Innovation Questions

Questions How can we
  • How might we develop locally sourced, innovative materials for road markings that withstand high temperatures (+50°C) and last at least 5 years?
  • How might we integrate smart paint technologies or photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) materials that enhance night visibility without external electricity?
"What if" questions
  • ماذا لو استبدلنا الدهانات التقليدية بشرائح بلاستيكية حرارية أو مواد مركبة قابلة لإعادة التدوير يمكن تثبيتها بسرعة في أقل من ساعة دون إغلاق الطريق؟
  • ماذا لو استخدمنا مستشعرات مدمجة في العلامات الأرضية لجمع بيانات التآكل والاحتكاك وإرسال تنبيهات صيانة استباقية قبل تدهور العلامة؟
