Highways today are the lifelines of commerce, everyday travel and emergency services but they also present one of the most dangerous arenas on our road networks. Whether it’s high-speed vehicles, unexpected obstacles, wrong-way drivers or rapidly developing incidents, the margin for error is small and the costs of delay or mis-response are enormous. At MakeWise, we understand the pressure on operators, road authorities and infrastructure managers to deliver safety, reliability and speed of response. In that light, adopting AI-powered incident detection is not just a nice-to-have it’s becoming essential to keep our highways safer, smarter and more responsive.

In a world where supply chains span continents and embrace both physical goods and digital data flows, organisations face ever-growing complexity and risk. From cargo movements and raw-material inputs to multi-tier supplier networks and real-time data exchanges, every link in the chain is a potential vulnerability. At MakeWise, we empathise with the modern supply-chain professional who must deliver efficiency, cost-control and resilience all while safeguarding assets, shipments and data. In this context, leveraging AI vision technologies offers a new frontier for securing supply-chain operations, enabling visibility, verification and prevention rather than simply reaction.

If you manage a car park or a toll corridor, you know the pain of “invisible leaks”: tailgating at barriers, miskeyed plates, unpaid overstays, swapped tickets, faulty paper permits, and manual checks that can’t keep up with peak flows. Each small loss adds up eroding margins, distorting occupancy data, and frustrating compliant users. Automatic Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) changes the equation by turning cameras into real-time auditors: every entry and exit is recorded, rules are enforced consistently, and billing becomes accurate by default.

The deployment of computer vision systems is a critical decision for modern industries. Choosing between cloud and edge solutions affects speed, security, and scalability. This article explores the main trade-offs of each approach and highlights how MakeWise’s CHECKPOINT.VISION provides a balanced solution.

Makewise will be at SEGUREX 2025, Portugal’s leading exhibition dedicated to security, protection, and defence, taking place at FIL – Lisbon Exhibition and Congress Centre from October 21 to 23, 2025.

Motorways carry our economy, people, goods and services. Yet a single crash, breakdown, or storm can ripple into hours of congestion, higher emissions, and safety risks. Road operators need faster awareness, quicker decisions, and systems that learn from every incident. That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in: always-on, data-driven, and built to turn roadside signals into real-time action for safer, smoother journeys. In this article, we’ll dive into the role of AI in smart cities highways’ traffic management and why choose AI to transform Smart Highways.
