Intelligent freeways are a type of freeway construction model based on information technology and intelligent technology. In order to facilitate research on intelligent freeways, this paper proposes SimIWay, an integrated simulation software platform for intelligent freeways based on SUMO and Unity3D. SimIWay consists of three parts: road network and traffic flow generation, integrated simulation tools, and application scenarios. The combination of these three parts forms a full-stack simulation platform, including functions such as traffic flow generation, freeway network construction, traffic simulation, traffic control, traffic data analysis and visualization. It supports importing real road networks and traffic flows from the real world, and can also customize virtual road networks and traffic flows according to requirements. The simulation tool consists of SUMO, Unity3D, and driving simulators, providing a realistic freeway simulation environment. The platform is highly modular and can simulate a variety of intelligent freeway application scenarios. We chose the example of variable speed limits (VSL) on freeways. The VSL control uses an extended Cell Transmission Model (CTM), which aims to improve the efficiency of freeway operations by formulating a single objective function and using a genetic algorithm for solving the speed limit values. The simulation of this scenario demonstrates the platform's ability to research intelligent freeways.

This comprehensive review explores IoT innovations in water, wastewater management, and water quality monitoring, emphasizing the transformative potential of these technologies. Combining sociometric and systematic review (SR) techniques, the study analyzes scientometric trends and co-occurrence networks linked to review topics. Research primarily centers on these aspects, averaging 15 articles annually since 2017, peaking at 24 in 2021. The SR unveils the widespread use of multiple sensors in monitoring, particularly water level, flow, and pH sensors. Common wireless technologies are emphasized for their role in advancing real-time monitoring. Innovative protocols such as Sigfox and Zigbee enhance sensor-IoT connectivity, improving communication in infrastructure management. Common challenges hindering system efficiency and data flow include sensor accuracy, energy optimization, communication reliability, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sensor coverage. Addressing these gaps is crucial for advancing IoT-driven water systems and enhancing decision-making. This study guides IoT practitioners in integrating automation and sustainability in water and wastewater management.
