Does anyone know how to go about "selling" to a government

Are you in America? Thinking of revamping the traffic system? Going against construction and material lobbies that have a vested interest in the status quo? Good luck.

Nothin' personal, kid

So thats why no one has done this yet?
Well shit, I never really considered that possibility...

As far as I can tell, this product won't undermine any construction profits. I mean, if anything it will be good for construction companies because they can get paid to install it.
Unless the system works so good that the congested freeways that were scheduled to get expensive upgrades and lane widening no longer need it. Hmm. On second thought, you might be right about this.
I'll look into the whole construction lobby thing. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Bribes. Nepotism. Or favours to people that are greater than bribes could cover.

There's probably an extremely formal process that you need lawyers and experience for. Maybe a marketing agency could help you? Look up contract law and contact a lawyer?

Go to a transportation engineering firm and get consultation from them. With proper legal documents ensuring they can't steal your idea. Then create a model with your idea.

The government isn't going to sit down at some meeting if you have nothing to show

If you own the patents and the only way to implement the idea then I think you're best bet is to go to the party in opposition in government -- you want your service to become the centerpiece on a debate about policy.

That's difficult, you'd need to team up with a PR/Lobby firm. You'd need to get your idea into the mouths of prominent journalists. You'd need to pony up a lot of cash... I'm thinking anywhere from 50-200k to get it through depending on where and what resistance you'd have to fight. The trick is that you're not only getting the Lobby firm to butter up the politicians, you're also selling the idea to the public through the PR campaign.

I think you want to focus on a specific town or city, almost like a pilot program. Far more manageable.

That also allows you to circumnavigate >>1590305 because even though politicians are scared of unions, when push comes to shove they'll fuck up their relationship with the union if it gets them into office.

You also need to look at allies: are there any businesses that would benefit. Large industries? Transportation companies?
What about Tesla and Google and their plans for automated cars - does your idea help them?

Good Luck.

>reduce freeway traffic and congestion.

do you really think that no one has figured out how to do this before? they want traffic and congestion. most likely because it burns fuel and keeps people feeling powerless and dull.

Tip from a man that's uncle sells materials to NH department of transportation.
First have a necessity that everyone needs like metal, pavement, wood etc. Be a donor (at least 10k) to a local politician that is running for executive council (NH's officials that cover DOT) you know will win and request to speak to them. Tell them about the business you provide. Literal pay to play
