Abstract
Implementations of a visual cue system for conveying road state data to one or more vehicles traveling on a roadway can include a set of visual cue units that receive road state data and selectively issue a visual cue based on the road state data, at least one visual cue unit including a data processing unit configured to process the road state data and determine a light pattern based on a set of light pattern generation rules, and a light pattern display that selectively issues at least a portion of the light pattern to the one or more vehicles traveling on the roadway.

(canceled)
A visual cue unit for conveying road state data to one or more vehicles traveling on a roadway, the visual cue unit comprising:
- a data processing unit configured to execute instructions to cause the data processing unit to perform operations comprising:
- receiving road state data,
- determining, from a plurality of candidate types of light patterns, a type for a light pattern based on a capability of a vehicle that the light pattern is to be targeted to, and
- determining the light pattern based on the road state data and the type for the light pattern;
- and
- a light pattern display that selectively issues at least a portion of the light pattern.
A computer-implemented method for selectively issuing light patterns from one or more visual cue units, the method comprising:
- receiving road state data;
- determining, from a plurality of candidate types of light patterns, a type for a light pattern based on a capability of a vehicle that the light pattern is to be targeted to;
- determining the light pattern based on the road state data and the type for the light pattern;
- and
- issuing the light pattern on a light pattern display of a visual cue unit.
One or more non-transitory storage media encoded with instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform operations for selectively issuing light patterns from one or more visual cue units, the operations comprising:
- receiving road state data;
- determining, from a plurality of candidate types of light patterns, a type for a light pattern based on a capability of a vehicle that the light pattern is to be targeted to;
- determining the light pattern based on the road state data and the type for the light pattern;
- and
- issuing the light pattern on a light pattern display of a visual cue unit.
