In the past on this blog we have explored ideas for environmentally-friendly technologies that can be employed to make parking more eco-friendly.
We’ve witnessed solar car parking whereby solar panels can generate sufficient electricity to charge electric vehicles, and also solar eco parking, however, in Holland they’re taking these eco ideas to a whole new level with the introduction of a glow-in-the-dark road.
The “Smart Highway" uses hi-tech photoluminescent paint that ‘charges up’ during the day and ‘switches on’ at night, providing up to 10 hours of glow.
The super high-tech road can even warn drivers of icy conditions.
The “Smart Highway” is due to open in the middle of 2013 in the Brabant province.
The Telegraph has produced a video demonstrating some of the possible technologies which could be used on the road – see below:
