Everyone owns a house. If you are living with your family members, you will require more car park as our Malaysian, everyone of us might not own a house at 20 but we have a great chance to own a car, no matter you use the car for working and go to school. Therefore, the traffic flow in Malaysia is huge and the public transport is not convenient compare to some developed country.

In my opinion, I think that the road might change to a new technology which produces electricity through push-ups. How does it function? It might hide under the normal roads. It will produce electricity while the cars create pressure on the road. It might have real time data collection. For example, in some parts of the road, the police traffic will switch a one of the reverse lanes to the forward lane to resolve the traffic jam. I think we might have centre reservation which could move based the real time data collecting which show traffic flow on every road in our country to resolve the traffic jam.

Moreover, the multi-sensor fusion approach could integrate various types of sensors with intelligent algorithms to achieve efficiency and precise in traffic monitoring. The Fiber-optic or piezoelectric sensors embedded in the road surface can accurately detect vehicle count, speed, weight, and type. Overhead and roadside sensors combine radar and LiDAR, which are used for speed and distance measurement as well as detailed 3D shape recognition. The computer vision system uses AI powered cameras to identify the vehicles, predict the drivers’ behaviors, and detect the risk of incidents happening. At the same time, the system integrates the GPS data from platforms such as Google Maps and Waze, as well as data from connected vehicles, to provide more comprehensive data of traffic flow. All the data are transmitted in real time to a central AI driven traffic management platform, which uses machine learning to analyze and predict traffic conditions in real time data. It needs to be under government control to confirm that the safety of the driver is being protected. Through identifying and mitigating potential congestion issues in advance.

  The path to turning this technology into reality is faced with multiple challenges. Firstly, the enormous of the initial investment cost constitutes a significant economic barrier, placing immense financial pressure on the project from its very inception. Secondly, the long-term reliability of the system is a cause for concern, as its precision moving parts and power generation equipment are constantly exposed to the outdoor environment. They must not only endure the repeated stress from heavy vehicles but also resist erosion from various complex weather conditions. The high maintenance costs and durability risks are critical challenges that must be resolved for its commercial operation. Even more critical are the issues of public acceptance and potential safety hazards. Any single mechanical failure or system malfunction could lead to catastrophic consequences. Gaining drivers' complete trust in this moving barrier is the psychological foundation for the project's success, without which the project would be a non-starter.

Finally, the existing legal framework lacks compatible regulations. From design certification to accident liability determination, it is necessary to promote the establishment of a completely new set of regulations and safety standards. This is a complex and lengthy process, requiring the identification and control of potential risks from the perspectives of all relevant parties, including car drivers, motor vehicle operators, and pedestrians. Therefore, the realization of this technology is not only a test of technical feasibility but also a comprehensive challenge involving economic costs, engineering durability, social psychology, and institutional innovation.
