Driving assistance system

A driving assistance system comprising:

• a plurality of magnetic markers laid on a travelling road configured to provide code information to a vehicle, each of the plurality of magnetic markers being magnetically detectable by the vehicle;
• the vehicle comprising
• processing circuitry configured to
• magnetically detect the plurality of magnetic markers,
• read the code information from the plurality of magnetic markers, and
• transmit the read code information to a base station;
• and
• the base station configured to transmit corresponding information corresponding to the code information to the vehicle in response to receiving the code information from the vehicle, wherein
• the processing circuitry of the vehicle is further configured to perform driving assistance control to assist driver's driving by processing the corresponding information received from the base station,
• at least one of the plurality of magnetic markers include a magnet and a radio tag which wirelessly outputs the code information,
• the magnet is a component independent from the radio tag, and the magnet generates a peripheral magnetic field independently from the radio tag,
• the radio tag is a component independent from the magnet, and the radio tag provides the code information to the vehicle independently from the magnet,
• the radio tag is laminated and provided on a surface of the magnet,
• the radio tag and at least a part of the surface of the magnet, on which the radio tag is laminated and provided, are covered by a sheet of a resin mold,
• the magnet has a thickness of less than or equal to 1.0 mm, and
• the magnet has a maximum energy product (BHmax) of 6.4 kJ/m3 or less.
