Solar Roadways – Smart LED Road Panels With Microprocessors

Solar Roadways – The Roads of the Future – LED Lit Smart Roads with Microprocessors

Solar Roadways are an incredible technological advancement that may one day replace several types of pavement including:

• roadways
• parking lots
• sidewalks
• driveways

• tarmacs and runways
• bike paths
• playgrounds
• sports courts

 

 

 

There are several benefits to these high tech solar powered roads:

• They melt away ice and snow preventing accidents, injuries, and traffic
• You can ride bikes and motorcycles year round on them
• No more shoveling your driveway and sidewalk
• No more salt corroding your car
• No more wasting money on snow removal
• They can withstand the heaviest of trucks (250,000 pounds!)
• They have pressure sensors for animals on the road, boulders, etc.

Every solar roadway panel uses LED lights which can be programmed to make:

• Lanes for roads, highways, and parking lots
• Warnings for crosswalks, accidents, etc
• Sports configurations for solar recreation courts
• Better visibility for pilots landing

 Solar Roadways Are GREEN

• They pay for themselves, create free clean energy, and lower the overall cost of energy. If all roads in the United States were converted to solar roadways, they would produce 3 times as much power as the country currently uses!
• They could cut greenhouse gas by 75 percent; everyone could drive an electric car
• They’re made of as much recycled material as possible
• Their ability to filter storm water or direct it to a treatment facility can greatly decrease the amount of polution in soil, lakes, rivers, and oceans
• The 2 channel “cable corridor”  replaces telephone poles/wires and captures/filters/transports storm water

More Info About Solar Roadways

• Solar Roadways received two phases of funding from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration for research and development of a paving system that will pay for itself over its lifespan. They are finishing up their Phase II contract (parking lot prototype) and now need to raise funding for production.
• The Solar Roadways glass surface exceeds all requirements for traction, load testing, and impact resistance. It has been tested in civil engineering labs around the United States.
• Thousands of jobs, both domestically and internationally, can be created through the implementation of solar roadways; potentially a solution to the economic crisis
