Abstract

Potrebna doza sigurnosti u prometu ostvaruje se dobrom vidljivošću prometne signalizacije. Zbog dovoljne razine osvijetljenosti, prilikom dnevnih uvjeta olakšano je prikupljanje informacija iz prometa, no tijekom noći i uvjeta otežane vidljivosti povećava se vjerojatnost pojave neželjenih situacija. U tom slučaju, u izradi prometne signalizacije, označavanju ljudi i vozila počeli su se primjenjivati retroreflektirajući materijali. Retroreflektirajući elementi posjeduju sposobnost reflektiranja ulaznog snopa svjetlosti od određene površine u približno istom smjeru unatrag prema izvoru, npr. obasjavanje površine prometnog znaka svjetlima vozila te se zatim svijetlost, zbog prisutnosti staklenih kuglica ili mikroprizmi vraća prema izvoru, odnosno prema vozaču. Samim time, s aspekta sigurnosti, postiže se njihova temeljna zadaća i funkcija u prometu, odnosno da je uočljivost i vidljivost što učinkovitija u svim vremenskim uvjetima.

Abstract (english)

The necessary level of safety in traffic is achieved by good visibility of uniform traffic control devices. Due to the sufficient level of lighting, it is easier to collect information from the evironment during daytime conditions, however during the night-time and low visibility conditions the probability of the occurrence of unwanted situations increases. In such circumstances, retroreflective materials are used in the production of uniform traffic control devices as well as for marking people and vehicles. Retroreflective elements have the ability to reflect the incoming beam of light from a certain surface in approximately the same direction back towards the source, for example the illumination of the surface of a road sign by vehicle lights, and then the light, due to the presence of glass balls or microprisms, returns to the source, i.e. driver. This alone, from the aspect of safety, achieves their basic task and function in traffic, i.e. that visibility and visibility become effective in all weather conditions.
