Abstract:The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) partnered with the Pittsburg State University School of Construction to assess the installation of solar pavement lights at two intersections in southeast Kansas. Solar pavement lights have been used in several places throughout the United States but have not had favorable results; either they did not stand up to traffic/snow plows or their renewable solar power gave out in 2 to 3 years and went dark. Research as to why these problems existed had not been adequately analyzed. KDOT saw three major concerns with using solar pavement markers: cost, proper installation, and longevity. We hoped to address these concerns with this research project.
