Abstract

One way of the utilizing solar
energy is to use pv panel which generates electricity energy as expose to the
solar radiation on it. Pv panels are utilized[1]
in many areas such as lighting and stand-alone systems, the grid connected
systems, pv power plants, satellite, space, communications..etc. Especially in
today's green areas and parks, they are used for lighting and irrigation. The
usage of pv panels on the roads is a different usage aim of renewable energy
sources. Some of them in highways are as follows: the lighting on motorways,
traffic signaling, routing sheets, bridges and viaducts lighting, the needed
energy of petrol stations, the charger unit of hybrid vehicles, and the
determination of car numbers on the road. An electronic circuit design can be
placed onto the highways. With the help of electronic sensors in electronics
circuit placed on the road is to aim for reducing traffic accidents. It was
particularly sharp bend and the angle where very tight, sending a place of
warning signal in the lane against the emergence or ramp into the corner with
the help of designing electronic circuits on the road if you have a vehicle
coming in the opposite direction to help the driver. As a result, it prevents
damage to that or give incorrect overtaking a vehicle enters the opposite
direction.
