Measurement method for the luminance coefficient under diffuse illumination Qd A.1 Introduction Equipment for the measurement of the luminance coefficient under diffuse illumination Qd of a field of a road marking includes an illumination system, a photometer and means to define a horizontal reference plane with a reference centre. Laboratory measurements are used to establish Qd values for samples, which are to be used to test or calibrate in situ equipment. The reference plane and the reference centre are defined by means of a sample holder and an alignment procedure. The diffuse illumination can be provided in a photometric sphere. A light source is mounted in the sphere in such a way, that direct illumination falls only on the lower half of the sphere. By reflection and inter-reflection, the upper half of the sphere has a close approximation to a uniform luminance. The reference plane is the horizontal plane through the centre of the sphere and the reference centre is the centre of the sphere. In some cases, samples can be as short as 20 cm. Samples used to test or calibrate portable instruments need to be at least 40 cm long, while samples used to test or calibrate vehicle mounted equipment need to be longer. For some structured road markings, fairly long samples are required. A practical width of samples is often 20 cm. A sample should be backed by a substrate to assist handling and should show a non-deformed surface of the road marking. The sample can either be laid directly onto the substrate, or it can be taken from a road and adhered to the substrate. Portable instruments are intended for the measurement of Qd values of road markings on the road, but may be used to measure Qd values of road marking materials on sample panels before placing them on the road. A portable instrument integrates the photometer and the illumination system. The reference plane and the reference centre is defined by feet of the instrument. When measuring a structured road marking with a portable instrument, it is necessary to establish if the instrument in question is able to measure the structured road marking with the actual height of structures and gaps between these. The Qd value is established as the average of a number of readings taken with shifts of the instrument in steps along the marking, in total covering one or more spacing of structures. Vehicle mounted instruments are used to measure Qd values of road markings while moving at traffic speed, and can be used for longer stretches of road than portable instruments and in cases where the use of portable instruments requires extensive precautions, in particular on motorways.

¬ s r ¹ä A.4 Practical applications of measuring equipment The equipment shall have sufficient sensitivity and range to accommodate Qd values expected in use, typically
s to the maximum of approximately
u s z mcdbm-2blx-1 of Qd values shall be adequate for the purpose. The sensitivity, range and linearity of portable instruments may be tested by means of suitable samples. The equipment shall be able to cope with the conditions expected in use such as stray light entering from the surroundings. Portable instruments are used in conditions of full daylight and shall be constructed so that readings are not affected by ambient light in these conditions. Some instruments may need to inform the operators by warnings or error messages if necessary. Offset by stray light in daylight conditions may be tested by measurement in full daylight, where readings obtained without additional cover of an instrument are compared to readings obtained with additional cover by a black cloth or other obstructions about the instrument. Portable instruments may be tilted and shifted in height relative to the road marking surface because of texture and curve of road markings on the road, particles on the surface and structure of structured road markings.

Using a non-glossy surface, the measured Qd value shall not change by more than ± 15 %, when the height position is shifted from '0 mm' to -1 mm, 1 mm and 2 mm. Other height positions may be included to demonstrate the ability of an instrument to measure road markings with extreme texture, in particular structured road markings. NOTE When an instrument is able to perform at a height position H, it is able to measure structured road markings when the structure height is at most H or the gaps between structures is at most 25 × H. For vehicle mounted equipment, some allowances compared to the standard measuring condition of A.3 have to be accepted for technical reasons. These include: — the observation angle
cannot always stay within the tolerance indicated in A.3 as seen from any point within the measured area, — the angular spread of the measuring directions cannot always stay within the tolerance indicated in A.3 as seen from any point within the measured area, — for particular applications, for instance when it is desirable to measure road markings to both the left and the right of the vehicle simultaneouslyá the side angle may exceed
¬ w ¹á but due to additional uncertainty of measurement the side angle shall in no case exceed
¬ s r ¹ä A.5 Calibration of measuring equipment For laboratory measurement on road marking panels placed in a photometric sphere, direct calibration is obtained by mounting the photometer at the reference centre with an orientation towards the upper 318 mcdbm-2blx-1. The photometer can then be used to measure the Qd values of the road marking panels directly in mcdbm-2blx-1. Direct calibration is suitable, when the luminance of the upper part of the sphere is perfectly constant. Else, indirect calibration by means of a standard sample with a known Qd value, measured with direct calibration or with another traceable calibration technique may be preferable. The 'sample' may be a curved mirror or another optical system that gives a view to the upper part of the sphere. A portable instrument shall be calibrated by means of a traceable standard sample with a known Qd value. Independent calibration of the standard sample shall be possible. A transfer standard may be used for routine tests of the calibration in order to avoid frequent handling of the standard in road conditions. A.6 Uncertainty of measurement NOTE 1 The concept of 'uncertainty of measurement' is the overall concept that involves both, trueness (or bias) and precision (repeatability and reproducibility). Some level of trueness can be assured indirectly by use of measuring equipment, which complies with A.2 to A.5, when also limiting the use to the range of applicability of the particular equipment. Precision can be determined by conventional means according to the definitions. NOTE 2 Ideally, trueness could be established by means of road marking panels with accepted reference values measured in laboratory conditions. However, laboratory measurements are not presently sufficiently developed. SIST EN 1436:2018
