“We are excited to bring this kind of innovation and technology to the Texas A&M campus,” said Associate Vice President Peter Lange, Transportation Services. “We are confident the protected intersection will provide an added level of safety for bicyclists and drivers traveling in this area on campus.”
We are excited to bring this kind of innovation and technology to the Texas A&M campus.
This most recent project is another step taken by the university to ensure the safety of bicyclists on campus. In the fall of 2015, Texas A&M gained recognition for its overall effort to create a more bike-friendly environment (community) by garnering the prestigious Bike Friendly University designation.
“This is an excellent example of opportunities for real-world, high-impact learning that we provide to our students,” said M. Katherine Banks, vice chancellor and dean of Texas A&M Engineering. “This innovative transportation approach is being deployed for the first time in the United States and our students will play a critical role in the implementation.”
The solar pavement markings are one of the first implementations under the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s Campus Transportation Technology Initiative, which explores new technologies to advance campus transportation operations and future planning priorities. By partnering with companies to bring technologies and innovation to the forefront of the campus transportation ecosystem, Texas A&M and TTI desire to provide transportation solutions to enhance the quality of life for everyone on campus. The goals of this initiative include greater mobility, improved safety, enhanced connectivity and more efficient services.
