A road marker may include a housing with a cavity and at least one perimeter surface oriented perpendicular to the direction of traffic. Each of the at least two perimeter surfaces containing an opening may be substantially covered with a mesh. Further, each of the openings may form either an air input or an air output, and the air input and air output openings may be located substantially opposite to each other to generate a flow of air through the cavity. In addition, the cavity may include passive electrical components for heating the flow of air.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a retro-reflective raised pavement marker (100) and a method of manufacturing (200) thereof. The marker (100) comprises a marker body (1), at least one intermediate frame (6), and at least one retro-reflective lens (7) such that the marker body (1) completely houses the at least one intermediate frame (6) and the at least one retro-reflective lens (7). Further, the manufactured marker (100) is durable, effective and has better retention with the ground surface and better load distribution to the ground.

Described are retroreflective marker devices, which encode information that can be read by optical sensors, such as LiDAR devices, and that do not detract from human safety. Also described are kits for retrofitting existing markers.

A pre-filled adhesive pavement marker having a body with downwardly facing openings that are pre-filled with an adhesive. An adhesive pad including an adhesive can be provided on a surface of a pavement. The pre-filled adhesive pavement marker can be attached to the adhesive pad to thereby adhere the pre-filled pavement marker to the surface of the pavement.

In an example, a method may read, at a first timestamp using a first reader device and a second reader device of a first vehicle, a first marker position from a first marker device located on a road segment at the first marker position and a second marker position from a second marker device located on the road segment at the second marker position that is different from the first marker position. The method may determine a vehicle position of the first vehicle on the road segment at the first timestamp based on the first marker position of the first marker device and the second marker position of the second marker device.

A method of resurfacing a length of roadway or other paved surface having markers thereon includes covering the markers with respective marker covers, applying a coating material to the road and the marker covers, then removing the covers. The marker covers mask the markers from the coating material. An inside dimension of the marker covers should approximate the widest outside dimension of the markers. The inside height of the marker cover can be higher than the height the marker extends over the surface. The cover should rest on the surface and not on the marker, for preferred masking and stability. The weight and shape of the covers should permit them to stay in place despite various disrupting forces. After coating, the covers can be removed or crushed in place.
