Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for painting driving markings invisible in visible light spectrum, comprising generating driving assistance markings expressing driving information relating to one or more road segments, computing instructions for painting the driving assistance markings on one or more elements of the road segment(s) using one or more paint material(s) characterized by: (1) reflecting light in a visible light spectral range deviating less than a first value from the visible light spectral range reflected by a surface of the element(s) and (2) reflecting light in an infrared spectral range deviating more than a second value from the infrared spectral range reflected by the surface of the element(s), and outputting the painting instructions for applying the one or more paint materials on the element(s) according to the instructions such that the driving assistance markings are visible in the infrared spectrum and significantly invisible in the visible spectrum.
