Systems and methods for obtaining data about road conditions as they pertain to an individual vehicle, using this information to build a model of vehicle behavior as a function of its environment, and aggregating information concerning multiple vehicles along with data from other sources in order to predict vehicle behavior in future environments.

Implementations of a visual cue system for conveying road state data to one or more vehicles traveling on a roadway can include a set of visual cue units that receive road state data and selectively issue a visual cue based on the road state data, at least one visual cue unit including a data processing unit configured to process the road state data and determine a light pattern based on a set of light pattern generation rules, and a light pattern display that selectively issues at least a portion of the light pattern to the one or more vehicles traveling on the roadway.

A permeable paver and modular light system for making a parking space or a traffic lane using at least one replaceable lighting module or a plurality of replaceable lighting modules, wherein the replaceable lighting module or the plurality of replaceable modules have at least one power supply and at least one light source. The permeable paver and modular light system have a controller configured to turn on and off the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group, change a color of the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group, illuminate a configuration of the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group based on a stored configuration, and change the illuminated configuration of the replaceable lighting module individually or as a group. The permeable paver and modular light system have a plurality of permeable pavers to form a surface for supporting a load of a vehicle.

Embodiments of the present invention may relate to displaying road markings for a user without fading or becoming hidden. A road markings application may communicate with one or more devices to obtain road marking location information. The one or more devices may be attached to a vehicle, stationary device, or remote device. The road markings application may determine one or more locations for one or more projected road markings. A concentrated light source, such as a laser, attached to a vehicle may project road markings on a surface of a road. Projected road markings may change to accommodate vehicles of various sizes and/or to indicate potential obstacles on a road.

A method for using barrier systems includes positioning a plurality of barrier systems at a location, each barrier system having: a barrier having an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface, the interior surface bounding a chamber that is adapted to receive a ballast; and a light assembly secured to the barrier, the light assembly comprising a housing having a lens that at least partially bounds a compartment, a light source at least partially disposed within the compartment, and programmable circuity in electrical communication with the light emitting device. A control device is used to communicate wirelessly with programmable circuity of each barrier system after the barrier systems are positioned at the location so that data is transferred between the control device and the programmable circuity of each barrier system.

A road marker device comprising: a housing comprising a flat top surface and configured to be inserted in a road such that the flat top surface is leveled with the road surface; a light source housing operatively coupled with the housing, the light source housing comprising at least one aperture protruding from the flat top surface; at least one light source installed in the light source housing, wherein the at least one light source is visible to users of the road through the at least one aperture; and a tilt mechanism installed in the housing and operatively coupled with the light source housing, the tilt mechanism configured to allow descent of the light source housing below the road surface once a pressure is applied on the light source housing.

A display sign is for a central reservation barrier in some examples. It has a base to engage a barrier in a manner which envelopes the top surface and downwardly on the opposed side walls. A display with display elements provides information for drivers, and a display drive apparatus is mounted to the base and rotates the display about a vertical axis extending from the base. The drives can have a very low profile, with components being offset with respect to the display longitudinal axis. The drive provides that the display is aligned with a barrier in use when not required but is turned to an optimal angle for visibility by drivers according to the driving conditions. The drive brings the display back to the default in operative position when there is a power outage.
