Evaluation of static and dynamic method for measuring retroreflection of road markings

摘要

Inadequate and poorly maintained road markings significantly contribute to the occurrence of traffic accidents. Consequently, it is necessary to periodically evaluate the state of road markings by conducting several tests, the most important being the coefficient of retroreflection as determined using the static or dynamic test method. The results of the research conducted in this study show that the dynamic test method provides complete and objective results regarding the quality of road markings, while the static method is somewhat unreliable due to its limitations.
