Significance and Use5.1 The chromaticity of the stripe is determined by means ofthe tristimulus values X, Y and Z for the

17、CIE 1931 (2) standardobserver for CIE standard illuminantA, which are converted tothe chromaticity coordinates (x, y) and shown in the CIE 1931(x, y)-chromaticity diagram. Refer to Practice E308.5.2 Under the same conditions of illumination and viewing,the chromaticity coordinates (x, y) represent t

18、he nighttimecolor of pavement markings in vehicle headlamp illuminationas seen by drivers of the vehicles.5.3 The chromaticity of pavement (road) markings maychange with traffic wear and require periodic measurement toensure that the chromaticity is maintained within boundaries(see Specification D66

19、28 for examples of color boundaries).5.4 As specified by CEN EN 1436 and Test Method E1710,the measurement geometry of the instrument is based on aviewing distance of 30 m, a headlamp mounting height of 0.65m and an eye height of 1.2 m.5.5 It shall be the responsibility of the user to employ aninstr

20、ument having the specified observation and entranceangles.6. Apparatus6.1 Portable Retroreflection Colorimeter:6.1.1 The retroreflection colorimeter shall be portable, withthe capability to be placed on various horizontal pavementmarkings in different locations.6.1.2 The retroreflection colorimeter

21、shall be constructed sothat placement on the highway pavement markings will pre-clude any stray light entering the measurement area of theinstrument and affecting the reading. This may be done byshielding against stray light, or by subtraction of the stray lightreading, or both. Alternatively, the r

22、etroreflection colorimetershall produce a warning signal when stray light could affect thereading.6.1.3 For the convenience of the user, a marking shall beplaced on the instrument to permit it to be aligned with thedirection of traffic, or the instrument design shall itself indicatethe measuring dir

24、hall demonstrate thecapability to repeatably and reproducibly measure values of thecoefficient of retroreflected luminance over the range from 100to 2000 mcdm-2lx-1to within 10 % of the assigned value. Inexceptional cases, RLvalues can be even higher, up to 3000mcdm-2lx-1.6.3.2 The retroreflection c

25、olorimeter shall provide X, Y andZ tristimulus values according to the CIE 1931 (2) colormatching functions. The retroreflection colorimeter must beable to apply illumination condition correction for CIE illumi-nant A, and may either be a tristimulus colorimeter or aspectrocolorimeter.6.3.2.1 A tris

26、timulus colorimeter may have filters that canbe inserted individually in front of a receiver to providematches of the combined spectral distribution of the illumina-tion and the spectral responsivity of the receiver to thecombined spectral distribution of CIE illuminantAand the CIE1931 (2) x(), y()

27、and z() color-matching functions, respec-tively. The x() function has two distinct lobes. This may bedealt with by splitting x() into xshort() and xlong(), each witha separate filter. The filters may be manually or automaticallyoperated.6.3.2.2 A spectrocolorimeter may measure the spectral re-flecta

28、nce in equal wavelength steps covering at least thewavelength range from 400 to 700 nm, with a maximum halfpower bandwidth of 10 nm in maximum step increment of 10nm and from these data derive X, Y and Z tristimulus values.NOTE 1It is expected that a future version of this test method willinclude me

29、asurement of pavement marking chromaticity under lightingsystems other than tungsten approximating CIE standard illuminantA. Forsome of these, a 5 nanometer half power bandwidth and 5 nanometerincrement is recommended.NOTE 2Use of filters provides larger signals than measurement of thespectral distr

32、source and receiver, andlinearity.6.4 Measurement Geometry:6.4.1 The measurement geometry shall comply with re-quirements of Test Method E1710, Measurement Geometrysection.7. Standardization and Procedure7.1 The instrument will either require an external blackstandard or it will incorporate an inter

33、nal black standard orsome other internal means of zeroing.7.1.1 If the instrument standardization requires a blackstandard then the black standard shall have virtually noretroreflection over the range of wavelengths for the visibleE2367 05 (2014)2part of the spectrum. The black standard may be a bla

34、ck glassor a light trap. For some instruments, the black standard may bean unobstructed free path obtained by a lift or a tilt of theinstrument.7.2 A portable instrument with a tristimulus colorimeter,refer to 6.3.2, can be calibrated using a black standard (ifrequired) and one, two, three or more i

35、nstrument standardsconsisting of separate panels or other instruments standards.7.2.1 The instrument standard(s) shall have known andreproducible XS, YSand ZStristimulus values measured at thesame geometry as used in the portable instrument.Alternatively, the values of YSand the (x, y) chromaticityc

36、oordinates may be known instead of the tristimulus values.NOTE 3Some instruments measure RLin addition to the chromaticitycoordinates (x, y), and for these instruments YSshould be in the scale ofRL.7.2.2 The producer of the instrument shall provide thesoftware needed to guide the user through the ca

37、librationprocedure and to obtain the chromaticity values (x, y) from themeasurements.7.2.3 The accuracy of the measurement depends in particu-lar on the quality of the match of the filters described in 6.3.2.Additional factors are signal to noise ratio and other matters.7.2.4 Use of three suitable i

38、nstrument standards may lead toa more accurate determination of the chromaticity of white andyellow pavement markings than use of only one instrumentstandard. Use of more than three standards may furtherimprove the accuracy for white and yellow road markings, ormay extend the applicability of the in

39、strument to more colors.NOTE 4A convenient choice of three instrument standards is a whitetilted reflection standard, either without any filter in front, or covered witha yellow or an amber long pass absorption filter with pass wavelengths of515 nm and 550 nm, respectively. Such instrument standards

40、 havetypically (x, y) coordinates as shown in Fig. 1.7.3 Aportable instrument with a spectrocolorimeter, refer to6.3.2, can be standardized using a black standard (if required)and one instrument standard.7.3.1 The instrument standard shall have a spectral distri-bution of reflected power PSimeasured

41、 at the same geometry,and at the same wavelengths, as used in the portable instru-ment.7.3.2 The producer of the instrument shall provide thesoftware needed to guide the user through the calibrationprocedure and to obtain the chromaticity values (x, y) from themeasurements.NOTE 5The spectrum Mbof th

42、e black standard (if required) and thespectrum Miof the instrument standard are measured, the resultingspectrum MSi=MiMbis formed and a spectrum of calibration factorsFiis formed by Fi=PSi/MSi. When a spectrum Mihas been measured fora pavement marking, the spectrum of reflected power Piof the paveme

43、ntmarking is determined by Pi=Fi(MiMb). The tristimulus values X, Yand Z are determined by weighted summations of Pi, using the spectraldistributions of CIE standard illuminant A and of the x(), y() and z()color-matching functions, respectively, as weights.7.3.3 The accuracy of the measurement depen

44、ds on wave-length accuracy, signal to noise ratio and other matters.7.3.4 Asuitable choice of the instrument standard is a whitetilted reflection standard, which provides a fairly strong signalfor all wavelengths of the measured spectrum Mi.7.4 Note that transporting the instrument from an air con-d

45、itioned area to the test site may result in fogging of mirrors orglass surfaces (if any) in the instrument. If there is any doubtconcerning the calibration or the readings are not constant,allow the instrument to reach ambient conditions and recali-brate with the instrument standard(s).FIG. 1 Exampl

Record these readings.8.1.6 Place the retroreflection colorimeter squarely on thepavement marking material, ensur

The reading direction of the retroreflection colorim-eter shall be placed in the direction of traffic. Readings shall betaken for each direction of traffic separately for centerlines.8.1.7 Record the retroreflection colorimeter readings, andthen move to other locations on the sample set separatedsufficiently to provide meaningful data (typically 1 meter), andrecord the results.
