Abstract - Smart highways, which are characterised by cutting-edge technology and intelligent systems, have attracted a lot of interest as a way to boost transportation efficiency, safety, and sustainability. The use of green energy sources in this situation has enormous potential to lessen environmental impact and improve energy efficiency. In order to achieve sustainable transportation, this abstract emphasises the importance of the idea of smart roads powered by green energy.Intelligent transportation systems, communication networks, sensors, and data analytics are a few of the cutting-edge technology that are included into smart roads. These components allow for the real-time monitoring, regulation, and optimisation of traffic flow, road conditions, and vehicle information, improving safety and easing congestion. There are various benefits to using green energy in smart highways. First off, it lessens dependency on energy sources derived from fossil fuels, which helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and prevent climate change. Second, because renewable energy is decentralised, there is a greater assurance of a more dependable and robust power supply, which lessens vulnerability to grid failures. The significance of smart, renewable-energy-powered highways in attaining sustainable transportation is highlighted in this abstract. The design, implementation, and performance of smart roads powered by green energy need to be improved, taking into account aspects like cost-effectiveness, scalability, and environmental impact.
Key Words: Green energy, renewable energy sources, solar
power, wind power, kinetic energy harvesting, sustainability, energy efficiency, carbon emissions, decentralised energy, resilient power supply, operational costs, transportation infrastructure, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and environmental impact.
