Proceedings of Conference on Sustainable Traffic and Transportation Engineering in 2023

This open access book discusses modern cutting-edge techniques and theoretical research in the domain of transportation engineering. As China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) gains momentum over these years, the construction of transport routes between China and its neighboring countries has seen an unprecedented rise, which draws increased attention from researchers to the theoretical advances and technological innovation in the construction of transportation facilities. It will be an invaluable asset for the development of transport infrastructure construction technologies worldwide. Among the landmark engineering projects in the initiative are the Piraeus Port in Greece, the 100-MW photovoltaic power plant in Hungary-Kauposberg, and the Monnet Railway in Kenya, each of which stands out with its innovative highlights in theoretical research and technological advances. The book is expected to share with global experts and engineers in the field of transportation advanced research results and technologies in construction from China, discuss new research topics and explore feasible solutions in the realm of transportation engineering.

The main topics discussed in this book include:

a. New theories and technologies for the construction of roads, railroads, subways, airports, bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure;

b. Advanced theories and technologies for the construction of ports, dams, reservoirs, sluices, hydraulic tunnels, canals and other infrastructure;

c. Novel materials and innovative application of these materials to the construction of transportation facilities.

This book is intended for graduate and doctoral students, experts and engineers in the field of transportation engineering.
