Abstract
Driving condition monitoring system for a vehicle on a roadway includes stationary mounting structures arranged proximate the roadway, and sensors located in the mounting structures in a vicinity of the roadway and apart from the roadway. The sensors generate information about the roadway or an environment around the roadway. An arrangement on the vehicle or associated with the sensors initiates a transmission of the information generated by each sensor to the vehicle when the vehicle is proximate the sensor.
