Three-dimensional Pavement-marking Design by Ana-morphosis

Abstract

This study was designed road pavement-marking that looks three-dimensional to "Stop" for the purpose of traffic safety. Method of marking a three-dimensional on the plane by the perspective is called Ana-morphosis. With Ana-morphosis approach, we create the design proposal to show a road marking character of "Stop" in three dimensions. The actual drive experiments of the CG driving real and full-size sheet using a drive simulator equipment at the installation road, was verified that effect. As the result, the designs considered that the driver stops unobtrusive operation are” the horizontal display block of characters” and “road sign of Stop”. Throughout the experiment, anamorphosis technique is actual paint compared to the CG was found to be invisible to the very three-dimensional. On the other hand, it was found to be easier to read and to apply to the character. Accordingly, it was able to suggest the possibility of traffic safety contributed by design focusing on readability than stereoscopic.
