System, apparatus, and method for implementing one or more internet of things (IoT) capable devices embedded within a roadway structure for performing various tasks

A system, comprising:

• one or more first Internet of Things (“IoT”)-capable devices of a plurality of IoT-capable devices, the one or more first IoT-capable devices being embedded within a roadway structure of a roadway, each first IoT-capable device comprising:
• one or more first sensors;
• a first transceiver;
• at least one first processor;
• a first non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one first processor, the first non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a first set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one first processor, causes the IoT-capable device to:
• receive at least one first sensor data from the one or more first sensors;
• and
• send the at least one first sensor data to a computing system via machine-to-machine communications, via the first transceiver;
• the computing system, comprising:
• a second transceiver;
• at least one second processor;
• a second non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one second processor, the second non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a second set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one second processor, causes the computing system to:
• receive the at least one first sensor data from each of one or more first IoT-capable devices via machine-to-machine communications via the second transceiver;
• analyze the at least one first sensor data to determine one or more first actions to be taken;
• identify one or more devices for performing the determined one or more first actions to be taken, based on the at least one first sensor data from each of the one or more first IoT-capable devices;
• and
• autonomously control each of the identified one or more devices to perform one or more tasks, based on the determined one or more first actions to be taken, by sending control instructions to each of the identified one or more devices;
• and
• the one or more devices, each comprising:
• a third transceiver;
• at least one third processor;
• a third non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one third processor, the third non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a third set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one third processor, causes the device to:
• receive the control instructions from the computing system;
• and
• perform one or more tasks of the device based on the control instructions.

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more first processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled with the one or more first processors, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, causes the apparatus to:
• receive at least one first sensor data from each of one or more first Internet of Things (“IoT”)-capable devices of a plurality of IoT-capable devices via machine-to-machine communications, each of the one or more first IoT-capable devices comprising one or more first sensors that collect the at least one first sensor data, each of the one or more first IoT-capable devices being embedded within a roadway structure of a roadway;
• analyze the at least one first sensor data to determine one or more first actions to be taken;
• identify one or more devices for performing the determined one or more first actions to be taken, based on the at least one first sensor data from each of the one or more first IoT-capable devices;
• and
• autonomously control each of the identified one or more devices to perform one or more tasks, based on the determined one or more first actions to be taken.
