Smart highways are the idea of ​​Dutch designer and inventor Daan Roosegaarde in partnership with Heleen Herbert of Heijmans Infrastructure.

Awarded the ' Best Future Concept' in the Netherlands, the idea will be implemented in the country in mid-2013, according to NBC News.

The team has drawn up a scenario of safe and interactive roads for both drivers and management units.

Instead of swirling into car designs, experts discovered it was time to completely renovate the road system, such as the dark lane in the dark, to eliminate the possibility of using streetlights.

Leaving the roads 'glowing' at night, they thought of using a special form of powder that could absorb sunlight in the daytime and transform into energy at night. Each time 'charging' is enough energy for 10 hours.

Smart highway paint can also help interact with drivers, such as providing weather information by displaying images on the road.
