THE STREET THAT LIVES



This powerful and poetic project is to solve the difficult problem of visibility, particularly at night, fractures or holes on the asphalt. Since you can not avoid the holes are formed and not being able to intervene immediately due to weather or costs, the solution is to insert an intermediate layer of a contrasting color into the asphalt to make it visible as soon as the hole is formed. In this way, noticing the hole in advance, the rider can avoid the danger safely.


This simple and poetic project Was born to resolve the visibility problems of the Street holes and breaks, especially during the night . The solution is to insert a new coloured asphalt layer between the existing ones, in this way the holes will be visible in the same time the asphalt breaks . Thanks this solution the motorcyclists can see the danger from a long distance, and they have enough time to react in a safe way.

I-Tufts


















i-Tuft is a system composed of a series of posts shock absorbers, extruded plastic, with the dual purpose of reducing the likelihood of an accident Verich (active) and to limit damage to motorcyclists in the event of a fall (passive safety). As far as active safety, i-Tuft has an LED lighting system that, in situations of risk such as speed Excessive or approaching another vehicle and alerts the user in an instinctive and immediate. "Flexibility" i-Tuft (collapsing reached the limit load can be supported by the body of a motorcyclist) is instead designed to increase the passive safety. In fact, when dropped, the rider slides against the semi-flexible poles, rather than against a fixed element. The more i-Tuft ensure absorbing a large amount of energy. The prototype was developed and built with the support of the PCR.



i- C iuffo is a road safety system composed by a series of poles (plastic pipes) with the double function to prevent accidents and reduce consequences for bikers in case of crash.

The “active part” of the system works thanks to sources of lights (led) in each pole. A stripe of orange light comes out from the top of the pole to inform bikers (and drivers) about dangerous situations.

This system allowed an instinctive and instantaneous perception of risk (for instance high speed, presence of other vehicles on the road, etc.)

In the other hand, in case of accident, the system is able to stop bickers from sliding on the street, without create strong impact on the human body. Poles are made to collapse before the energy of the impact will injure the bickers. In this way each pole can absorb the maximum energy according with body resistance.

By the fact that the kinetic energy of the bickers is, in most of the case, much more than what one pole can absorb, the system is design with multiple roles of poles, one close to the other, in order to increase the amount of energy absorbable.

The project is thought be a safety system for all the road users, with particular attention to bikers.

The prototype is realized by PCR.

SIXTH


















Sixth Sensor is a system that has the ability to detect and warn of approaching vehicles at junctions blind or in limited visibility situations.
The system is able to provide real-time information on the situation blind corner or intersection that you are about to cross road. If an oncoming vehicle is from the road intersection, a warning light accompanied by a message warning of the danger Sixth Sensor offers several advantages over current solutions for the safety of road bikes and cars when compared with mirrors and lights, give a message more clear, detailed and updated about the real situation of the intersection when dell'attraversamento, especially at night when visibility is poor and more distraction.
