INTRODUCTION

In the context of evolving development and intelligent infrastructure, the forthcoming generation of transportation will be characterized by advanced road and bridge networks. As we analyze the trends impacting the future of our transport networks, a paradigm shift is necessary in our approach to major infrastructure projects. These trends encompass:

• Accelerated and continuous urbanization
• Technological advancements
• Resource limitations
• The expansion of emerging markets

To guarantee that the bridges/infrastructure we design today effectively address the unprecedented demands for construction speed and adaptability, a thorough understanding of future user requirements is paramount.
