    摘要: A highway retroreflecting marker comprises a housing including a base having a relatively rigid side wall, and a resiliently depressible cap projecting upwardly from the base. The cap is substantially sealingly engaged with the side wall of the base. At least the cap of the housing is formed from a relatively wearresistant synthetic resin. The cap has a prism which is transparent to enable light rays to pass therethrough and which redirects the light rays striking the prism at an angle different from the angle at which the light rays strike the prism. A retroreflecting means is supported in the housing to enable the light rays redirected from the prism to be received thereby and to enable the light rays received thereby to be retroreflected therefrom back to the prism. The housing is adapted to be positioned adjacent a roadway so that the light rays from an approaching vehicle will strike the prism, be redirected therefrom to the retroreflecting means, then be retroreflected to the prism, and thereafter be directed from the prism back towards the approaching vehicle.

    摘要: A work system (1) including a work vehicle (11) which, as moving on a road (1R) where magnetic markers (10) are laid, detects the magnetic marker (10) to conduct work of preparation, maintenance, or management of the road (1R) has a control unit (13) which identifies a relative position of the work vehicle (11) with respect to the magnetic marker (10) and identifies a point to be worked on by the work vehicle (11) based on the relative position. With the work vehicle (11) conducting work at the point identified by the control unit (13), work regarding the traveling road where the magnetic markers are laid can be efficiently conducted.

    摘要: An electrical power generating apparatus for generating electrical power using a generator connected directly or indirectly to a flywheel is disclosed. The apparatus comprises platforms, protrusions, generators, flywheels and other components. The platforms are configured to be laid on a surface and easily allow an object, e.g., a vehicle to traverse over the platforms. Each protrusion is configured to move downward and upward through apertures located in a top portion of the platform. The protrusions interact with reset members. The protrusions move in a linear/angle downward/downward-upward motion when the object pushes/strikes/depresses the protrusions. Each protrusion is connected in an operative manner to a shaft via a gear, and/or to a lever which is connected in an operative manner to shaft, thereby rotating the shaft by converting linear motion to rotational motion. A generator, flywheel, and gearbox can be coupled to the shaft.

    摘要: Provided is a driving assistance system capable of providing more pieces of information to a vehicle side by using magnetic markers. A driving assistance system (1A) is a system including magnetic markers (1) laid on a travelling road so as to be magnetically detectable and also be able to provide code information to a vehicle side, a vehicle (5) configured to be able to magnetically detect the magnetic markers (1) and also read the code information, and a base station (6) configured to make a reply with corresponding information when receiving the code information from the vehicle (5) reading the code information.
