A system for providing smart road infrastructure for the purpose of vehicle safety and autonomous driving, comprising a plurality of road units, which are located along the borders of each traffic lane and equally spaced from each other, where each road unit includes a read/write passive RF tag; antenna for communicating with a plurality of transceivers, each of which is installed on each vehicle that travels along a traffic lane of said road, in response to signals transmitted from said transceivers; a memory for temporarily storing data regarding each vehicle traveling along said lane. Each car unit comprises a reader for interrogating said tags. The reader includes a first transceiver that is installed on the left front of said vehicle and a second transceiver that is installed on the right front of said vehicle; a processor being in bidirectional data communication with said transceivers and with the vehicle inherent control systems, for processing data received from said tags and calculating speed and location of said vehicle with respect to the borders of said lane and to other neighboring vehicles traveling in said lane and adjacent lanes, to implement vehicle safety operations such as Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Centering, Side Collision Warning. Alerting the driver (visually and/or audibly) regarding potential problems and/or taking over control of the vehicle (ADAS 1-5). The system can provide Connected Vehicles with accurate (ubiquitous and instantaneous) location data with lane-level resolution. The proposed smart infrastructure may complement car sensors and/or connected vehicles, so as to implement a combination that yield the most relabel and cost-effective autonomous driving system.
