Safety-Promoting Street Mats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Renault Romania's Doodle Mats are Illustrated and Customizable

— May 6, 2018 — Autos
Illustrated street mats are a welcomed childhood memory for many, but Renault Romania takes the aesthetics and injects them with a purpose. The Doodle Mats is a fully customizable rug that aims to promote and teach pedestrian safety with a focus on kids.

Parents are offered a choice of three original illustration styles. Once the desired aesthetic is selected, the grown-up inputs the desired address -- of their home, for example. Renault Romania's project relies on a special algorithm that transforms the Google Maps location to the illustrated street mat equivalent. Thus, kids can play on the carpet, whilst learning about dangerous intersections and safety precautions in their own neighborhood.

The illustrated street mats are definitely a much more approachable, playful and interactive way for children to learn road safety than the usual, arguably boring lectures about it.
Trend Themes
1. Illustrated Street Mats - The use of illustrated street mats promotes a more engaging approach to teaching road safety to children.
2. Customizable Rugs - Customizable rugs provide a personalized learning experience for children when it comes to understanding road safety.
3. Interactive Learning - Interactive learning tools, such as Doodle Mats, offer a playful and engaging way for children to learn about road safety.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry can incorporate illustrated street mats and customizable rugs to promote road safety awareness from a young age.
2. Education - The education industry can utilize interactive learning tools like Doodle Mats to enhance road safety education for children.
3. Home Decor - The home decor industry can explore the concept of illustrated street mats as a creative and educational addition to children's rooms.
