Smart Highway Project: Enhancing Safety And Security Of Drivers

Question:

Discuss about the Role of Governmental Information Provision.

The advancement in the technology has helped the organizations in making use of the different aspects of the change in the structure and the functioning of the business. The organizations have taken steps to develop science and technology to fit in to the needs of safety and security of the human race. Similar kind of efforts were taken by a collaborative action that was taken by Studio Roosegaarde and the engineers from Heijmans Infrastructure for determining the safety of the drivers through the implementation of the “Smart Highway” project.

The main purpose of the report is to determine the various considerations that are  being undertaken by the collaborators in order to develop the project in order to bring in changes in the technology and the user of the same in order to ensure  the safety and the security of the people. The report enumerates the model of the organization and the pros and cons that might be faced by the same while undertaking and implementing the change.

The relation between the building blocks for the projects is based on the understanding of the different factors that affects the availability of the resources and the main function that is being undertaken by the collaborators for bringing in the change in the system and the functioning of the project as per the needs of the users. The project is an eco-friendly approach of adhering to the needs of the drivers as they face difficulties in driving at night due to the change in the weather conditions (Tsai  & Chang,  2012). On the other hand, the project also includes the usage of renewable sources of energy for lighting up the substitutes for the street lamps. It will be helping the collaborators in meeting up to the requirements of the drivers. The cost structure and the approval that is gained by the project will be helping the same in adhering to the requirements of the users. On the other hand, the utilization of the chief resources in the project will be helping the collaborators to meet the requirements of the drivers.  The critical success factors that determine the proper implementation of the project is being discussed in this section of the report.

The understanding of the needs of the drivers while undertaking the technological change, which is being planned by the collaborators. The major aspects of the success are based on the amendments that are being delivered to the users of the highway through the determination of the needs of the same (Xu et al., 2012).

Customer Relationships and Value Proposition

The proper functioning of the Smart technologies will be helping the project to boost up based on the determination of the needs of the users. The smooth functioning of the processes will be helping the project is succeeding.

The risks that might be faced by the collaborators while undertaking the development of the project is being discussed in this section of the analysis.

The malfunctioning of the technologies might affect the smooth functioning of the project in the market. It affects the smooth functioning of the elements that are being introduced as a part of the Smart Highway project. The malfunctioning of the technologies affect the prospects of growth and acceptance of the project.  

The durability of the chief resources that are being used as part of the project affects the development of the project as per the needs of the users. The paint that is being used as the major technological backdrop of the project might be erased through the passage of time. On the other hand, the proper functioning of the turbines and the electricity generators might get affected which creates a havoc impact on the development of the project. The cost that is being incurred by the developers might also affect the need of the resources to be changed after a span of time.

The changes that can be taken by the collaborators are being discussed in this section of the report. It helps in understanding the manner in which the project could be made more effective as per the needs of its user.

The feedbacks will be helping the organization in taking steps for bringing in improvements in the structure and the functioning of the project.

Monitoring over the technological aspects of the project will be helping the collaborators to undertake the smooth functioning of the project subsequent to its affiliation.
