The Dutch drew attention to such waste material, which in huge quantities it’s just now being burned like lignin – polymer compound of natural origin (woody plant cells, algae), which has strength, commensurate with the best brands of concrete.
Researchers want to test new paving technology this year already. In their opinion, lignin is a cleaner product, even during its production will not be released into the atmosphere as much harmful substances, as in oil refining. In addition, it will be more durable and long-lasting coverage. And lignin itself is forever renewable product. Thanks to this technology, you can already the coming years to reduce the use of bitumen by at least two times, which will significantly improve the planet, not to mention all other of the above advantages of the new road material.

But Ford invented intelligent machine speed limiter. First, it will be set to S-Max models. This smart system itself reads restrictive signs set along the track and automatically starts slow down in accordance with the requirement of one or another sign.
At the same time, the car does not use the brakes, but smoothly (up to the specified limit on the road sign) translates the movement to the desired speed by adjusting the fuel supply and torque engine. Of course, in case of emergency, the driver can intervene in this process by adding gas, but this, according to the authors project will lead only to a temporary effect. And then the system is all will continue his intellectual adjustment work car speed in strict accordance with the requirements road signs.
We will clarify, both the Dutch and the Americans plan to promote their Unique finds in the road industry worldwide. By the way Spanish scientists have learned to identify aggressive drivers.
