Pavement Marking Materials and Markers: Real-World Relationship between Retroreflectivity and Safety Over Time.

摘要

Longitudinal pavement markings are found on nearly all freeways and highways in the United States, and previous research has emphasized the importance of quantifying the impact of different pavement marking material types on safety. While important, quantifying safety of pavement marking and marker of material types has remained elusive. This study takes a unique approach compared to previous research, and instead focuses upon quantifying the relationship between retroreflectivity and safety over time, independent of marking or marker material type.
