PolyComp can now add LED Road Studs to its already impressive range
of LED products for road safety.
Core Features
Studies carried out by the Transport Research
Laboratory U.K shows that Solar road studs provide the driver a ten-fold
increase in visibility of the layout of the road ahead. At a speed of
100km/h they give drivers over thirty seconds to react to road conditions
compared with just 3.2 seconds for conventional retro reflective units.
This has been proved to reduce the number of accidents and save lives.
Research carried out by the Transport Research Laboratory shows that
when the smart solar road studs are used, drivers are significantly
less likely to cross the white line in the centre of a road or move
out of lane on a two-way road. The studs reduce the use of headlight
main beam and the risk of dazzling oncoming drivers. There are additional
benefits in reduced visibility (rain and fog) where traditional retro-reflectors
and road markings are less visible. Illuminated studs mean that road
delineation remains visible even under these conditions. Solar flush
studs are more robust and durable than traditional units. They therefore
have a lower whole-life cost than a retro-reflective road stud. The
Intelligent Solar Road Studs can provide delineation without streetlights.
10 Years Free Maintenance
Our Solar Road Studs have extremely long life cycles due to usage of
Capacitors instead of batteries that have limited life span (MTBF) and
require more frequent maintenance. The savings are in the cost of the
units replacement and re-installation in the road.
