Perpetual pavement is flexible and durable pavement that does not require extensive
structural rehabilitation or reconstruction and can be built to last more than 50 years.
Even when subjected to extremely high traffic flows for extended periods, this
pavement's structural stability remains unaffected. This pavement is an excellent
alternative to Smart Roads because it can give the Philippines' roads the strength they
need without taking up much time to maintain or install. They are even better for the
environment because they will not need to be recycled for a very long time because
of how long they last.
The Road Zipper System is a movable barrier technology for managed lanes and
construction applications. Movable barriers are used in the construction of "Safe,
Dynamic Highways" that offer real-time road configuration while maintaining positive
barrier protection between lanes. Road Zipper is an excellent alternative to Smart
Roads because it reduces traffic and increases the capacity of congested roads with
limited space and no need for new lanes. Building more sustainable infrastructures
that benefit everyone helps to maximize resources, improve safety, and increase
traffic throughput.
Roads that Honk. This system uses smart poles that sound horns to alert vehicles on
both sides. This system uses poles to detect vehicle speeds and then communicate
with one another to warn approaching vehicles. The frequency shift of the reflected
wave is then measured after they have transmitted electromagnetic waves. Through
this, the poles use a radar sensor to determine the speed of the approaching vehicles.
It is a great substitute for smart roads because it serves the same objective, which is
to directly respond to speeding drivers in order to slow them down and allow them
to navigate safely.
