Among roads authorities there is a growing recognition that innovation can make a real difference before it can improve safety, reduce costs, reduce pollution and provide better maintenance. In particular, innovation offers the chance to develop intelligent design and procurement of infrastructure, build intelligence into infrastructure, develop more intelligent management and use of infrastructure, obtain more and better information for drivers on the operation of the network, and create products, services and insight to sell to other highways authorities internationally.
