Chapter 9
Invisible Roads and Transportation
Engineering
Abstract A new technology invisible road has been proposed in this chapter to
confirm zero emission of greenhouse gas from transportation infrastructure system
to green infrastructure and transportation system. Simply underground maglev system is to be constructed for all transportation systems to run the vehicle smoothly
just over 2 ft over the earth surface by propulsive and impulsive force at flying stage.
Vehicles will not require any energy since it will run by superconducting electromagnetic force created by the maglev technology. A wind energy modeling has also
been added to meet the vehicle’s energy demand when it will run on non-maglev
area. Naturally all maglev infrastructure network will be covered by evergreen herb
except pedestrian walkways to absorb CO 2 , ambient heat, and moisture (vapor)
from the surrounding environment to make it cool. Indeed, the proposed maglev
transportation infrastructure technology will be an innovative one in modern engineering science which will also reduce the climate change dramatically.

Introduction
Urban and suburban area massively depends on transportation infrastructure
networks which are primarily constructional with concrete and asphalt and it does
not have enough vegetation to absorb heat caused by these asphalt and concrete [1,
2]. Recent research found that transportation infrastructure on earth is approximately 0.9% of the total planetary surface area of 196.9 million mi
2
which is equivalent to 1.77 million miles square infrastructure on earth which is causing nearly 6%
of global warming by reflecting heat (albedo) back to the space [3, 4]. On the other
hand, conventional energy utilization for the transportation sectors is not only costly
but also causing adverse environmental impact [5, 6]. A variety of studies have
been performed to understand long-term climate variations by conventional energy
