The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $100,000 to Idaho-based Solar Roadways to develop a prototype solar road panel. The panels, which will replace asphalt surfaces on roads and parking lots, will collect enough solar energy to power local homes and businesses.  Embedded LEDs would display road markings and dynamic messages. Link to full story in Traffic Technology Today.
