Temporary light strip system

A modular system of light strips is configured for use on a roadway surface. The light strips are configured to withstand vehicular traffic driving over the light strips. The light strips have a rigid, durable housing protecting a series of LEDs within the housing. LED lenses direct light from the LEDs through the sidewall of the housing at vehicular traffic on the roadway. The channel is filled with a protective material, such as a polymer resin that protects the LEDs and power supply. The modular system includes a power source or can connect to a power grid. The modular system can include a sensor to activate the system and/or to control the light brightness Preferably the light strips connect together or can be substituted for one another to be interchangeable and easily carried, moved, installed and disassembled.

Intelligent road markers

Systems and methods are provided for intelligent road markers. An intelligent road marker comprises a transceiver; a hardware processor; and a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by the hardware processor to perform a method comprising: receiving a message via the transceiver, the message describing a condition related to a road where the intelligent road marker is deployed; determining a direction in which the message is to be propagated; selecting another one of a plurality of the intelligent road markers according to the determined direction, and a stored deployment pattern of the intelligent road markers; and causing the transceiver to transmit the message to the selected intelligent road marker.
