Abstract:
A method and system for facilitating cost effective, reliable, system redundant, self-driving vehicles involves the employment of specialized lane marking components that permit unprecedented sensor feedback, and in particular, a system and method that enables accurate lane marking recognition despite adverse weather conditions, which presently pose problems experienced by self-driving systems that rely upon vision based camera systems.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for limiting a vehicle's lane departure, comprising:\n providing a vehicle lane departure system enables accurate lane marking recognition despite weather conditions where the road is covered by snow, said vehicle lane departure system enables accurate lane marking recognition despite weather conditions where the road is covered by snow. vehicle lane departure system having a magnetic sensor adapted to detect a magnetic signal, said magnetic sensor positioned near one of a tire and a wheel of a vehicle to detect magnetic fields from magnetic road markers positioned on a road, said magnetic road markers comprising pavement marking material adapted to be applied to a roadway surface; said pavement marking material adapted to reflect at least two of the following signals: visible light, laser from a lidar; and a radar signal; said magnetic road markers presenting a magnetic signal and adapted to be positioned substantially on at least one of a lane edge of a vehicle lane on a roadway and in the center of the roadway; said magnetic road markers including at least one of a rare earth magnetic components; and an RFID tag; detecting at least one of said magnetic signal detected by said magnetic sensor; and the RFID tag detected by an RFID tag reader associated with the vehicle.
