1. Advances in Design and Testing of Future Smart Roads: Considering Urbanization, Digitalization, Electrification and Climate Change
2022 by Dina K. Kuttah
In Advances in Design and Testing of Future Smart Roads, Dina K. Kuttah tackles the deeply existential question of what roads might look like if they were as clever as the people driving on them claim to be. This isn’t your average “slap some asphalt down and hope for the best” guide; it’s a cosmic reimagining of streets that can think, adapt and even politely handle climate change’s tantrums like flooding and ice accumulation. The book imagines a world where roads are reconfigurable, removable and possibly plotting to unionize. Testbeds for futuristic urbanization, digitalization and electrification challenges are laid out with an almost suspicious amount of foresight, complete with recommendations that make even potholes seem like yesterday’s problem. Whether you're a road construction magnate, a municipal bigwig, or just a student who’s really into highways, this guide to streets smarter than your GPS is packed with enough innovation to make the ground beneath your feet feel a little futuristic.

2. Technologies for Smart Cities
2022 by Yuri A. Vershinin, Fedor Pashchenko, Cristina Olaverri-Monreal
In Technologies for Smart Cities, Yuri A. Vershinin, Fedor Pashchenko and Cristina Olaverri-Monreal take you on a whirlwind tour of the cities of tomorrow—places where even your toaster might have an opinion about urban planning. This book isn’t just about slapping some sensors on buildings and calling it a day; it’s about orchestrating a symphony of smart devices, from chatty electricity meters to clever traffic systems that might finally make rush hour less apocalyptic. As the authors explore everything from energy-slashing integrations to Intelligent Transport Systems that seem to know your next move better than you do, the book gently suggests a future where technology doesn’t just coexist with humanity—it fixes everything we’ve been messing up. Throw in a dash of blockchain (because why not?) and you’ve got a guide to cities so smart they might eventually start asking for vacation days. If you’re ready to peek into a future where even the streetlights are plotting ways to save the planet, this is your ticket.

3. Smart Transportation Systems 2019
2019 by Xiaobo Qu, Lu Zhen, Robert J. Howlett, Lakhmi C. Jain
In Smart Transportation Systems 2019, Xiaobo Qu, Lu Zhen, Robert J. Howlett and Lakhmi C. Jain invite you to buckle up for a wild ride through the mind-bending world of modern transport. This isn’t just about cars getting smarter—it’s about a future where vehicles talk to each other, drive themselves, float through the air and maybe even complain about traffic. Compiling the brightest ideas from KES-STS 2019, this book tackles the dizzying transformation of transportation systems, from the surreal sci-fi of Hyperloops to the everyday magic of intersections that don’t induce rage. Along the way, it navigates safety assessments, freeway shenanigans and infrastructure modeling with the kind of precision that makes you wonder if roads are about to become sentient. If you’ve ever looked at a traffic jam and thought, “Surely, we can do better,” this is your Hitchhiker’s Guide to the gloriously complicated, interconnected and slightly overambitious future of transport.
