Here will introduce
the background of the creation of solar cat eye road studs. The focus of highway construction is gradually shifting to mountainous areas and areas with relatively backward economic development. In the mountainous expressway, the custom is significantly affected by the mountain valley, and the average custom is only 1.2m/s. In addition to the humid and rainy climate conditions and lush vegetation environment, fog often occurs in this section.
And because the highway usually spans a long distance, especially through the rural and mountainous highways, the situation of Expressway becomes more complex. The distribution of fog is often uneven, sometimes it appears in one section of the line of sight is better, in another section of the fog. To make matters worse, it often happens at night. When a high-speed vehicle suddenly enters the fog area, the driver's vision will suddenly darken. Because of the unadaptability to sudden visual changes, traffic accidents can easily happen at this time.
The original reflective cat eye road stud was invented in the 1930s by Yorkshireman Percy Shaw, after he was inspired by the sight of his car headlamps reflected in the eyes of a cat. The brightness of ordinary reflective cat eye road stud is only 300-400 MCD and the industry argues has hampered the development of new technology of cat eye road stud. Solar cat eye road studs have high brightness. It can reach more than 2000 MCD, which is 6-7 times of the former. High intensity light can also pass through rain and fog at night, providing safe and effective illumination and direction for drivers.
Solar cat eye road studs provide a significant increase in the effective warning distance for drivers. Flashing models flag driver attention and can help reduce speed. It provides clear and visible traffic guidance in all weather conditions! Fog and heavy rain – wet roads which creates a reflection of city and vehicles lights and makes current lane lines almost invisible!
