Project 4.6 (2019)
Background
This project seeks to investigate how emerging smart pavement technology will be used and understood by people. The interpretation graphically and physically of the pavement environment, it is speculated, can lead to more effective and safer environments for pedestrians and transport users. A raft of emerging issues such as increased automation, active transport, population density, an elderly population and accessibility all can be mitigated by a thoughtful inventive approach to pavements and roadways. This research seeks to leverage a design methodology to investigate and speculate upon potential futures for smart pavements. It will also consider the incorporation of utilities in pavement environment.
Project Objectives
1. To design and develop a conceptual design response to the interaction of humans, utilities and smart pavement technology
2. To capture a design methodology to address emerging smart pavement technology.
