Yong’an Transportation Bureau introduced self luminous aluminum road stud in 2017. This kind of aluminum road stud can distinguish lanes, improve route identification, and improve road safety performance. However, although the self luminous aluminum road stud can make up for the poor sight at night to some extent, its light source is still limited.
As a result, Yong’an Transportation Bureau has introduced a new type of reflective facilities for boundary markers, namely cat eye aluminum road studs. 1800 360-degree glass cat eye aluminum road studs (cat eye aluminum road studs for short) have been installed on both sides of the road and on the driving boundary line of the self luminous road where the self luminous aluminum road studs were originally installed, extending the road safety and life protection project at night by another 5 km.
This kind of cat eye aluminum road stud is hemispherical, covering a number of patented technology. The material for manufacturing the aluminum road stud product has the advantages of high hardness, low cost and degradability. Moreover, this kind of round cat eye aluminum road stud does not have the edges and corners of traditional luminous signs, and the broken particles form an obtuse angle, which is not easy to damage the tire, making driving safer.
At the same time, the installation of cat eye aluminum road stud is convenient, the replacement frequency is low, the service life is long, and the service life of one-time installation is more than 10 years.
More importantly, cat eye aluminum road studs not only make up for the shortcomings of self luminous aluminum road studs, but also double the reflective area of traditional signs. The darker the sky is, the stronger the cat eye aluminum road stud reflective force is and the higher the brightness is.
