System for vehicle identification
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for identifying a first vehicle comprising:
- a set of optically active markers, each optically active marker on at least a portion of opposing outward surfaces of the first vehicle and each optically active marker comprises machine-readable information;
a image capture device on a second vehicle that detects and produces an image of at least one of the optically active markers;
a processor that processes the image to find the machine-readable information and associates the machine-readable information with information of the first vehicle,wherein the set of optically active markers comprises;
a first optically active marker on a first outward facing surface of the first vehicle;
a second optically active marker on a second outward facing surface of the first vehicle, opposite from the first outward facing surface of the first vehicle;
a third optically active marker on a third outward facing surface of the first vehicle;
a fourth optically active marker on a fourth outward facing surface of the first vehicle, opposite from the third outward facing surface of the first vehicle.

Abstract
The sensors on a vehicle can have difficulties identifying surrounding objects in the environment. Markers with predetermined properties that match with reading capabilities of the on-vehicle sensors would provide information about the surrounding environment. In particular, adjacent vehicles may have markers with predetermined properties that match with reading capabilities of the vehicle sensors. The sensors would obtain information about the surrounding vehicles on the road, which could be used to provide context for decision making of the advanced driver assistance system.
