2 Smart Road Technologies Of The Future
1. Glow In The Dark
Rather than spend a large budget on road lighting or other lighting options that span across thousands of miles of roads, the idea to use glow in the dark road markings is a better, more adoptable alternative. Such markings are already made available on the road in the N329 highway in Oss, Netherland.
The markings are made using paint that contains photo-luminising powder that “charges up” during the day. These green glow markings stretch for 500 m long and will glow for up to 8 hours every night, transforming your driving experience Tron-like
2. Interactive Light
Aside from glow in the dark paint, there is also the idea to use motion-sensor lights. Interactive Light works in this sense: when a car approaches a particular stretch of a road, the motion sensors will light up only that section of the road. The lights will grow brighter as the car comes closer and will slowly dim away as it passes.
Interactive Light is perfect for highways that are less-travelled or not always packed with cars. You can’ afford to play dice with the safety of road users, for the sake of saving a penny or two, and Interactive Lights help kill two birds with one stone, providing night visibility as and when required
