A helipad includes an LED matrix built directly into the landing surface. LEDs within the matrix can be illuminated in controlled patterns to create visible objects to convey information to the pilot of an aircraft landing at the helipad and other personnel. The LEDs can be RGB color-change LEDs that are controlled to output selected colors, and can be activated with variable intensity. One of the patterns can be an arrow aligned with the wind direction as determined by an adjacent windsock, and another pattern can be determined by wind velocity as determined by an adjacent anemometer.

Disclosed is a road sign plate comprising: a base plate (2); a series of LEDs (4) disposed on said base plate; and power-supply means connected to said series of LEDs. In particular, the road sign plate comprises: a first resin layer (1) that covers at least the base plate (2); and a second resin layer (7) disposed on said first resin layer, said second resin layer (7) being of a translucent material. The road sign plate is a low cost plate, with high electro-mechanical strength and improved translucency properties.

A one piece water permeable paver for forming a surface suitable for traffic having outer flex joint connection cells connected to connectors, outer three connection cells connected to one of the outer flex joint connection cells, outer two connection cells connected to two outer three connection cells, a plurality of inner single flex joint connection cells connected to one of the connectors, and an inner dual flex joint connection cell engaging two connectors, inner four connection cells connected to a pair of outer three connection cells and a pair of inner single flex joint connection cells. Fastening slots are formed partially through outer surfaces of cells that form two sides of the paver. Locking tabs extend from outer surfaces of cells forming two sides of the paver opposite the sides with the locking tabs, enabling a first paver to securely interlock to an adjacent paver.

A solar paving module (200) is described. The module (200) comprises: a frame (234); a power generating element (216) comprising at least one photovoltaic element (216) supported in the frame (234); a light transmitting surface screen (218) covering the electrical power generating element (216) and having a planar upper surface; and an electrical connector connected electrically to the power generating element (216). The solar paving module (200) comprises a heat sink (260) in thermal connectivity with the power generating element (216), the heat sink comprising a heat sink plate (262) and one or more ground plates (280) connected to the heat sink plate (262) and forming a heat sink anchor.

A pedestal paver has a plurality of apertures. There are a plurality of waveguide inserts wherein there is one waveguide insert in one apertures. The waveguide inserts are formed from a transparent or translucent material to permit light generated from a light source disposed vertically below the pedestal paver to shine upwardly through the waveguide insert. The waveguide inserts have a configuration that is complementary to the portion of the body of the pedestal paver that defines the aperture. The pedestal paver is supported by the pedestal at a corner of the paver.
