Better road construction to empower human-powered vehicles

Abstract

The daily commute to work and other purposes is becoming difficult and costly in metro cities in developing and developed countries. Sustainable and environmentally friendly vehicles, such as smart or electric vehicles, are gaining increased interest. However, the power source to run electric vehicles is still a big concern. Human-powered vehicles (HPVs) help people travel short distances. Though HPVs are environmentally friendly, they are not always time-efficient and feasible for all road conditions. A better method for road infrastructure construction, where gravity could help HPVs run smoothly and faster, might be an effective way to empower sustainable daily commutes in metro cities, as it would save fuel and reduce environmental pollution. This paper highlights the necessity of specialized road construction for HPVs for daily commuting. The study results show how smooth road construction and gravity could help provide a better experience for daily HPV commuters. This study’s findings can help urban planners and policymakers develop sustainable, energy-efficient road networks that improve commuter safety and encourage human-powered transport.
