Intelligent traffic management system with all-weather, illuminated lane markings

A road marker housing, comprising:

• a. a road insert having an exterior texture that includes upwardly facing ridges and an internal cavity including interior surface textures and a tapered front cavity;
• b. a boot of incompressible material disposed within the internal cavity of the road insert and form-fit thereto, the boot having a boot cavity;
• and
• c. a housing body removably disposed within the boot cavity and form-fit thereto, the housing body including:
• i. a tapered front shaped to mate with the tapered front cavity of the road insert and thereby be trapped therein;
• ii. an array of exterior surface textures that operate together with the interior surface textures of the road insert through the boot to operate as a forward operating taper lock between the housing body and the road insert that restricts forward movement and rotation of the housing body with respect to the road insert;
• iii. a housing cavity within which one or more physical modules may be disposed;
• iv. a wedge lock disposed over the rear lock and locking the rear lock into place;
• d. a cam lock removably disposed inside the road insert behind the housing body that prevents rearward displacement of the housing body with respect to the road insert;
• and
• e. a lighting system to provide illumination through a top surface thereof.

A road marker housing, comprising:

• a. a road insert which is rectangular from a top plan view having an exterior texture that includes tooth-shaped upwardly facing ridges and an internal cavity including interior surface textures and a tapered front cavity;
• b. a boot of incompressible material disposed within the internal cavity of the road insert and form-fit thereto, the boot having a boot cavity;
• c. a housing body removably disposed within the boot cavity and form-fit thereto, the housing body including;
• i. a tapered front shaped to mate with the tapered front cavity of the road insert and thereby be trapped therein;
• ii. an array of exterior surface textures that operate together with the interior surface textures of the road insert through the boot to operate as a forward operating taper lock between the housing body and the road insert that restricts forward movement and rotation of the housing body with respect to the road insert;
• and
• iii. a housing cavity within which one or more physical modules may be disposed;
• iv. a channel disposed along an underside thereof, through which compressed air may be injected to facilitate removal of the housing body from the boot;
• v. a lighting system to provide illumination through a top surface thereof;
• d. a rear lock removably disposed inside the road insert behind the housing body that prevents rearward displacement of the housing body with respect to the road insert;
• e. a wedge lock disposed over the rear lock and locking the rear lock into place;
• and
• f. a sensor which is coupled to a central control module.
