Abstract
A traffic marker illumination device for improving the visibility of a traffic marker to provide warnings for constructions sites and roadways. The traffic marker illumination device is designed to removably attach to an interior portion of a traffic marker. The traffic marker illumination device generates a light to illuminate the traffic marker based on the geographic position of the traffic marker and surrounding environmental elements.
Claims20
A marker illumination device comprising:
- a top shell;
- a bottom shell;
- a magnetic insert;
- at least one gasket;
- at least one battery;
- a layer of heat-dissipating material;
- and
- a printed circuit board assembly including at least one processor, at least one antenna, and a light emitting component;
- wherein, via the magnetic insert, marker illumination device is operable to magnetically attach to a corresponding magnet positioned on a marker;
- and
- wherein, via the at least one processor, the light emitting component is operable to generating a light corresponding to a lighting sequence, wherein the lighting sequence is based on a timing schedule and a location of the marker illumination device.
A marker illumination device comprising:
- a top shell;
- a bottom shell;
- a magnetic layer;
- a first gasket;
- a second gasket;
- at least one battery;
- at least one sensor;
- and
- a printed circuit board assembly including at least one processor, at least one antenna, and a light emitting component;
- wherein the light emitting component includes a plurality of light emitting diodes;
- wherein the magnetic layer is positioned under the top shell;
- wherein the first gasket is positioned under the magnetic layer,
- wherein the at least one battery and the printed circuit board assembly are positioned below the first gasket;
- wherein the second gasket is positioned underneath the printed circuit board assembly;
- and
- wherein the bottom shell is positioned underneath the second gasket.
A marker illumination device comprising:
- a top shell;
- a bottom shell;
- a magnetic layer;
- at least one gasket;
- a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors include at least one optical sensor, at least one positioning sensor, and/or at least one temperature sensor;
- at least one battery;
- and
- a printed circuit board assembly including at least one processor, at least one antenna, and a light emitting component;
- wherein the marker illumination device is operable to attach to an interior surface of a marker;
- and
- wherein, once the marker illumination device is positioned within the marker, the marker illumination device is operable to generate a light via the light emitting component.
