About this ebook
""Smart Roads"" explores how Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are revolutionizing roadways, focusing on enhancing road safety, optimizing traffic flow, and minimizing environmental impact. The book argues that integrating advanced technologies into road infrastructure is essential for creating sustainable and safe transportation ecosystems. For example, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication can significantly mitigate accidents. This book uniquely integrates technical aspects with social, economic, and environmental implications.
The book begins by introducing core ITS concepts like the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and machine learning. It then systematically explores key themes such as using adaptive traffic signals and real-time route optimization to improve traffic flow, and promoting energy efficiency through eco-routing and connected vehicle technologies. Supported by empirical data and case studies, ""Smart Roads"" offers insights valuable to policymakers, urban planners, and transportation engineers interested in the future of transportation.
