There are about 1bn vehicles on the road today, and there could be as many as 4bn by 2050. As a global operator of toll roads, this is great news for our business. But at the same time, we understand the real challenges that this traffic growth presents if things don’t change: gridlock, climate change and air pollution. Thanks to advances in technology and smart engineering, new solutions are emerging that can make roads cleaner and more efficient. To date, hert e has been a strong focus on innovations in vehicle technologies. Everywhere I look, there is a new story about the progress that is being made in the automotive industry. Connected, autonomous vehicles are real, and have the potential to change the game for the sector. Electric vehicles are beginning to go mainstream. But roads are the critical and universal platform on which all these technologies need to operate. Unless innovation in road infrastructure keeps pace with the advances in vehicle technologies, traffic growth will remain a huge problem and the true potential of these technologies will not be realised. At Abertis we believe the key to unlocking progress lies at the intersection of advances in technology and innovation in road infrastructure. That is why we commissioned this report, reaching out to experts across sectors and geographies to develop the most comprehensive overview of the technologies and innovations coming through and of what is needed to accelerate their adoption. What we see are numerous ways in which infrastructure is becoming more intelligent, how data is being used to radically transform traffic management and drive new forms of mobility, and how rapid changes in road surface technologies are altering the way we think about roads as assets. What’s most striking is how dependent the future of mobility truly is on collaboration. We know that a world where traffic growth is environmentally, ocialls y and economically viable can only be created by working partnerships between governments and innovators, large and small. And as demands on public finances continue to grow, en w ways to finance the innovations in infrastructure required to support the adoption of these new technologies must be explored. Road infrastructure is the platform for the future of mobility, and Road Tech is at the heart of creating smarter, cleaner and safer roads. 7 Road Tech Addressing the challenges of traffic growth EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A transformation in transportation is under way, at a pace much faster than many anticipated. The confluence of trends in automotive technology, big data and the sharing economy is changing the way people approach travel. Yet in conjunction with the rapid pace of population growth, these advances will contribute to an increase in traffic that is unsustainable. This report explores these technological innovations in road transport infrastructure, to highlight their role in alleviating the challenges of growing traffic. The

He is also a senior fellow and Coordinator MIRS. III Abstract Sustainability is critical in current engineering designs, especially in the area of pavement engineering, and is founded on having only limited resources while attempting to maximize designs for operation. To this end, developing infrastructure that can meet multiple needs is highly beneficial to society’s will to live at our current standard of living. One such task is the proposition to build roads that have been integrated with photovoltaic cells in order to supply a high performance driving surface while generating renewable electricity. This electricity could then be used by local infrastructure, adjacent buildings, or sold to the electrical grid. In order law to do this there are many challenges that necessitate to be overcome, as these roads cannot be built from traditional road surface materials, and a thorough analysis of many design aspects needs to be seen.

  • Next-Generation Solar Power Dutch Technology for the Solar Energy Revolution Next-Generation High-Tech Excellence
    Next-generation solar power Dutch technology for the solar energy revolution Next-generation high-tech excellence Harnessing the potential of solar energy calls for creativity and innovative strength. The Dutch solar sector has been enabling breakthrough innovations for decades, thanks in part to close collaboration with world-class research institutes and by fostering the next generation of high-tech talent. For example, Dutch student teams have won a record ten titles in the World Solar Challenge, a biennial solar-powered car race in Australia, with students from Delft University of Technology claiming the title seven out of nine times. 2 Solar Energy Guide 3 Index The sunny side of the Netherlands 6 Breeding ground of PV technology 10 Integrating solar into our environment 16 Solar in the built environment 18 Solar landscapes 20 Solar infrastructure 22 Floating solar 24 Five benefits of doing business with the Dutch 26 Dutch solar expertise in brief 28 Company profiles 30 4 Solar Energy Guide The Netherlands, a true solar country If there’s one thing the Dutch are remarkably good at, it’s making the most of their natural circumstances. That explains how a country with a relatively modest amount of sunshine has built a global reputation as a leading innovator in solar energy. For decades, Dutch companies and research institutes have been among the international leaders in the worldwide solar PV sector. Not only with high-level fundamental research, but also with converting this research into practical applications. Both by designing and refining industrial production processes, and by developing and commercialising innovative solutions that enable the integration of solar PV into a product or environment with another function.

  • The First Solar Roadway Opened in Amsterdam
    THE FIRST SOLAR ROADWAY OPENED IN AMSTERDAM By Ivan Lawrence White On November 12th 2014, the first solar roadway opened in Amsterdam – a 70 meter stretch of bike path that connects the Amsterdam suburbs of Krommenie and Wormerveer and which generates solar power from rugged, textured glass-covered photovoltaic cells. This project, built by SolaRoad is at an initial proof-of-concept demonstration that solar energy can be applied as solution for future roads connecting to it all electric systems and services to ensure night and day mobility as well as other grid services. In particular the energy produced from the road can be hooked up to the grid and will be used to power streetlights, stoplights, businesses and homes. The road, which is named by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) as SolaRoad, is made up of rows of crystalline silicon solar cells, which were embedded into the concrete of the path and covered with a translucent layer of tempered glass. Each SolaRoad panel is comprised of a 1.4 to 2.3 meter layer cake composed of a layer of concrete, a layer of a centimetre of silicon solar cells and then a final layer of strengthened glass. It is estimated that the potential of electricity generation is of 54 kWh per square yard. The new solar road, which costs three thousand € meter, was created as the first step in a project that the local government hopes will see the path being extended to 100 metres by 2016. Actually, SolaRoad is not the first project aimed at turning roads and pathways into energy-harvesting surfaces.
