Signage overlay article
A signage overlay article includes a polymeric substrate having a thickness in a range from 75 to 1000 micrometers, an optically active sign sheeting fixed to the polymeric substrate, and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the polymeric substrate. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer has a thickness in a range from 350 to 3000 micrometers.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY STOPPING A MOTOR VEHICLE THAT IS AT LEAST INTERMITTENTLY AUTOMATICALLY GUIDED ON A ROUTE
A method and device, for a vehicle that at times is automatically guided by an autonomous guidance in which an intervention by the driver is not required, includes a continual checking of whether the automatic vehicle guidance is able to be maintained in the future or whether it must be terminated. In the event that the automatic vehicle guidance must be terminated, the vehicle is transitioned into a stopping procedure. A standstill position of the vehicle in the stopping process is pre-calculated and a warning triangle mounted on the vehicle is launched, so that the warning triangle is positioned at a predefined minimum distance from the standstill position.

Portable, self-illuminating traffic sign
A portable, self-illuminating traffic sign having a sign face with two opposite sides. One side indicates a first traffic signal, and the other side indicates a second traffic signal. Light assemblies are attached to each side of the sign. The light assemblies emit light that may match the predominant color of one of the sides of the sign. A battery may be disposed in a pole that connects to the sign. A handlegrip allows for the sign to be held and provides a switch to allow for the lights to be selectively turned on and off. The light assemblies are disposed within collar assemblies so as to reduce, or prevent, light emitted from the light assemblies reflecting off of the sign faces.

METHOD OF CONTROLLING MOTION OF MOBILE WARNING TRIANGLE AND MOBILE WARNING TRIANGLE EMPLOYING METHOD
A method for controlling the motion of a mobile warning triangle for placement behind a stationary vehicle on a roadway acquires color information of the lane markings detected by a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor of the mobile warning triangle. When the mobile warning triangle is placed on the roadway, the first to third sensors are preset in position to detect the lane markings and their colors. The white or yellow color information of the lane markings or of the black-colored roadway are detected or not detected on an individual basis by the sensors and deviations from a required path are recognized when different colors are received in certain combinations by the sensors. If no deviation is recognized in the colors, the mobile warning triangle is controlled to continue moving forward.
METHOD OF CONTROLLING MOTION OF MOBILE WARNING TRIANGLE AND MOBILE WARNING TRIANGLE APPLICANT IN THE METHOD THEREOF
A method for controlling the motion of a mobile warning triangle for suitable placement on a roadway acquires information as to color of the lane markings detected by a sensor. When the mobile warning triangle is first placed on the roadway, the sensor is preset in position to detect the lane marking. White or yellow color information of the lane marking or of the black-colored roadway are detected or are not detected by the sensor, and deviations from a required path are recognized when different colors are received in certain combinations by the sensor. If no deviation is recognized in the colors, the mobile warning triangle continues moving forward. If a deviation in colors is recognized, the mobile warning triangle is controlled to hunt to the left and right through one or more predetermined angles to try to detect or redetect the lane marking.
