Cat eye road studs guard safety on road at night. Yong’an Transportation Bureau takes the lead in introducing self-luminous cat eye road studs in the whole province, and carries out popularization and application. These self-luminous cat eye road studs installed on the edge of the road use the working principle of “absorbing light energy – storing light energy – releasing light energy” to actively emit light source.
Cat eye road stud is a kind of reflective road stud. It is a round transparent glass body. As a whole, after the light is refracted and concentrated by the protruding sphere on the road, cat eye road stud is reflected by the reflector on the road stud’s base, and then reflected by the protruding sphere on the road.
According to reports, compared with the traditional road stud, the cat eye road stud sign is brighter, and the darker the sky is, the stronger the reflective force is, which is all-weather spotlight reflection. The reflective effect of traditional road studs will decrease with the curvature of the road. When the curvature is more than 45 degrees, the traditional signs will lose all functions, which is very dangerous. However, the cat eye road stud is not affected by the road curvature, which is twice as large as the reflective area of traditional road studs, and has omni-directional concentrated reflection.
At the same time, the traditional road studs need to be replaced 5-6 times before the road surface is rebuilt (about 2 years), while the service life of cat eye road studs is at least 5 years. Therefore, the cat eye road stud has played a great role in the road construction of Yong’an City, and has been highly praised by the people.
