About this eBook
Micro Roads explores a groundbreaking shift in architecture and urban planning: self-repairing road infrastructure. It highlights the potential of integrating technology like self-healing materials and micro-robotics to address the challenges of aging road infrastructure. Imagine roads that autonomously mend cracks using polymer asphalt infused with self-healing agents, or micro-robotic systems that detect and repair damage before it escalates. This approach promises to minimize disruptions, reduce maintenance costs, and create more sustainable urban environments.
The book begins by examining the limitations of current road construction and maintenance techniques. It then transitions into a detailed exploration of the science behind self-healing materials, including nanotechnology, and the engineering aspects of micro-robotic systems. Micro Roads delves into the ethical considerations and potential risks associated with deploying autonomous systems. It presents data on the cost-effectiveness and environmental impact of these technologies, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable infrastructure.
