  ABSTRACT: This paper presents a new integrated design of solar-powered roads and an inductive charging system that would be specifically tailored to the unique climate conditions of the Gulf region. This study suggests a new multi-layered adaptive infrastructure model that alters the traditional road surfaces into intelligent energy-producing platforms with unparalleled resilience to the desert environment. The suggested system will feature state-of-the-art dust-repellent nanotechnology coating, thermally responsive photovoltaic materials with improved temperature coefficients as well as a revolutionary modular power management system that adapts dynamically to the surrounding environmental conditions. This study provides a rough evaluation of the performance of the proposed system in different conditions, based on climate data, traffic rate, and current infrastructure in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Based on the conclusions, it becomes evident that the presence of high solar resources in the Gulf region and the sustainability of development emphasis of GCC countries can precondition the good conditions under which this type of infrastructure will be implemented, and potential energy generation can be estimated at 1.2 - 1.8 MWh per kilometer of road per day under the optimum conditions. The study also provides groundbreaking solutions to the issue of durability in the arid desert setting, which introduces dedicated engineering solutions to resolve the challenges of the environment.
