This book presents select proceedings of the 10th Conference on Transportation Systems Engineering and Management (CTSEM 2024). It focuses primarily on transport planning, traffic engineering, pavement technology, and sustainable construction practices. It sheds light on cutting-edge research in intelligent transportation systems like Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart data collection techniques, smart city applications, connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles. The book also delves into the use of waste and recyclable materials and suitable design formulations for the development of resilient and sustainable infrastructure. This book is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in transportation systems engineering and allied fields.
