Abstract

This study examines modern innovative solutions aimed at comprehensively addressing the challenges of transport and service infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and residential safety along the Central Asian corridor of the Great Silk Road in Uzbekistan. The research presents proposals and recommendations on: Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) utilizing artificial intelligence for traffic management, A network of innovative charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) powered by renewable energy, Eco-friendly energy solutions (solar, wind, and hybrid systems) for roadside infrastructure. Automated emergency monitoring and warning systems to enhance safety. Integrated security measures for residential areas near transport corridors. The findings highlight not only improvements in transportation efficiency but also strategies for ensuring environmental sustainability and public safety.
