DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF GLOW-IN-THE-DARK CONCRETE BASED RAISED PAVEMENT MARKER FOR IMPROVED TRAFFIC SAFETY

Road infrastructure has witnessed incremental changes in the past as compared to immense development by vehicle’s safety technology. Bott’s dots and other reflector devices are extensively used on road for lane separation improving edge detection. These come a large variety of shapes sizes, however, all them fall under category retroreflectivity since they depend vehicle lights provide reflection. Glow-in-the-dark (GiD) material benefit that it can store energy during presence light emit stored form visible absence an external source. In this regard, presented research work details testing GiD concrete based markers be The innovation is instead addition acting driver alertness tool. durability performance innovative raised pavement been along with cost comparison traditional dot. addition, prototype adopted various architectural esthetical applications buildings, parks, walkways bicycle lanes etc.
