Abstract

Pavement marking is a necessary part of road infrastructure, and its nighttime retroreflective characteristics affect the visibility of the marking and the safety of drivers driving at high speed at night. We selected three highways with different retroreflective coefficients for field driving experiments, extracted the data with Tobii Pro spectacle software and performed analysis of variance; constructed the driving behavior matrix, calculated the weights and eigenvalues with CRITIC assignment method, and quantitatively analyzed the impact of road marking retroreflective performance on night driving safety. The study shows that the retroreflective performance of road markings on Weiqing and Jingtai Expressway meets the requirements of nighttime safe driving; the retroreflective performance of markings on Jinan Bypass Expressway is insufficient, which is a safety hazard for nighttime driving and needs to be maintained in time.
