Smart Pavement (e-Pavement) | TalTech

A smart pavement is a multi-purpose pavement that generates electricity from sunlight, into which it is possible to integrate various electronic components: processors, sensors, communication solutions and LED elements. In the future, roads will communicate with all users (pedestrians, cyclist, cars, etc.) and vice versa. Since 2017, our lab member associate prof. Arvo Mere has had a key role in developing, preparing and installing the modules. The first project to develop and test smart pavement in Estonia involved Road Administration (Maanteeamet) and the Dept. of Materials and Environmental Technology in TalTech leading to a spin-off company called e-Pavement. In 2019, smart pavement modules were upgraded with integrated sensors within the “Smart road covering” project led by prof. Malle Krunks. In 2020, e-Pavement has led the installation of smart pavement modules on various locations near Tallinn University of Technology and the modules are currently being installed on Pirita road near Tallinna Lauluväljak (Tallinn Song Festival Grounds).
