We believe that technology will bring significant technological innovations in the automotive sector, and that electric drive, inter device vehicle systems, and autopilot technology may be the focus of recent technology and automotive manufacturers. But have you ever thought that the relationship between the car and the road is like "boat and water", only the two complement each other, in order to achieve a complete intelligent driving experience?. Here's a look at all the new road technologies. Maybe they'll come to us soon.‘
1. luminous road surface
The Roosegarde studio in Holland has developed a new technology that can turn highway surfaces into a huge screen for conveying information". In simple terms, the technique is based on a special coating that absorbs solar energy and is sensitive to changes in temperature. This road surface has been applied to a number of highways in Holland, the day to absorb solar energy, night can shine, instead of street lighting for road lighting. Not only that, but if you feel the temperature changes, such as snow, it can also show beautiful snowflakes on the road, just like a picture.
2. wireless induction type road charging station
After Tesla, the electric car has become a new fashion, including BMW, Nissan, Volkswagen and Renault and other manufacturers, are committed to the introduction of new electric vehicles. However, since electric vehicles can only use lithium batteries in a short time, it is necessary to charge at any time, but charging piles with complex cables are obviously difficult to popularize on all roads. Therefore, wireless induction charging has become the next focus of research and development.
At present, BMW and Daimler, Qualcomm and American Telecom are developing wireless charging stations for electric vehicles, through the installation of electromagnetic charging coils on roads and cars to achieve wireless inductive charging. This form is not only more space saving, charging operation is also more simple, it can be described as one of the trends of road design in the future.
3. road built with solar panels
The asphalt road has been around for too long, and it's time to make some changes. At present, a public raising project is on the Kickstarter and Indiegogo platform for fund-raising, the content is to build solar based road technology. The technology allows the integration of solar panels in the road to collect solar energy and power the city's public facilities, businesses and even homes. Better still, the road is integrated with light-emitting diodes that can be used for lighting, and can emit heat, and do not need to snow during the snow. It is reported that this technology has begun testing in some cities and towns in the United States, is expected to be in actual use in 2016.
4. intelligent Expressway
A large number of European car manufacturers have joined the Car 2 Car alliance, which aims to develop wireless connectivity between cars. In addition to the fact that cars can share information over wireless networks, in fact, there is no lack of road networks as hubs. Profits, the car broke down a freeway heretics, the onboard computer will immediately alert the road network, the network will send the GPS position of the vehicle to other vehicles, to achieve early warning and appropriate route guidance. At present, some European roads have been equipped with the road Internet, which experts believe is the first step in automatic driving.’
