and data delivery. they predict that the solar roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same omoney that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the solar roadways.each solar road panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor（微处理器） that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overheadthe inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problemsthe top of the solar road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions（抓地力） they needaccording to the inventors, the solar roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest slop, or at any business that has paved solar road panels in their parking lotsthe inventors say their solar roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runwaysthe federal highway administration has given brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and brusaw hopes to buil
