Magnetic marker

Abstract

A magnetic marker to be laid in or on a road to achieve driving support control such as lane departure warning for warning departure of a vehicle from a lane and so forth, is a magnetic marker in which an RFID tag having an antenna for transmitting or receiving electric waves for wireless communication is retained in a magnet forming a magnetism generation source. The magnetic marker further includes a protective cover which prevents proximity of water to the antenna of the RFID tag and isolates the antenna from water. Thus, more information can be stably provided to a vehicle side.
