Solar power highlights Sernis' new road studs

SR-i19 and SR-i25 developed for road delineation, including bends and crosswalks

SR-i19 solar stud: visible up to 1km away

Sernis has launched two solar road studs: SR-i19 and SR-i25.

They use microcontroller technology, and only rise 9mm and 10mm respectively from the road surface: the company says they are "ideal for road delineation, bends/curves, and crosswalks among other applications".

They have constant brightness during all functioning periods and can be seen up to 1km away.

SR-i19 has a high light output due to its 3 LEDs for each side, with an aluminum base giving it strong mechanical resistance.

SR-i25 has a stainless-steel cap that makes it ready for snowploughs, while built-in GPS technology allows flashing synchronisation. It is also available in aluminum.

Sernis highlights its high-performance photovoltaic solar module, with silicone-free junction sealing technology allowing better, faster, and cleaner maintenance.

The technology applied to both models "increases the performance of solar power studs with energy storage by battery or capacitors and protects the road stud against the deep discharge of the batteries/capacitors", Sernis insists. 

'Sleep' mode prevents discharge during storage or transport, and the manufacturer points to their ease of installation and the fact that the studs require "virtually no maintenance".

    UK company, Astucia, part of the Clearview Traffic Group, and Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald has installed over 4,000 Astucia SolarLite road studs on the M20 junctions 8 to 9 between Ashford and Maidstone, on behalf of the UK Highways Agency. This section of the motorway lacks street lighting increasing the potential risk for night time accidents. The project involved upgrading the existing road markings and road studs to address the high number of collisions recorded in the dark and wet conditions. The exis

Well-established now in at least three European countries, Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) on motorways is exciting growing interest in the US. A November 2010 Report to Congress by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on the Efficient Use of Highway Capacity, notes the role of HSR in the European-style Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies now being recommended for implementation in the US where, until recently, they were virtually unknown.
