| description | Eco-friendly road infrastructure is vital for the advancement of sustainable transportation and promotion of efficient urban mobility. This systematic literature review explores the current state of research and development in the eco-friendly road infrastructure area. This review explored three electronic databases to gather pertinent studies using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This study explored a wide range of research areas pertinent to eco-friendly road infrastructure. The findings highlight significant progress in the utilization of recycled materials, integration of photovoltaic, piezoelectric, and other energy harvesting technologies, regulatory frameworks, AI and machine learning for monitoring, predictive maintenance, and other technologies to enhance road sustainability and performance. This review analyzed the development of eco-friendly road infrastructure and identified several challenges such as high initial costs, technical performance issues, regulatory gaps, limited public acceptance, and the complexity of integrating advanced technologies. Addressing these challenges will require collaboration, further advancement in knowledge, and standardized regulations. This review serves to broaden the knowledge of the area and offer direction for future research and policy discussions, underscoring the need for continuous advancement in eco-friendly road infrastructure to meet sustainable development goals and address the challenges of climate change. |
