What the MagTrac Portfolio Covers
The growing MagTrac portfolio will soon include a ninth issued U.S. patent, as well as a further pending application, covering magnetic, RFID, conductive, and other roadway-based technologies designed to improve autonomous vehicle perception and navigation. The patents have been cited more than 170 times by companies and organizations across the automotive, technology, robotics, and transportation industries, including Toyota, Aichi Steel, Hyundai, Uber, Honda, Ford Global Technologies, Volkswagen, Baidu, Waymo, Mobileye, Hitatchi, Mircon, AT&T, LG Electronics, Robert Bosch, 3M, State Farm, MIT, Volvo, IBM and Bombardier.
The portfolio covers systems and methods involving specialized roadway markings and recognition features that may incorporate magnetic materials and magnetic markers, RFID technologies, conductive and thin-film materials, visible, infrared, ultraviolet, and other detectable elements, encoded information embedded in roadway markers, vehicle-based systems for detecting and interpreting roadway signals, and recognition features for pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, and other roadway users. In certain embodiments, detectable elements may be embedded in painted or prefabricated pavement markings. The technology may also support temporary roadway configurations, including construction zones, work zones, and detours, by enabling detectable markers to define alternate travel paths.
MagTrac owns the issued patents and pending applications outright and is seeking qualified parties interested in acquiring, licensing, or partnering around the portfolio. The lead inventor is James J. Kovarik, who has over 30 years of experience with non-destructive inspection technologies.
