Resilient Innovation, Paving the Way Forward
Since its establishment, Taiwan Provincial Highway No.2 has attracted global visitors with diverse natural landscapes and cultural heritage. However, illegal land occupation, disorderly facilities, and climate impacts previously affected road safety and visual quality. To address these sustainably, interagency cooperation reclaimed occupied spaces aligned with the UN's 2030 SDGs. Our innovative maintenance strategy includes smart management, sustainable construction, and low-carbon materials. Automated pavement inspections and a Pavement Management System significantly enhanced efficiency. An AI-based slope disaster prevention system strengthened resilience. Advanced construction equipment improved service quality and durability. Low-carbon materials, including warm-mix asphalt, asphalt-brick repairs, preventive maintenance, and circular economy-based slope protection, further reduced emissions and extended pavement lifespans. This comprehensive approach aligns with SDGs 9, 11, 13, and 17, establishing the North Coast Highway as a smart, safe, and sustainable road model through continuous collaboration and innovation
