Smart Roadways: Innovations in Geometric Design for Sustainable Urban

The book Smart Roadways: Innovations in Geometric Design for Sustainable Urban Mobility explores the transformative role of geometric roadway design in addressing urban challenges and the demands of smart cities. Authored by Dr. Akshay Gulghane Dr. Santosh Jaju and Dr. Nilesh Nirwan from G H Raisoni College of Engineering Nagpur integrates foundational principles with innovations like IoT AI and sustainable practices. Key themes include: the fundamentals of alignment sight distances and cross-sectional design; smart technology integration for traffic monitoring and predictive maintenance; and sustainable practices like green corridors eco-friendly materials and water-sensitive designs. The book emphasizes multimodal corridors for diverse users and advanced safety measures including crash prediction models and resilient designs. A standout case study of the Eastern Link Road project in the UK illustrates practical applications from advanced geometric modeling to intersection design and environmental enhancements. This resource equips planners and engineers to craft efficient inclusive and sustainable roadways for future urban needs.
