再帰性反射材輪郭貼付の有効性に関する研究

抄録

Accidents involving large vehicles on highways at night are caused by reduced visibility and other factors. To prevent this, it is effective to increase the visibility of the vehicle, especially by contour affixing reflective materials to the rear of the vehicle. In this study, retroreflective material was affixed to the rear of a large vehicle and its effectiveness was tested on a highway at night. In the experiment, the distance between vehicles from behind and the behavior of lane changes were analyzed by comparing the vehicles without reflective material, with reflective material affixed in a horizontal line, and with reflective material affixed in a contour. As a result, it was observed that behind the contoured vehicles, the distance between the vehicles was extended and the position where the lane change was initiated was also farther away.
