Abstract

This paper describes about using solar energy to create intelligent highways. Smart highway and smart road are terms for a number of different proposals to incorporate technologies into roads for better future. Solar median strip uses solar panels, photovoltaic effect, LEDs and microprocessor chips with circuitry boards. Solar panels are arranged on median strip of the road. Energy from these solar panels is used to operate the street lights, water pump for nearby farms and additional energy can be stored and utilized by nearby communities by using an inverter. Solar median strip will pay for itself through generation of electricity. The implementation of this technology will create the clean energy boom. By this way we can use solar energy efficiently. We can also create smart roads for better future without causing damage to environment by using renewable source.
