The Imperative Necessity of Erbil-Koya Highway Stretch
View PDF Abstract
Human civilization encompasses all that humans have created, both materially and morally, within a specific time and place. Thus, building highway extensions represents a significant addition to the material aspects of civilization. Highways are a crucial component of human development, affecting societies in social, economic, environmental, urban, and cultural ways. Connecting Erbil with Koya via a highway is expected to affect the populations of both cities and their surrounding areas. This paper examines the role of highways in societal development, with a particular focus on Koya. We have demonstrated the importance of highway design through mathematical models using modern speed parameters, fuzzy logic, and control methods. Additionally, we proposed a method for managing highway speeds through radar and remote sensing technologies. The paper highlights the inevitable societal progress resulting from the Koya-Erbil highway connection.
