Investigating the performance of eco-friendly smart asphalt in sustainable urban development with emphasis on air purification, energy production, and pavement deterioration monitoring

Imagine if our roads could do more than just carry cars-what if they could clean the air, sense their own cracks, and even generate electricity? That's no longer science fiction. This article introduces a new kind of asphalt that's not just black and boring, but alive with technology. By adding tiny particles that react to sunlight, sensors that monitor stress and damage, and devices that turn heat into energy, this smart asphalt becomes part of the solution to problems like urban air pollution, energy waste, and costly road repairs. Although it costs more to build than regular asphalt, in the long run, it saves cities money and helps make streets cleaner, greener, and smarter.
