High visibility is claimed for 1540 Avery Dennison's OmniCube reflective sheeting, which offers higher reflectivity for road signage. The new full-cube sheeting is said to be easier for drivers to see and suits duties in an array of safety applications.

Featuring intelligent cube technology this product makes it easier for drivers of trucks, SUV's, minivans, vehicles or motorcycles to see and read traffic signs because more light is reflected back from the vehicle headlights. The OmniCube full-cube prisms are designed to be 100% efficient and return approximately 60% of available light back to the driver.

On the one hand, it looks good. The oft-stated advantage of moveable barriers is that the systems are cheaper to install than adding a lane or two to a highway or bridge. Directional changes to lanes can boost volume on a road without disrupting tra

    Peter Harrop, chairman of independent research and consultancy IDTechEx, considers arguments in favour of solar roads. Nowadays a major trend is the move to off-grid clean energy created by “energy harvesting” to produce electricity where it is needed. This is more controllable and increasingly at lower cost than grid power or diesel gensets, cleaner and often less subject to interruption. It is taking new forms as revealed in the IDTechEx Research report, “High Power Energy Harvesting 2016-2026”.
