PROJECTED SURFACE MARKINGS

摘要

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.

1. A method for projecting a marking on a surface, the method comprising:
determining a first position of a first vehicle within a travelling environment; selecting a second position within the travelling environment for projecting the marking, wherein the selection is based on the first position and on the travelling environment, wherein selecting the second position comprises the first vehicle communicating with a second vehicle, wherein communicating comprises communicating via a network; and projecting a focused light beam, by a projector attached to the first vehicle, towards the second position, whereby the projection generates the marking on the surface at the second position, wherein one or more steps of the method are performed by one or more computers.
