Any time I have trouble falling asleep I start watching your videos. The same music and narrator put me to sleep better than anything else I’ve tried. Keep up the great work!
I’m alive thanks to these rumble strips. I was driving near midnight on a highway in Minnesota and fell asleep at the wheel. Those rumble strips did their job wonderfully and 20+ years later I can tell about it.
and its still not in India! whos citizens say their country has the fastest growing technology in the world!! I am an Indian bdw and I feel ashamed of myself not for being Indian but for the corrupt politicians who block the growth and pretend they are the best in the world!!
@@ventilate4267 nah India has roadways, a lot but not all of them are good, I was talking about these techs anyway, they are long way away from now that's for sure given they are coming here really
Hey Bob, maybe we can get rich making an iPhone game that emulates people walking down a busy street and where the best place to cross. They can walk and the little android meme will move through traffic on the screen in real time. Dang! I just realized the Frog Street game sort of does this now. Never mind.
This is for both cars and people....Well this is call "idiot proofing" Q_Q That sounds bad i know. but the world works how it is, not how you want it to be.
its a really terrible idea because it will give a false sense of security to pedestrians thinking they can cross anywhere also drivers learn routes they take commonly, if people try to cross where there isnt a crossing its morelikely the driver wont be paying as much attention as they would if they knew a crossing was approaching. e.g. choosing the long stretch of road with no crossing as a good time to change the radio etc
it not false sense of security if you have common sense to begin with. You are aware this video was just a demo when it came to cross walking? i'm sure it be applied to side walks drivers know where to stop as written in the driver handbook.
Let's drive on millions of dollars worth of LEDs/glass/plastic and act like it'll last more than a few months and/or be a suitable road surface when its wet/snowy out.
Here's one new technology, a whole bunch of technology solutions that aren't durable enough for reality, and the rest are old road construction techniques that have been in use for decades!
+Runway runner ppl have a stressful requirement for the long drives and to keep deadlines, it happens. and the when you have those straight roads that stretch on forever with no twists of turns it is actually remarkably easy to just kind of zone out and start veering off. w/e the reason, a break every 2 hours is the recommendation, but even then other forms of fatigue can still take their toll
What is really the so called ”future” we talked about in the past 50 years? Because a lot of those things from the future now exists! I’m just learning new stuff about new and modern technologies every day!
Agree. Cars should have the right of way as it is easier to stop yourself than it is for a driver of a car to stop the vehicle. Get hit by a car out of the crosswalk. Your fault.
MattMzansi I watched some type of segment on them in like 7-8th grade and in the long run they are way cheaper then normal roads and help because they can make them solar and can hold the weight of two semis or something
I wonder what happens when a heavy ass truck goes over those panels and they break. Will it result in a simple pothole like what happens on asphalt roads? Or does it start as a small pothole & quickly grow larger with every vehicle that drives over or near it until it's as big as a sinkhole? How much are repairs & how long do they take in comparison ot regular Asphalt? I think it would be cheaper & safer to have a fence along the edge of the footpath, with crossings at regular intervals!
One can also use sensitive projectors instead of display panels and a surface that only illuminate when light is hit on it else black or gray for crossings and all
pretty sure its not actually cheaper... hence why they arent used. I looked at doing something like that for a driveway, the plastic mesh cost a bucketload, then you STILL need the fill anyway... only way its cheaper is if it ACTUALLY lasted a crapload LONGER than the 'usual'
It's also giving construction an excuse to continue to mass cut and clear natural areas in order to lay more road for fucktards who like to burn fossil fuel. So not really impressive in the ways your thinking.
I'd imagine the cost savings only come in places where normal roads either don't work or don't last. Otherwise, you're adding in the cost of making large amounts of polymer webbing in place of nothing. (they'd just put down everything else minus the web)
Was surprised to see rumble strips and tactile pavement since both have been common in Canada for quite some time, rumble strips definitely help and you can here when cars go over them from a distance. Cool stuff :)
I dont get it why rumble strips are considered new, they have been in use in the US for several decades now. Though I havent really seen them in Europe.
Violent Kisses Yeah at this point I can imagine illegal migrants being hired in Europe to stand at the side of the roads and yell at infidels falling asleep at the wheel. All paid for by higher taxes naturally.
We have them, but not dug in like that, in the UK the road marking lines are painted in a way that makes the same rumble :) I would say using raised paint is probably better in the long run, as digging into the road to make them could allow water to seap into the grooves
Reece Asbury Not quite the same, the US ones make a louder sound and vibrate stronger, and as far as I noticed we only have these raised paint ones in areas where you have to slow down, or before a crosswalk.
Them rumble strips really do work. Loud as hell. But they come in real handy in the winter when roads are so snow packed you can’t see the lines. But you can tell where the center is with these.
The vibrating lines have been in Australia for decades. My friend worked for road side assistance(mobile mechanic) and 80% of his call outs were tourists that would run over them and freak out thinking that the car was about to fall apart..
The whole wide world An endless universe Yet we keep looking through The eyeglass in reverse Don't feed the people But we feed the machines Can't really feel What international means In different circles We keep holding our ground Indifferent circles We keep spinning round and round
The first is the only one who is Economic. The other ones are just to test things and are much to expensive and hightech. Keep doing things like nature. smart, simple, and low energie input.
vibrator road is not economic in long term. More accidents, means less people, means less vehicles on road, means road will last longer, means long term it is more expensive (in case anybody is wondering, this is sarcasm). On a serious note, 3D printed bridge is probably more economic, reuse of asphalt is a I believe present for quite some time, probably should not be in this video, but yeah, it is way more economic, vibrator road is not about economics, but more about saving lives, and for a really low price. Non-newtonian fluid bump, is in my opinion a nono economically. It will last less, it would not be easily fixed, and, if somebody is pissed at bumps, he just needs a good knife to "kill" the bump. Otherwise, its a great idea.
The 3D printed bridge seems unworkable to me. Extremely versatile, yes, at least once developed beyond this primitive approach. But also an extremely inefficient use of energy and resources ... I don't think it'll ever become revenue-positive or practical enough for real standalone deployments. I can imagine drone-like machines spidering or flying around bridge-like structures for (re)construction purposes, but only where raw human labour is not a cheaper approach.
That super high-tech road with all the lights would never work because of all the farm equipment and semis and tractors especially the farm tractors dragging their plows and stuff down the road tearing them all up that high tech Road wouldn't stand a chance with all the lights
Wow.. you need to get a new fucking monitor (desktop, phone, TV, whatever) if you think that sunlight would hide it. Plenty of screen tech that has full 180 degree viewpoint, and is also very visible in bright light. I'll just leave this Paris Hilton quote here: "Stop being poor".
Arbiter Of demons its futuristic. I know its nothing than just a sensor and light. But if u ask someone from 50years ago. They would say this is the different between past and present
Bluddy good ideas.......i like the reminder IN THE MIDDLE of the road. There is not to many of them in Canada ( Ontario) and they are on the edge of the right side, to remind you, that your going off the road. There .... NOT IN THE MIDDLE.
Here in *_New Zealand_* the rumble strip concept has been in use for at least a decade. It's a horrible noise if you drift to the shoulder (i.e. left side) and although I've never experienced it, I presume that some wider roads have the middle of the state highways similarly covered. We have also had the _tactile pavement_ in some cities for some time as well. A really great idea, it has contributed to more visually impaired people having some choice in their independence that previously meant, they relied on someone to provide an escort should they want to go for a walk for whatever reason.
*+ChutneyGames* Y' don't say? FFS.., everywhere does not have them but many do. I was speaking from the New Zealand experience of them. e.g. not having a middle strip. So, just how many African nations have you visited? PS: Bro? Apart from the protagonist in a _Johnny Cash_ song, how many boys named 'Sue' have you heard of?
Sue Mead I think this guy's choice of title and "titles" in general are not really accurate or almost always clickbaity including the thumbnails. He realeses the same videos on other channels in different languages, I think he runs many other channels like "brain time" I suppose its a good cash grab. But yeh I was going to write a similar comment like yours lol chr chur
It's not economically viable because LED's/glass/plastic/whatever are not viable road surfaces and are going to break down or become too slippery to be safe. It's the same reason "solar roadways" can't even build a sidewalk with embedded LEDs that doesn't break after 3 months.
and is completely pointless~ Not hard to slash that thing and let it slowly ooze out over the street. Only people that thing is for is the rich who cant be bothered with a simply bump check from the road.
draggy76 I don't know about your driving experiences, but I've found many speed bumps to be jarring even at low speed. This is a good idea in theory, and there may be practical ways to prevent vandalism such as steel or kevlar mesh-encapsulated fluid reservoirs or self-healing fluid that hardens when exposed to oxygen.
Think of all the shit we could have been getting done if natural selection was allowed to play out properly without humans getting in the way.... Think of all the wasted brain power and time / energy / materials wasted. Sickening.
well, bad trolling. if you want to level up you need to improve your trolling. currently your trolling level is similar to you calling yourself, ugly face, but you are actually awesome. But yes, you cannot improve without positive feedback. That is why I am here. Your trolling is almost like a compliment it is so bad. Like a negative troll is a compliment.
As far as "crossing" safety, I always thought (for years) that holographic technology would be easier to implement than to have the road emit the light everywhere because of practicality and cost; then motion technology could sense at certain areas a person crossing a designated area and activate a holographic walkway and even light barrier with the person still visible; then go off when the person was safely across the road. Holographics would work better in rain and on snow covered roads as well because the barrier could be (3) dimensional (like a see thru light curtain) instead of only (2) dimensional.
Liquid speed bumps would cost alot, and if they where to burst or pop or leak for any reason at any given time it would take up time and money to replace just a speed bump. Overall its a good concept but i highly doubt people would install them.
Who cares what fluid these contain, even water would be "softer" than concrete for low-speed vehicles (and water is pretty cheap to install, maintain, or clean up, lol). But everyone hates speedbumps. And low-tech concrete speedbumps are much more resistant to spiteful/casual/bored vandalism. So these things are a brilliant idea, in theory. But I think they'll only be useful in niche applications, in practice.
Well these can't contain water, cause water doesn't work that way with this speed bump, the speed bump using a fluid that gets hard if its hit really fast. This would be a mess and a pain to clean up and replace.
I don't think so. It grants jobs from government so money circulates and helps some lower income folks that's willing, and instead of repairing the broken parts they can make it so it's replaceable instead which makes fixing it so much easier cheaper and they can use recycled materials so those stuff doesn't stay forever in some dump site.
Great idea! Let's get the population of commoners on earth feeling safe and secure while under constant 24 hour surveillance of their every move, which we'll convince them is "for their own good". Awesome!
I'm all for supporting content creators via AD revenue. Which is why I've never used AD blocker... However... having 5 ADs in ONE video is greedy. We should start boycotting youtube videos with more than 2 ADs in them...
I've used ad blocker for a long while now... I didn't mind it when they were 10 to 15 seconds long, could be skipped and only every 3 videos or so, but when it became an ad for every video and some where several minutes long, with no ability to skip I had enough and use ad blocker ad on for my browser now. I mean I don't mind providing support for content creators, but there has to be some balance. I come to You Tube for content, not ads.
Fuck em. I use it. Your time is a hell of a lot more valuable that you realize. If they don't like it, get a sponsor or get a different job. If I like a creator, I'll support their patreon.
In Sabah or Malaysia, road tech is so advanced, they are called potholes, to make drivers slows down, decreasing accidents (maybe), but will damage ur car without a doubt. A very high speed bumps are everywhere
4:01 is a STUPID idea. I have a 13 year old girl and would take me years to walk anywhere... No dad i have to do the red light dance in the booth and snapchat it :-D
We've had the "tactile pavement" stuff in the UK for at least 20 years. Not sure about the rumble strips though. They probably didn't roll it out here because people would say there's already enough pot-holes as it is.
James Bond Mayeb you're someone in a rush, and you're already mad for some reason then ur boi red light stops you, then it dances, I'd think someone might find that as a taunt.
in the states we just use... geo-grid which is cheaper and does the same thing and is easier to lay out. rumble strips have been around for a while all the way back to the 1960s on interstates, but because of physical barriers not on the center line. I seen guys do it with an iron rake. in the states we already recycle asphalt cheaply, as filler or as rock base for other structures, which is cheaper and less complicated.
@@slayer45670 wtf? What does the President have to do with this? Gtfo of here with your nonsense. You're just trying to get attention and spread biased hate that is entirely unjustified...
Der Anfuhrer very true, but it’s kinda hypocritical when other countries leaders can be just as bad as trump in many ways. But in the era of trump, no one can do wrong as long as they laugh at the USA
I always just watch, then if it seems interesting i put speed nack to normal instead of 2x, then maybe turn on the sound, but it must be a real attention grabber for me to actually listen
So the led road concept is pretty much allowing ppl to jump the road like it's nobody's Bussiness and blame the driver when they hit them ? Ya ok. It literally beats the entire logic of having roads. Driving a car is more complicated than walking. The purpose of the road is to drive on it and pedestrians should follow the rules . Why should pedestrians be allowed to do whatever they want and the drivers to start paying 100 times more attention ?
DRONE ROAD REPAIR ? DO WE REALLY NEED TO TAKE A WHOLE DAY TO PATCH ONE SMALL HOLE ? L.O.L. OTHER THAN THAT, NICE VIDEO BUT COULD HAVE USED JUST A FEW MORE ADS.
Latest technologies.... I'm 25 and I don't even remember a time when rumble strips weren't in use. I'd just figured they'd been on all highways for decades before I was alive.
My Best Road Surface Made is: Asphalt concrete layer: 254.2 Inches Unbound (granular) base: 289.6 Inches Unbound subbase: 813.4 Inches Thickness: 1,357.2 millimetres Total Equivalent thickness or GBE: 2,714.4 millimetres
Brilliant ! :-) So many wonderful good people working to make a safer and healthier world... it helps make up for all the heroin dealers selling toxic vapes and drugs at school playgrounds to Your children.
I think the rumble strip is such a simple way to save so many lives. Think about the people who wake up automatically, from their phone vibrating, this rumble strip road would make them wake up too because of that.
And all thats really needed to help strengthen roads is to mix rubber chunks from old tires with the asphalt and then make the asphalt about 2 to 3 inches thicker.
The Geo Web is a good idea, faster road construction, thus reduced costs, in combination with longer road life. The smart crossing is useless, it is smarter and cheaper to just install a barrier between the road and the sidewalk, e.g. a fence. The rumble strips are a great idea, they should be on all highways in all countries. The dancing traffic light is pointless. The tactile pavement makes stations much safer, I like it. The intelligent speed bumps don't seem like that good of an idea, just like speed bumps in general. Drones that repair roads have a lot of potential, I wonder where this is going to go, sounds promising. 3D-printed bridges have great potential, due to the nature of 3D printing. I like the idea of recycling road pavements. Those are my thoughts.
What's truly mind blowing is that we have the know how to make roads that can last for generations but opt out for "cheap economically eco friendly" solutions... Cant blame the industry though, producing a product that wouldn't need repairs for generations isn't good for business.
