"Smart" Parking
Wife Brousseau — the owners of Solar Roadways, introduced a demonstration of car Parking, consisting of solar panels, hexagonal shape. The uniqueness of these panels is that photovoltaic cells placed under a layer of heavy-duty textured glass. They are able to withstand the weight of multi-ton truck.
Panel is equipped with a circuit Board, sensors, controllable LEDs, and heating elements for operation in winter time to melt snow and ice buildup. With LEDs you can do a road marking, various signs, advertising signs and so on each independent section of the road. Sensors make the freeway interactive and "smart." In this case, each of the panels in the event of a failure easily removed and replaced. The total capacity of the prototype Parking – 3.6 KW eco-friendly solar energy.
To the Parking area you can connect external systems like point recharging electric vehicles. Under the cover of underground communication for effective maintenance of the entire system. Power and data cables laid along the technical corridor of the underground, where you can easily get the employees of the electric companies. The cables do not interfere on the surface and protected from freezing and wind.
You can hold any types of cables: television, fiber optic for high speed Internet or cable telephony.
Another useful feature of this incredibly smart Parking is the storage, purification and distribution of rainwater, which during the rain the soil gets a significant number of contaminants. A significant portion of the materials used will be recycled to achieve even greater environmental performance of the project.
