A Pathway to Safe, Smart, and Resilient Road and Mobility Networks
This book provides case studies and state-of-the-art research findings for cutting-edge technologies relevant to transportation infrastructure projects, with emphasis on safe, smart, and resilient road and mobility networks. The market share of the global infrastructure projects is estimated at $3.4 trillion, the socioeconomic rate of return is around 20%, and significant progress has been made in the last decade in maintenance of existing projects and to improve future construction projects for the well-being of the society. Different book chapters focus on emerging challenges including readying road infrastructure to autonomous vehicles, safety of road users, increased efficiency and sustainability of infrastructure projects, and advances in construction materials and technologies of highways, tunnels, and bridges. State-of-the-art research includes the current and future applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), intelligent transportation systems (ITS), artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of things (IoT), big data, smart materials, and additive manufacturing (AM). This book is intended for transportation professionals, policy makers, researchers, practicing engineers, researchers, graduate students, and public and private sector transportation personnel
Cities’ Identity Through Architecture and Arts
This book presents works that book offer a novel interpretation of how today's urban problems can be tackled through the efficient use of resources and the modeling of solutions to best utilize the available features of cities. The second edition of this book compiles several research papers that present a detailed discussion of the formation and identification of cities and illustrate different case studies that deal with historical areas and buildings as part of preserving cities' vocabularies and self-identities. By unfolding a stimulating variety of topics in relation to the conservation of culture and identity, the book provides insights into planners and decision-makers, aiding them in their contributions to the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development goals with reference to heritage preservation.
Resilient and Responsible Smart Cities
This book aims to establish a community with attention to land use to achieve sustainable development and meet the needs of today’s society. Urban planning depends on engineering, architectural, social and political pillars. It pursues this by proposing solutions, regulating environmental pollution and non-sustainable use of available resources. It showcases and even triggers further debate about connections between sustainable development, urban planning and technology in hopes of achieving sustainable development models that sustain urban expansion and shape cities that improve the overall quality of life. It views urban planning and development as vital fields that ensure the application of revolutionary approaches with new materials and processes incorporated in the most efficient manner.
