The SRPs shear test results could not be compared directly to published ASTM standards due to the unique nature and/or geometry of the SRPs. Due to the unique nature of the SRPs and the materials used to manufacture them, no direct comparison to concrete, asphalt, or other plastic materials can be made Then what's the point? Put the solar panels on your roof, at a more optimal angle, away from grit, dirt and mud. You get way more electricity out of it and they are much cheaper. God dammit, this research is from 2020! Why is the solar roadways bandwaggon still rolling? Seriously asphalt roads are proven and tested technology, no compound elements that also incorporate solar panels and electrical connections can compete with this matured technology. Asphalt roads if done correctly last for decades! Exactly the same with normal solar panels, they are a proven mature technology if you put them somewhere with unobstructed view to the sky at an optimal angle, you may have to give them a quick cleanup every few years depending on your climate. Why combine both things and create something that does boths jobs terribly????!!! We have lots of unused roof space everywhere. Highways in the US mostly have this wide strip between the roads, where you can put up solar panels if you really want solar roads so badly, though why would you want to put them there instead near industry and housing, I don't know. Charging electric cars with induction? Another useless and terribly inefficient technology. It is just jaw dropping how people buy into these stupid ideas. I honestly believe it's a scam, these founders and engineers know it's not feasable but it's one way to get dumb money and publish papers. Yeah, MDPI is an open access publisher. Anyone can send in their low quality work there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Controversies
