High-tech pavement markers support autonomous driving in tough conditions, remote areas
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Working with Western Michigan University and other partners, Oak Ridge National laborator engineers are placing low-powered sensors in the reflective raised pavement markers that are already used to help drivers identify lanes. Microchips inside the markers transmit information to passing cars about the road shape to help autonomous driving features function even when vehicle cameras or remote laser sensing, called LiDAR, are unreliable because of fog, snow, glare or other obstructions.
