INTERESTING ROAD INVENTIONS THAT ARE ON AN ENTIRELY NEW LEVEL

[Music] permeable pavers in the near future all asphalt roads and streets on the planet will be perfectly clean spotless and won't have any nasty puddles might sound a bit too far-fetched to be true for the technology that can turn it into reality already exists despite the fact that these pavers look like any other they're actually unique first and foremost they are made of recycled ceramic material at first fine chips are obtained through a primary treatment the new pavers are made using this material and a powerful press the pieces are then heat treated at 1,200 degrees Celsius which gives them a unique structure and amazing properties [Music] [Applause] the paper lets water through preventing puddles from forming in addition water is absorbed into the material and retained for some time which also contributes to the absence of puddles amazingly just one square meter of paver can retain up to eleven litres of water the video shows a test with wine as you can see even this liquid doesn't leave any stains on the surface since jaggus hydro pavers are designed for real-world conditions they're no different from traditional road surfaces in other ways their durability and resistance to wear and tear are optimal [Music] seat on a speed bump if you look at speed bumps on the road you will immediately notice their flaws the colors fade after a year and the constant load causes defects followed by tedious and expensive repairs there is however an alternative it's offered by the American companies seat on this is a new generation of speed bump without the defects listed above it has a unique design the elements are connected to each other by special locks and they're attached to the roadway use of rails the manufacturer claims that this makes it the most powerful and resistant speed up system on the market the advantages however do not end there installing this speed bump is a simple and quick process they reflective elements increase safety during the night the device is made of polyvinyl chloride with a lifetime guarantee against color contrast failure and also a special holo design allows installing wires inside them [Music] smart roads since 2016 smart systems that can eliminate traffic jams and congestion problems forever are being tested in the city of damn stairs in Germany special motion sensors with software developed by FL IR are installed on poles and traffic lights traditionally motion detectors with induction loops are used to detect vehicles in the road tests have shown that the smart systems from FL IR are many times more effective at spotting vehicles in addition they're much easier and faster to install there's no need for special equipment or qualified specialists the cameras installed in the right place set up and it can start working right away [Music] another interesting system under test is the c-walk which can be installed in places with high human and automated traffic the camera analyzes the number of pedestrians at a crossing and based on the information received independently adjust the duration of the red and green traffic lights the red light for example lights up immediately after the last person is passed and motorists don't have to wait heated roads every year many countries allocate a huge amount of budget to remove snow from the roads besides this is a waste of time and effort not to mention the father's snow removal equipment needs of regular maintenance to specialists from the American company warmly yours have found a solution to this problem they developed a special electrical system capable of melting snow on asphalt or concrete roads in fact this is like a heated floor not the one that you may have in your bathroom but just outdoors the design is quite simple at the stage of road construction special heating pads are laid under the top layer of asphalt they in turn are connected to the control panel once installed a heating system eats the road surface so that snow and ice turn to water the advantage is obvious the system can be switched on and off at any time so when there's no snow or when the road is closed and no traffic is expected no electricity is wasted [Music] smart crosswalk now let's talk about smart pedestrian crossings which incidentally are already being used in the Chinese city of Nanjing specialists have installed motion sensors on the crosswalk at the same time there are light sources on both sides the idea is simple when a person starts crossing the road the system detects them and illuminates the road so at nightfall to destory and feel a bit safer because now it's simply impossible not to notice them [Music] what way several years ago the French company colas group revealed an ambitious project a road made of solar panels a highway in Northwest France was chosen for its implementation workers installed 2818 photovoltaic panels on a one kilometer stretch of road according to the plan every year the road was going to produce a hundred and fifty thousand kilowatt hours of electricity and thus supply street lighting to the nearest city of two rubra [Music] the construction of the amazing Road costs 1.2 million dollars and was financed by the French government by 2021 France planned to build even more whatwe roads unfortunately good plans don't always go as expected and people tend to make mistakes just last year it became known that the solar panels had to be dismantled due to different problems firstly a bad location was chosen there are only 50 or so sunny days per year in this place secondly due to the large number of trees on the side of the road the panels were almost completely covered with leaves in autumn the polymer coating failed the trial - with cars of machinery such as tractors snapped cracks as a result instead of a hundred and fifty thousand kilowatt hours of electricity the road only generated 80,000 and although the project was a failure it's still worth of attention because solar powered roads are a promising idea we just need a more responsible approach to a simplement section after all there wasn't time when what way was called the highway of the future by different media [Music] ETI rola barrier the last invention we're gonna show you today will make roads feel safer for road users in particular for drivers who travel on dangerous rural roads with lots of steep turns the Korean company ETI limits it wants to replace conventional road barriers with roller barriers [Music] [Applause] [Music] even though the system doesn't seem remarkable at first glance it can save a lot of lives the fact is that when a car collides with a roller berry or at full speed both the vehicle and the driver are subjected to much less destructive loads first of all the rollers partially absorb the energy of the impact and secondly they transform it into motion energy redirecting the car and preventing it from drifting off the road tests have shown that the system works equally well with both cars and trucks the only difference is that at the second case it deforms the facts will severely [Applause] [Music]
