适用范围

The nighttime performance of pavement markings is determined by the coefficient of retroreflected luminance, RL, be it dry or wet, and depends on the materials used, age, and wear pattern. These conditions shall be observed and noted by the user.

Under the same conditions of headlight illumination and driver''s viewing, larger values of RL correspond to higher levels of visual performance at corresponding geometry.

The pavement marking''s measured performance in the standard condition of wetness is used to characterize the performance of the marking on the road when wet.

Newly installed pavement markings may have a natural surface tension or release agents that prevent wetting of the product by water. The water will tend to x201C;bead upx201D; on the marking. This x201C;non wettingx201D; condition is usually short lived. Pavement markings that have been on the road for one month prior to testing usually do not exhibit this non-wetting phenomenon. (Warningx2013;This phenomenon produces an interference when assessing the wet characteristics of a pavement marking. Attempts to measure markings with this surface x201C;non-wettingx201D; or x201C;beadingx201D; of the water may give higher values.)

The retroreflectivity, RL, of pavement (road) markings degrades with traffic wear and requires periodic measurement to ensure that sufficient line visibility is provided to drivers. For example see Specification D6359 for dry retroreflectivity requirements.

For a given viewing distance, measurements of RL made with a retroreflectometer having a geometry corresponding to that viewing distance are a good indicator of the visual ranking of the material measured.

As specified by Test Method E1710, the measurement geometry of the instrument is based on a viewing distance of 30 m, an eye height of 1.2 m and a headlight mounting height of 0.65 m (see Appendix X1).

It shall be the responsibility of the user to employ an instrument having the specified observation and entrance angles.

1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the wet retroreflective (RL) properties of horizontal pavement marking materials, such as traffic stripes and road surface symbols, using a portable or mobile retroreflectometer that can be placed on or before the road marking to measure the retroreflection at the prescribed geometry.

1.2 This method of measuring the wet retroreflective properties (RL) of pavement markings measures the wet retroreflectivity in a standard condition of wetness (see Fig. 1).

1.2.1 Discussion151;This test condition typically exists (1) after a rainfall has ended and the pavement markings are still wet or (2) as the markings are wet from dew or humidity.

1.3 Retroreflective performance obtained with this test in conditions of wetness does not necessarily relate to how markings perform in conditions of rain, that is, as markings are being rained upon.
