1. Advances in Design and Testing of Future Smart Roads: Considering Urbanization, Digitalization, Electrification and Climate Change
2022 by Dina K. Kuttah
"Advances in Design and Testing of Future Smart Roads: Addressing Urbanization, Digitalization, Electrification, and Climate Change" explores the crucial role that streets and roads play within our urban infrastructure and cities, emphasizing the need for their effective management and development. It responds to the growing demand from road construction firms, contractors, transport authorities, and municipalities for innovative road design models capable of meeting contemporary challenges and requirements. This book focuses on adapting existing road designs to effectively address these future challenges while optimizing their structural integrity. Additionally, it presents practical recommendations and models for road sections, including reconfigurable designs suitable for both road reconstruction and new construction projects. Key features encompass road testbeds designed to tackle upcoming urbanization, digitalization, and electrification challenges, insights into addressing potential climate change impacts like flooding and ice accumulation, and an introduction to the concept of reconfigurable and removable streets, complete with recommendations for corresponding testbeds. An essential resource, this book caters to road construction companies, contractors, transportation authorities, municipalities, educators, researchers, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of transportation infrastructure and future road design paradigms.

2. Technologies for Smart Cities
2022 by Yuri A. Vershinin, Fedor Pashchenko, Cristina Olaverri-Monreal
"Technologies for Smart Cities" offers readers a comprehensive overview of technologies pivotal to the advancement of Smart Cities. While some technologies, like smart meters for monitoring electricity and gas usage in buildings, are already accessible, there exists untapped potential in integrating these devices into broader networks with other independently operating smart devices. This integration holds promise for substantial reductions in energy consumption within buildings, curbing emissions in urban areas, and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents. Additionally, the book serves as a gateway to novel technologies not yet implemented in domains crucial to urban efficiency. For instance, it explores Intelligent Transport Systems designed to optimize traffic flow, reduce road accidents, enhance driver safety, and address transportation challenges. Furthermore, the book delves into the rapidly evolving landscape of Blockchain technologies.
