Abstract
This paper proposes the use of a wireless sensor network of "cat\´s eye" augmented with embedded processing, communication, and sensing capabilities to monitor vehicle behaviour on augmented roads. The primary goal of the system is to provide drivers with early warning of potentially dangerous situations that may arise. The focus of the paper is on the software architecture needed and the technical challenges to be overcome in order to support this and related applications
