With the rapid advancement of Internet Things (IoT) technology, its applications in road infrastructure have garnered attention. However, challenges persist when applying IoT to monitoring, including insufficient durability front-end sensors, pavement damage due sensor embedding, and redundancy a vast amount real-time data, hindering long-term monitoring pavements. To address these challenges, this study developed self-powered distributed intelligent system based on IoT, encompassing network, cloud platform, communication power supply system. Considering specific characteristics slipform paving for cement concrete pavements, an integrated process was proposed, merging embedded sensors with material structures. Through on-site engineering actively collects analyzes various data types such as energy consumption, temperature humidity, environmental noise, wind speed direction, structural vibrations, providing support design, maintenance, vehicle-road synergy applications. Future efforts will continue promote application technology digital traffic safety, optimized structure design.
