    Abstract
  • The retroreflection coefficients of 230 traffic sign retroreflective sheetings set in Beijing test site of Ministry of Transport were observed continuously for thirteen years.The prediction models of attenuation values for the retroreflection coefficients of traffic sign retroreflective sheetings with different colors and types were built.The attenuation law of retroreflection coefficient with set time was analyzed.Analysis result shows that the prediction models of attenuation values for the retroreflection coefficient of white typesⅠ-Ⅲretroreflective sheetings are cubic function, logarithmic function and cubic function models respectively, and the determination coefficients are 0.581, 0.732 and 0.559 respectively.The variation amplitudes of attenuation rate for retroreflection coefficient of red types Ⅰ-Ⅲ retroreflective sheetings are 16.0%, 28.0% and 42.0% respectively, and the variation amplitudes of attenuation rates for retroreflection coefficients of retroreflective sheetings with other colors are less than 21%.So, the quadratic function and cubic function models of attenuation values for retroreflection coefficients have better fitting property, there are significant differences among attenuation laws of retroreflection coefficients for retroreflective sheetings with different colors and types, and theattenuation slows down with increase of set time.
