Abstract:
1. A method of utilizing a plurality of road markers to control vehicle speeds comprising: commanding road markers of the plurality of road markers to emit a light for a pre-determined period of time; and controlling the commanding of the road markers to emit the light based upon a timing sequence associated with a desired speed such that the road markers emit light in a strobe pattern, such that, if a vehicle is traveling at the desired speed, then the strobe pattern appears static to a driver of the vehicle, wherein, a message from a traffic authority increases or decreases the timing sequence of the strobe pattern to increase or decrease the speed to the desired speed, wherein each of the road markers individually processes via a processor when to emit the light for the pre-determined period of time such that the road markers emit the light in the strobe pattern based upon the message from the traffic authority.
