When GPS fails, URGNs™
Delivers Reliable Ultra-Wideband Roadway Geometry Networks

The URGN™ Program deploys UWB tags in existing raised pavement markers and reference posts that maintenance crews already replace. This implementation requires no new infrastructure, poles, or additional lane closures—only a change order to existing striping contracts. The deployment process integrates seamlessly with scheduled maintenance cycles, minimizing disruption while maximizing coverage. Alternatively, allow URGNs to maintain them separately.

The URGN™ Program prevents thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of serious injuries annually by eliminating 15-40% of winter crashes caused by lane departures in northern states. It provides precise 10-30 cm lane-level positioning in extreme conditions, including blizzards, ice, fog, tunnels, and urban canyons where GPS fails. This all-weather capability returns billions of productive hours lost to weather slowdowns while enabling true lane-level congestion management.

Zero. The URGN™ Program operates through a public-private partnership where private industry fully funds deployment and maintains operations for 30 years at no cost to taxpayers. In exchange, the private partner receives the right to provide licensed data access to robotaxi fleets, ADAS manufacturers, insurers, delivery companies, and navigation providers—creating a sustainable business model that requires no public funding.

Yes, the URGN™ Program utilizes standard UWB chips already built into every new iPhone, Android flagship, and 2025+ vehicles. This existing technology provides an unjammable, all-weather positioning system that works when GPS fails. The implementation cost is less than 1/10th of normal restriping costs, with 5x redundancy built in to ensure reliability and continuous operation even during adverse conditions.

The The system is ready for deployment at the end of 2026 in a city near you, ask your mayor governor to become a URGNite. This timeline allows for comprehensive testing under real-world winter conditions to validate performance. Upon successful demonstration, the program can rapidly scale nationwide, permanently ending winter lane-departure crashes, enabling Level 4/5 autonomy, and providing resilient positioning when GPS fails for DoD and emergency services.
