### Internet of Things' Impact on Toll Collection, Highway RTC and Traffic Management  
As the Internet of things has started to play an active role in our day-to-day life, it is expected that it has a potential to transform conventional ways of doing business on highways. Table 6 shows that over 90% of the seasoned respondents of this survey, who excel in their field believe that the Internet of things can revolutionize the conventional ways of collecting toll tax. As more and more vehicles will be connected to the Internet, it will be easier to trace and deduct tolls for the usage of highways from point A to B. Moreover, 98% of respondents are convinced that the Internet of things will assist in highway real time communication (RTC) and traffic management. Highway real-time communication refers to the instant disbursement of information in real time using the Internet of things technology. This will help the network of connected and autonomous automobiles use several data points. For example, the information about weather, accidents and change in speed limits, congestion or other emergencies could be transmitted in real time, hence, letting the vehicles reroute their itinerary. IoT will also help in better traffic management on highways in order to keep up with time. It can also result in different

tolling strategies by evenly distributing the traffic by enforcing higher toll rates during congestion hours. This could result in variable peak and off-peak times and the vehicles would be informed about such changes via RTC. Moreover, when tested for the importance of each variable within the group via the Wilcoxon signed rank test in Table 7, it became obvious that highway operators tend to believe the Internet of things will prove to be of more assistance compared to highway RTC and traffic management on highways. Highway RTC and traffic management are important, but when compared with one another, their significance is higher than 0.05. Thus, it shows that the Internet of things will have equal impact on both highway RTC and traffic management on highways. However, according to the experts, there will be a significant impact of the Internet of things on toll collection on highways.
