Evaluation of the efficiveness of reflective accessories in conditions of the actual use – results of the original study

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of the study on the photometric properties for selected reflective accessories, conducted with the use of the standard method described in PN-EN 13356: 2004 as well as the method used in simulating realistic condition of the use of reflective accessories. For this purpose the standard goniometer was replaced by a half-mannequin. Results of the study were used to verify the effectiveness of visibility of reflective accessories in conditions simulating their actual use after having them attached to clothing. The article also discusses limitations of the use of these accessories, recommendations regarding the minimum area of their attachment and ways of their proper attachment to clothing in order to achieve adequate visibility.
