Durability of Traffic Signs and Retroreflective Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the durability of the traffic signs at Home and Abroad category and its photometric performance and weather resistance level of retroreflective material standard analysis to explore the scientific correlation between the durability of traffic signs and retroreflective material. Association analysis of the durability of the traffic signs and retroreflective material, the durability of the traffic signs depend on the photometric performance of the retroreflective material should conduct in-depth research for the photometric performance of the retroreflective material attenuation law for the scientific forecast traffic signs service life to provide a theoretical basis.
