Intelligent Road Signalization Panels Printer Friendly Version
Imagine each road signalization panel equipped with an emitter and each vehicle equipped with a receiver. Suppose you enter a zone i.e. of 50 km/h, the car receives a signal from the panel's emitter warning the conductor to slow down, or, more aggressively, will automatically reduce the speed of the vehicle to the corresponding information received from the panel's type.
Reward: Mentioning my name after the project.

Dashless Cars Printer Friendly Version
I'd like to see a car with a laptop computer instead of an instrument console. The computer would run Linux (so it wouldn't crash) and you could open up windows on the screen for speedometer, gasoline usage rates, operating temp, oil pressure, all the usual. Since a computer, you could monitor many more things in windows which could be minimized or maximized, such as trip calculator, GPS mapping, etc. Controlled with videogame type cursor pads/buttons on the steering wheel.
Reward: Just a free one, and credit.

Green streets against soil impermeabilization Printer Friendly Version
In big cities, where there are large areas totally covered with asphalt and cement, many problems related to floods and excessive heat are found. Along with the idea of vertical gardens I propose the idea of Green Streets. This idea comes mainly to diminish flooding problems, but also to help to add green in heavily urbanized areas.
What is Green Street? Is a street with asphalt only in the area where the tires runs. In the sides (near the sidewalk or the parking area) and the place in the middle of the tires, the the places without heavy use, the proposition is to make the street with grass grid pavers. This idea cannot be used in some types of streets, but I think mainly in avenues where the cars just follow straight ahead, this could be one more solution to add green to the cities, make them more pleasant and to increase the absorbent soil area.
I had this idea looking at the streets of my neighborhood, they are made of old stone bricks and many tiny plants grow between the bricks, the street becomes green (mainly in the sides) and I thought that would be wonderful if all the streets in the city were like those, with tiny plants growing in tiny spaces...
Reward: Integration of development and nature.
