Are Solar Roadways Viable Technologies for the Future?

Solar roadway refers to road surfaces that are capable of generating electricity through photovoltaic solar power cells (Aggrawal, Mehta and Tiwari 161). One of the existing proposals involves the use of panels that encompass LED signage as well as solar panels that vehicles can be driven on. It is a concept that requires the replacement of roads, highways, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots with the panels. The layers embedded with LED can be utilized for creating crosswalks and traffic warnings (Hartwig 1). Extra electricity can be used for charging electric vehicles or can be routed into the power grid. ...

Feasibility Study on Solutions to efficiently power an electrical vehicle Abstract “Feasibility Study on Solutions to Efficiently Power and Charge Electrical Vehicles” The future of electric vehicles needs to shift toward the use of solar charging stations which can increase the feasibility of electric vehicles outside of urban areas. The solar powered charging stations can revolutionize the way the world views vehicles powered by renewable energy sources. These solar stations can be placed in rural areas which can allow the drivers to store and charge their vehicle, which will minimize the prevalence of vehicles being stranded without access to ...

Abstract

A dual carriageway is proposed to be constructed in the town moving in the east-west direction. The dual carriage is intended to be eight-kilometer long looping around the northern part of the town. Cut and fill techniques are used where half of the road is cut to a maximum of six meters. Half of the road is supported by an embankment of six meters high.

SUMMARY

Global warming is a serious issue that threatens the survival of future generations. Various methods are being devised to reverse the effects of global warming such as the use of green energy. Motor vehicles running on fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which are a major cause of global warming. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to address the issue of global warming without considering emissions from the transport industry. Electric vehicles are a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles that combust fossil fuels. The vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery that drives an electromagnetic motor. ...

When roads are full of cars and buses and trucks, we get traffic congestion which is a serious issue that every country has to face. The congestion of traffic defies the smooth movement of vehicles in suburban areas and prevents a smooth flow of vehicles. In urban areas with a high growth rate traffic causes problems in their daily life. The problem of congestion cannot be easily fixed by just applying physical constructions such as bridges, motorways and the widening or improvement of existing roads. There is a requirement to create some new form of technology to assist transportation ...
