HIGHWAYS AND ROADS LIGHTING
The present invention relates to a lighting unit which is simple manufacturing, installation.
Installed on the highways floor and other roads and is suitable for most of the countries of the world.
The existing road lighting depends on the lighting installed on long poles that depend on regular electricity or solar energy, and both methods require very high costs and long, arduous and expensive work stages as well.
Therefore, we find most of the highways and other travel roads are not lighted.
In some case cars crash into the lighting poles, that means more dangerous.
The present invination discloses a lighting unit fixed on ground, between the paths and depends on Sun light, consists of hollow metal body (1) and monocrystalline solar panels (6), Electronic circuit (5), light sensor (13), humidity sensor (14), LED lights (7a and 7b) in the two sides left and right directed to the paths.
LED colored lights (10-a) and (10-b) fixed on the front and rear sides to show the frontiers of the paths in case of fog or raining or snowing.
The base (2) is under the body (1). They are fixed together by screw through holes (12).
In the bottom there is a hollow cylinder implanted into ground and it is a depot for the batteries pack (4).
The present invination is insulated as international standard (IP68).
The present invention increases safety on various types of land travel roads and suitable for most countries of the world and its cost is low and its installation is very easy because it is placed instead of the Cat's eyes and is installed in the same way as Cat's eyes insallation.
This means that land travel roads in most regions of the world will be lighted and safer.
HYBRID CRANE MAT UTILIZING VARIOUS LONGITUDINAL MEMBERS
A crane mat having first and second side beams or boards; a core structure made of pine or other softwoods, eucalyptus, solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that optionally include a filler or internal reinforcing structure; external components including an upper and/or lower layers of one or more elongated members to protect the core structure, and a plurality of joining members that attach the outer side members to the core structure. Another crane mat can be made of just the solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that each include a plurality of spaced lateral apertures passing therethrough; and joining members that include a rod that passes through the aligned lateral apertures to hold the members together in the mat. These crane mats may also include lifting elements of the types described herein.
ROAD SAFETY BARRIER ASSEMBLY
A road safety barrier assembly has a plurality of elements for re-directing a vehicle which impacts against the road safety barrier, a plurality of supports supporting the re-directing elements, sensors and/or light signaling sources. At least some of the supports each comprise a cavity and are distributed along the road safety barrier. Electronic devices distributed along the road safety barrier are each connected to a sensor and/or to a light signaling source and housed in a cavity of a support. Electric cables extend along the road safety barrier and electrically connect each of the electronic devices. Each cavity of the supports is accessible from outside in order to enable replacement or repair of an electronic device housed internally thereof.

Instrumented Traffic Cones for 5G/6G Networking
An instrumented traffic cone provides visual demarcation of a passageway for vehicles or pedestrians, as well as a boundary around a facility such as a secure facility. Each instrumented traffic cone may be equipped with a sensor and a wireless communicator. The sensor may be a camera, an infrared detector, a lidar or radar or sonar or other sensor type. The wireless communicator may be configured for 5G or 6G communication, and may enable each instrumented traffic cone to report its measurement data to peers or to a supervisor, and to receive instructions from the supervisor or other instrumented traffic cones. The instrumented traffic cones may employ an AI-developed algorithm to form a self-organized network and to assign responsibilities among the instrumented traffic cones. By providing both visual guidance and sensor data by wireless communication, the instrumented traffic cones may enable improved control of many critical applications.

Temporary Light Strip System
A modular system of light strips is configured for use on a roadway surface. The light strips are configured to withstand vehicular traffic, such as passenger cars, trucks, and even heavy equipment such as found in a construction zone. The light strips have a rigid, durable housing that protects a series of LEDs within the housing. The LEDs are preferably positioned fully within the housing, with lenses directing light from the LEDs through the sidewall of the housing and toward vehicular traffic on the roadway. The channel is filled with a protective material, such as a polymer resin, for example a polyurethane resin, that serves to protect the LEDs and power supply running within the channel. The modular system can be provided with a power source, such as solar panels, or alternatively configured for connection to a power grid. The modular system can include one or more sensors to activate the system or alternatively to control the brightness of the lights in the system and be configured with light strips that connect together or can be substituted for one another allowing them to be interchangeable and easily carried, moved, installed and disassembled.
