Smart Highway the intelligent and interactive road of tomorrow, increase driver’s visibility, has lines that glow in the night and charge during the day.
The Smart Highway is designed to make roads safer to travel, as it helps drivers to see in the dark or in other ways. It’s will be a great help to the drivers. Smart Highway is an innovative concept for the roads of tomorrow, it applies the opportunities offered by new technologies in smart ways.
Smart Highway is the result of an intensive collaboration between builder and developer Heijmans and designer Daan Roosegaarde. Although the differences between the two companies are great, they share their most important goal: innovating the Dutch landscape. The themes sustainability, safety and perception are key to the concept and are manifested in the newest technologies in energy and light. The system developed with infrastructure firm Heijmansuses, uses photo-luminescent paint to mark out the edges of the road.
Glowing Lines
Glow-in-the-dark lining absorbs energy during the day and glows in the dark. The lining emits light for as long as ten hours. A safe and sustainable alternative to conventional lighting for dark roads.
Dynamic paint
Temperature-controlled marking lights up and becomes transparent again, depending on temperature. The marking warns road users when the road deck can be slippery. Drivers experience direct interaction with the road deck.
Electric Priority Lane
Induction charging offers electric cars the possibility to charge themselves while driving. Electric priority lanes stimulate sustainable transportation.
Interactive light
Interactive lighting is controlled by sensors: it only turns on when traffic approaches. It is a sustainable and cost-saving alternative to continuous lighting. Interactive lighting can also provide speed guidance.
Dynamic Lines
Road deck markings can be flexibly adjusted, to show a continuous line or a dotted line. Dynamic traffic control, adjustable depending on the situation. Dynamic Lines contribute to capacity management.
Wind Light
The wind generated by passing cars activate small windmills along the road. The windmills generate energy, which is used to light up the lamps in the windmills. An energy-neutral application that makes the contours of the road visible. Additional dimension in the interactive experience of the highway.
