Road vertical signs - Variable message traffic signs
This European Standard provides specifications for two types of variable message signs (VMS); i.e. continuous (see 3.4) and discontinuous (see 3.7).
This European Standard covers mobile, temporary and permanently installed VMS used in circulation areas, on public and private land, including tunnels for the information, guidance, warning and/or direction of traffic. Test modules are used to demonstrate compliance with the requirements.
This European Standard specifies visual and physical characteristics of VMS as well as their durability aspects. It also provides relevant requirements and corresponding test methods, assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) and marking.
NOTE Provisions for the evaluation of conformity with regards to type testing are further specified in 6.2; provisions with regards to factory production control (FPC) are further specified in 6.3.
This European Standard does not cover
a) sign gantries, cantilevers, posts (supports) and foundations,
b) signal heads,
c) sizes and shapes of VMS messages,
d) control units and monitoring units unless inside the VMS,
e) control of sign luminance.
Vertikale Verkehrszeichen - Wechselverkehrszeichen
Diese Europäische Norm enthält Festlegungen zu zwei Arten von Wechselverkehrszeichen (WVZ); d. h. zu kontinuierlichen (siehe 3.4) und disnicht kontinuierlichen (siehe 3.7) Wechselverkehrszeichen.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt mobile, temporäre und dauerhaft aufgestellte WVZ, die auf Verkehrs¬flächen, auf öffentlichem oder privatem Gelände, einschließlich in Tunneln, zur Information, als Leitlinie, Warnhinweis und/oder Richtungsanzeige aufgestellt werden. Prüfmodule werden verwendet, um die Überein¬stimmung mit den Anforderungen nachzuweisen.
Diese Europäische Norm legt die visuellen und physikalischen Merkmale von WVZ sowie deren Dauerhaftig-keitsaspekte fest. Sie enthält außerdem die maßgeblichen Anforderungen und die entsprechenden Prüf¬verfahren, die Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP) und die Kennzeichnung.
ANMERKUNG Die Bestimmungen zur Bewertung der Konformität im Hinblick auf die Typprüfung werden ausführlicher in 6.2 beschrieben; Bestimmungen im Hinblick auf die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle (WPK) werden ausführlicher in 6.3 beschrieben.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt keine:
a) Schilderbrücken, Ausleger, Maste (Träger) und Fundamente;
b) Signalgeber;
c) Größen und Formen von WVZ-Zeicheninhalten;
d) Bedienungs und Überwachungseinheiten, es sei denn, sie befinden sich im WVZ;
e) Steuerung der Leuchtdichte von Verkehrszeichen.
Signaux de signalisation routière verticale - Panneaux à messages variable
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des spécifications pour les deux types de panneaux à messages variables (PMV) existants : les panneaux continus (voir 3.4) et les panneaux discontinus (voir 3.6).
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques visuelles et physiques des PMV ainsi que leurs aspects de durabilité. Elle fournit également les exigences pertinentes et les méthodes d'essai correspondantes, l'évaluation de conformité et le marquage.
La présente Norme européenne couvre les PMV utilisés dans les zones de circulation, sur terrain public ou privé, y compris les tunnels, pour fournir des informations, des indications de direction, des avertissements et/ou des directions. Des modules d'essai sont utilisés pour démontrer la conformité aux exigences.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas :
a) les portiques, potences, poteaux (supports) et fondations de panneaux,
b) les têtes de feux,
c) les tailles et les formes des messages des PMV,
d) les organes de contrôle et de surveillance à l'exception de ceux intégrés au module d'essai,
e) le contrôle de la luminance des panneaux.
Pokončni cestni znaki - Prometni znaki s spremenljivo vsebino
Ta dokument navaja zahteve in preskusne metode za nove prometne znake s spremenljivo vsebino (VMS). Prometni znaki s spremenljivo vsebino vključujejo dve vrsti znakov, neprekinjene in prekinjene: – neprekinjeni znaki so tisti, ki so podobni fiksnim znakom, le da lahko z nekaterimi elektro-mehanskimi sredstvi prikazujejo različna sporočila. OPOMBA 1 Na primer znaki, v katerih so uporabljene optične prizme, rolete. – prekinjeni znaki ustvarjajo sporočila z uporabo posameznih elementov, ki so lahko v eni od dveh oblik (ali več) in s tem ustvarjajo različna sporočila na isti površini znaka. OPOMBA 2 Na primer znaki z optičnimi vlakni, LED. Ta dokument zajema zahteve glede delovanja znakov s spremenljivo vsebino, ki se uporabljajo za navodila in usmerjanje udeležencev v cestnem prometu na javnih in zasebnih zemljiščih, vključno s predori. V tem dokumentu so obravnavane številne različne zahteve delovanja (vizualno delovanje, EMC, vpliv na okolje itd.) in tudi trajnost. V tem dokumentu so zahteve za EMC, varnost in zaščito okolja za obe vrsti prometnih znakov, skupaj z vizualnim delovanjem za prekinjene vrste prometnih znakov s spremenljivo vsebino. Vidno delovanje za neprekinjene in prekinjene znake, ki so osvetljeni od zunaj, je vključeno v standard EN 12899-1. Ta dokument določa omejitve in različne razrede delovanja za oba sklopa znakov brez vertikalne podpore in sklope skupaj z navpično podporo. Dokument ne zajema: a) podstavkov znakov, konzol in temeljev; b) prenosnih in začasnih prometnih znakov s spremenljivo vsebino; c) signalnih glav; d) velikosti in oblik sporočil znakov s spremenljivo vsebino; e) enot za nadzor in spremljanje, razen če so v preskusnem modulu.
