They say, however, that in addition to this one rat robots have not yet seen.

LED traffic vyboin

Let's be honest: the world stands on the threshold of sensational technological and scientific discoveries almost every week, and how to solve the problem of bad roads - so no one until the end and did not understand. In the United States banned winter tires, not to spoil the asphalt in Russia sometimes the road has to go around on the sidelines.

This problem is trying to solve the inventors gadget that sends signals to the satellites, using sensors monitors shaking in the car, and communicates with the road department to get information about the accident and repair work. All of this is displayed on the screen of the device and the driver sees the road map with regard to their quality.

Appendix Parker

Appendix Parker works in the US for a long time, but Russia seems to come not soon: it is necessary for the functioning of the communication with the traffic police and parking system of the city. The essence of the application to find available parking spaces in a given radius. Moskvich, which moves in the car, this app is sure would be appreciated: it not only indicates where you can "fit" into the parking lot, but also remembers the location and recalls, the end of paid time.

Gardens and parks of Barcelona began to reconstruct, given the current needs of the cities so that the authorities are trying to save energy by using solar cells to develop new walking routes and introduce a system samoorosheniya. It will work on the basis of data obtained from the indicators buried in the ground. Indicators should scan the soil for moisture, send the data to the main server, and he - to decide when and how much water the lawns and flowerbeds. This obviously will save water resources involved in maintaining the parks tidy.

Talking musorki

Trash bins, which the company BigBelly were installed throughout the United States a few years ago, aimed at solving the main problems of waste collection: from the fact that it must first be collected daily from all musorok city, and then - sort by plastic, glass , paper and other categories, the collection of waste means waste gasoline, labor and energy.

To reduce the consumption of resources, the company sets the containers running on solar cells and reported that they were filled. Trash, divided into two sections - the usual waste and «recycle» - compressed content yourself with the help of solar energy. Now, instead of a daily inspection is sufficient to empty bins once a week.

Monitoring road dvizheniya

Authorities in Los Angeles have attended too busy urban traffic in its own way: they set up all over the city lights and cameras that respond to movement, and also connected to the satellite system operating in real time.

With constantly updated information, the system calculates how fast and in what parts of the road traffic lights have to change the light. Depending on traffic, this is more or less frequently. The result - reducing the number of traffic jams in the city by 12%

In addition, the air enriched with oxygen, which allows one to clean billboards the same amount as 1200 trees, providing clean air for about five residential neighborhoods. The first such devices are interested in the mayor's office of the dirtiest cities in the world, among which were the capital of Peru, Lima and Mexico City.

Self-cooling kryshi

This invention becomes extremely important in matters of urban ecology, located in hot climates. The special coating allows the roof to regulate their temperature and reduce the sun's rays. Thus the surface is heating up in the heat, and the room itself under the roof do not become unbearably stuffy. This, in turn, allows to use less air conditioning, while maintaining a comfortable temperature in buildings and offices. Now, such a roof is installed in Sacramento, California, and several companies have already launched their own line of coatings, inspired by the commercial success of the invention.

Permeable mostovye
