TECHNONEWS * USA - Grants support highway technologies
USA -eTrucker -5 Dec 2007: -- The Federal Highway Administration recently awarded $1.59 million in grants to five companies developing innovative technologies to improve highway quality and safety. The Highways for LIFE grants -- LIFE standing for Long-lasting, Innovative, Fast and Efficient -- will help move from prototype to testing the following technologies:
* EZ Asphalt Technology's devices that can indicate at what temperature levels asphalt can crack.
* Haskell Lemon Construction's sensors that determine when asphalt is set, saving the time it takes to compact the material.
* Pine Instrument's imaging technology that detects before surfacing whether changes in pavement mix are needed to make it more durable.
* Stay Alert Safety Services' devices that install pavement markers quickly into the roadway, reducing time and risk for workers.
* 3M's wet-reflective pavement markings, more easily seen in the rain
