Abstract: The road-marking system is described for influencing a flow of traffic consisting of vehicles traveling over a roadway. The road-marking system comprises a plurality of road marking units. The road marking units are provided with at least one light source for emitting light in the direction of a driver of the vehicle In operation, the road-marking system generates a guidance light which seemingly moves along with the flow of traffic and is generated by suitably switching on and off the light source in the road marking units. According to the invention spectral characteristics of the light emitted by the guidance light is dependent on the angle under which the light is emitted, wherein the speed of the guidance light is independent of the flow of the traffic.

Abstract: A road-marking system has at least a first lighting module (4) provided in a road surface (1). The lighting module (4) is provided with a plurality of light emitting surfaces (14, 14?, . . . ). The lighting module (4) has connection means (7, 7) for providing electrical connection between the lighting module (4) and the electrical current supply conductor (6). Preferably, the current supply conductor (6) is provided in a duct (8) provided with an opening (8?) at the location of the lighting module (4).

Abstract: A system for effecting merging of a first vehicle traveling in a first roadway with successive vehicles traveling in a second roadway, said system including: a sensor capable of detecting the movement of the successive vehicles in the second roadway; conversion means for determining from the detected movement when the distance between the successive vehicles permits merging; and a road-marking arrangement for producing a guidance light visible to at least the first vehicle and seemingly moving with the two successive vehicles, the light indicating when said merging is permitted. The dynamic road marking system enables higher traffic intensities on roadways and improved traffic safety.

Abstract: A dynamic road marking system for influencing a flow of traffic has a plurality of road marking units (3, 3?, 3?, . . . ) provided with a light source emitting light in the direction of a driver of a vehicle (6, 6?) traveling over a roadway (10). The road marking unit includes detection apparatus (2) for detecting the intensity of the flow of traffic, and conversion apparatus for converting the detected traffic intensity to a desired traffic intensity with a desired mutual distance between the vehicles (6, 6?) and/or a desired velocity of the vehicles (6, 6?). The road marking system generates a guidance light (1, 1?, . . . ) which seemingly moves along with the flow of traffic by suitably switching on and off the light source in the road marking units (3, 3?, 3?, . . . ). The flow of traffic moves along with the moving guidance light (1, 1?, . . . ). The speed of the guidance light (1, 1?, . . .

Abstract: A road-marking system comprising at least a first (1) and a second road-marking unit (2) each having an emission surface (10; 20), the first unit comprising a first light source (21, 21′ . . . ) and the second unit comprising a second light source (22, 22′ . . . ). Each unit has a shape adapted to a saw-cut recess (9) accommodating the unit.

Abstract: The dynamic road marking system for influencing a flow of traffic comprises a plurality of road marking units (3, 3′, 3″, . . . ) provided with a light source emitting light in the direction of a driver of a vehicle (6, 6′) traveling over a roadway (10). The road marking unit includes detection means (2) for detecting the intensity of the flow of traffic, and conversion means for converting the detected traffic intensity to a desired traffic intensity with a desired mutual distance between the vehicles (6, 6′) and/or a desired velocity of the vehicles (6, 6′). According to the invention, the road marking system generates a guidance light (1, 1′, . . . ) which seemingly moves along with the flow of traffic by suitably switching on and off the light source in the road marking units (3, 3′, 3″, . . . ). The flow of traffic moves along with the moving guidance light (1, 1′, . . . ). The speed of the guidance light (1, 1′, . . .
