Real-Time Security Health and Privacy Monitoring for Saudi Highways Using Cutting-Edge Technologies

Abstract

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) highways hold the record for having the straightest, longest highways in the world. Since the country’s major population centers are dispersed across the country and due to the country’s geography, which includes valleys, deserts, and mountains, among other landscapes, these highways connect the many cities of the kingdom and neighboring nations. However, it is still challenging to provide emergency assistance in a timely way in the case of accidents, such as first aid, medical aid, police protection, etc. The transport ministry is actively working on improvements and safety features for the drivers. This research proposes a CET (cutting-edge technologies)-based model named the real-time security, health, and privacy monitoring model for passenger safety (RTSHPMP) for securing the traveler’s safety and privacy besides medical and legal help. The vehicle will be equipped with IoT-based front-back cameras to collect real-time data and share it with the cloud using 5G network. The local and national trusted authorities (TAs) will monitor the collected cloud data and inform the government machinery (police, first aid, fire brigade, hospitals) in the case of an accident. In addition, the data collected through other vehicles on the road at the time of the incident will help supply evidence linked to the accident. The RTSHPMP was evaluated with the help of a case study, and the results show that it provides an efficient and secure mechanism for traveler safety on Saudi highways at the time of need.

Improving Healthcare Facilities in Remote Areas Using Cutting-Edge Technologies

“…It also highlighted the significance of remotely monitoring and treating patients. It is anticipated that IoT, 5G, and cloud computing will play a crucial role in the future of healthcare by linking everything from wearables to emergency services, medical campuses, and hospitals [52]. By lowering latency, enhancing dependability, and boosting security, new healthcare use cases will be enabled and will profit from the availability of these innovative technologies.…”

A Hybrid Approach to Investigating Major Management Factors for Effective Highway Preventive Maintenance

“…With modern maintenance technology and e cient management, highways can operate normally and continuously improve their service level. To tackle heavy maintenance tasks, new technologies, materials, and techniques can be utilized to enhance pavement durability and extend the highway's service life (Humayun et al 2022, Kruachottikul et al 2021, Dellenbaugh et al 2020, Jalinoos et al 2020). However, the technical level of existing maintenance personnel is inadequate (Xue 2020).…”

“…However, despite the potential bene ts, the widespread adoption of HPM management has faced numerous challenges. These challenges include limited funding, lack of expertise, weak awareness of maintenance management, deteriorating road conditions, lack of political support, and other related management factors (Zhang 2018 Humayun et al 2022). Since these factors are reported in the literature in a piecemeal fashion, a comprehensive understanding of such factors and their dynamic impact from a systems perspective is highly desired.…”

Towards a Secure Technology-Driven Architecture for Smart Health Insurance Systems: An Empirical Study

“…They have started adopting healthier lifestyles using cutting-edge technologies such as wearable devices (WRD) and smartphone healthcare applications. Wearable technology can be any electronic device worn on the user’s body [ 57 , 58 , 59 ]. Smartphone healthcare applications provide medical-related services.…”
