The human eye experiences a brief moment of vertigo when it undergoes strong changes in light and darkness. And in mountainous areas, the construction of highways needs to be solved by digging tunnels. During the day, the inside of the tunnel is dark and the tunnel entrance is bright. At night, the in terior of the tunnel is illuminated and the outside world is dim. Vehicle drivers passing through the tunnel at high speeds get dizzy, and many traffic accidents occur as a result. The project builds modular solar panels on wooden frames in the tunnel entry/exit vaults, shading the sunlight by solar panels during the day and illuminating the tunnel at night by the electricity stored during the day, creating a transition zone between light and darkness at the tunnel entrance, giving the human body sufficient time to adapt to the change in light. Reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
