb management issues for local governments. Roadway redesign and lane segmentation are essential to support the needs of autonomous trucking and delivery systems before their use can be more widespread.

Integrated Roadways CEO and Founder, Tim Sylvester, provides more commentary on the issue in the latest Smart Cities Dive feature: http://bit.ly/3V79XM1

Self-driving trucks might cause headaches for city leaders, says one roadway executive Despite saving time, improving safety and cutting carbon emissions, as one study found, driverless delivery vehicles pose liability and curb management issues, says Tim Sylvester of Integrated Roadways.

According to a survey from Cars.com, 80% of people plan on traveling via road during Thanksgiving weekend. For those traveling by car, 18% are planning to travel in an EV.

Integrated Roadways’ digital infrastructure encourages safer roads through our real-time traffic data that can provide automatic alerts to notify drivers of real-time traffic updates and alert emergency officials of accidents. This is just one of many features we’re working to transform ordinary roads into smart roads to support connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles (CEAVs).
