Solar Roadways’ solar powered information display system for city streets and highways

Smart signboards integrated on roads are here. A company known as Solar Roadways has developed a prototype of what might soon find its place “in” our city streets. These signboards power themselves up using solar power. Structurally engineered solar panels, strong enough to be driven upon, juice up the system. It uses LED lights to “paint” instructions and lines on the road. Besides this, the system is also intelligent enough to sense wild-life or children crossing the street and display messages like “Slow Down”. These 12’ by 12’ solar panels have embedded heating elements that help melt snow and ice, preventing build ups.

This system built by Solar Roadways will change the way highway information displays function in future.
