LuminoKrom® paint: a sustainable alternative for smart roads

Piste cyclable Herblay

 

An article in Science et Vie highlights the use of LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint in Herblay-sur-Seine, in the Val-d'Oise region of France, where it replaces traditional streetlights to make a soft lane safer. This pilot project aims to improve night-time visibility of bicycle and pedestrian paths without the use of electricity. Thanks to its ability to absorb daylight and restore it at night, LuminoKrom® offers an innovative, environmentally-friendly solution for securing soft mobility in poorly lit areas.

By reducing the energy consumed by street lighting, this technology represents an ecological asset for local authorities. If the project is successful, it could be deployed on other urban infrastructures in France. LuminoKrom® is thus demonstrating its potential to transform urban planning and enhance user safety, while meeting today's energy challenges.
