Starpath: Smart pavement captures daylight and illuminates at night

It can be crucial in solving two problems of cities around the world: street lighting and energy consumption.

Starpath is the name of this innovative product that absorbs the energy of ultraviolet rays from a certain region during the day and then releases them at night. Taking a night walk in this way is undoubtedly much more pleasant and safer.

The product is the brainchild of British company pro-teq and is already being used on a small rink in Cambridge, UK, at Christ’s Pieces Park. The amount of light emitted by Starpath depends on the intensity and duration of sun exposure where it is installed. Glow-in-the-dark, this innovation can be used on any pavement surface.

In addition to the energy savings and increased visibility it offers, the Starpath is non-slip and waterproof, which also improves the issue of safety by reducing the human and financial costs of a public accident.

Below is a video with the explanation of the Pro-Teq managers about their motivations for the creation of the Starpath.
