Hi friends!
Finally, I am here again! The last year of my PhD
is starting, and as it is usual lastly, I have a lot of work to do (if you are
or were a PhD student, you know what I am talking about).
This time, I want to talk to you about the
European Researchers Night in which I will participate this year in Granada! I
am going to present something related with the project I am developing as Marie
Curie fellow! In the following link you can see the information of the event: https://lanochedelosinvestigadores.fundaciondescubre.es/actividades/los-caminos-del-futuro-el-traductor-de-los-caminos-inteligentes/
I am sorry, the information is in Spanish, so,
here the translation:
The necessities for the development of the roads
for the smart cities from future are more durable roads, with lower maintenance
costs, safer, energetically self-sufficient, capable to interact and to communicate
with the user and the whole road system for the traffic control and the
vehicular transit of vehicles in a autonomous way.
In this sense, an important task is the
development of smart materials which should be capable to be adapted and to
work according to the necessities presents in the environment. Among the smart
materials are the codified bituminous materials (CBM) already patented by the
University of Granada, for the construction of the autonomous vehicles in the automotive
industry.
With the CBM materials it is pretended to use
low cost metallic materials, as the case of steel fibres obtained from the end
of life vehicle tires and steel slag, to codify the road in order to stablish a
system of communication among it and the environment.
Therefore, during the activity we will be
talking about the technology of the smart materials for roads, with
demonstrative exercises related to a “translator for pavements” and “the first prototype
of a scooter with self-guided functions” to respond to these codified smart
materials. This work is the result of the team work developed between the Department
of Physics and the Laboratory of Construction Engineering of the University of
Granada, under the 14th project of the SMARTI European Training Network,
which receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme under
the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions for research, technological development and
demonstration, under grant n.721493.
So, we are not replacing the already research work done for autonomous vehicles, we want to give a role to the roads:

So, if you are here the 27th of September,
I sincerely invite you to see our presentation!
If you would like to read more about the research we had already develop in this topic, I also invite you to read and watch the following paper:
