Inspiration

Borders already use a form of flex lane technology to assist in the flow of cars and trucks coming and going.

What it does

The system controls LED's in the ground that turn on/off depending on traffic density and blockages in the road to maximize lanes and use up space that oncoming isn't. When traffic is high on one side of the road and light on the other, the led paint change to direct traffic on the busy side to the new open lane and block it off from the less busy side that doesn't need the lane.

How we built it

We looked at similar systems that work in real life and innovated the idea to curate and be more practical and beneficial in more ways than one with no room for negatives

Challenges we ran into

Through iteration, we came across issues regarding costs and feasibility which required further research into similar cases in the real world

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to take a existing solution and make it better via new technology and creativity

What we learned

We have learned extensively about combining different technologies and having them work together to create something new.

What's next for Project Flare

This idea can be expanded endlessly on any road and it purely benefits flow. The more roads this is implemented on the better as it can communicate with each other to mathematically increase the amount of cars passing and ensuring that there is always cars using a lane.
