Miss Switzerland in reflective clothing for road safety

Switzerland Work prevention takes on glamorous accents in the canton.

To show that you can combine style and security by making yourself visible in traffic, Miss Switzerland 2016 Lauriane Sallin marched on Saturday in a design dress with reflective material patterns.

 

This garment was made especially for the occasion by the School of couture of Freiburg. The cantonal police, invited to the Freiburg Fair, took the opportunity to unveil the Friborg grassroots version of the national “See You” campaign.

 

In Read invented by Teads

The Accident Prevention Office (BPA) is a partner in this campaign. The watchword for all road users is: seeing and being seen. On the Friborg side, the police will distribute 5,000 flyers and 3,500 reflective fabric bags.

 

Visible at 140 meters

The flyer particularly calls for pedestrians and cyclists to wear reflective clothing rather than dark clothes. This makes it possible to be located at more than 140 meters instead of 25 meters. It should not be visible on one side, but at 360 degrees.

 

Seek eye contact with other users before maneuvering to avoid accidents. Cyclists should not forget to turn on the headlights according to the visibility conditions. And they must clearly indicate the changes of direction.

 

Advice is also given to motorcyclists and motorists, such as wearing a safety vest, paying attention to blind spots, and keeping headlights, windows and mirrors clean. And for all users: avoid being distracted by the mobile phone.

New project with reflective fabric for car

Is there any ways that drivers can see people clearly even they are not wearing safety vest. What if there was a way to make the transparent cockpit? This is the project that has studied Japanese researchers.

 

That would greatly facilitate accidents! At present, the vision of the driver’s field is restricted by the vehicle doors, the back seat and all body parts. In the future, the driver could get an unobstructed 360-degree view.

 

An augmented reality device was developed by students of design department at Keio University. For a complete field of vision behind the vehicle, the students set a camera on the back of the car. Thereof is connected to a computer, which also has coupling a projector. The captured image is then projected against a mirror and then reflected on the back seat. The latter has indeed a Reflective fabric.

 

There are at present vehicles with a trunk on board camera projecting the image on a screen on the dashboard. This new experience, however, aims at providing a display full size of the car environment. The rear seats disappear so completely.

 

Certainly, unless the rear passengers are dressed in the same fabric, they will hide the reflective material part, but a single device can be set up on the side doors, front or rear, to ignore the blind spots.

in the winter, they stand out for their reflective material

“One of the milder winters we have experienced in France.” That’s a refrain that keeps coming up in recent weeks. In both heady and intoxicating for a cyclist in reflective vest, it’s happy to give up chocolate. Usually in keeping with the period, these dishes are already replaced by the energy bar, energy drink and asphalt. For us cyclists’ friends, partying resumes differently. In our famous new regions, temperatures do not climb all the same. The parallel is simple and Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy, the trend is heavy sprinter André. The wind, humidity reign, he does not do well out. “This is the North” as well said the late Michel. But the passion remains stronger when you think to hedge. Let them!

 

Aesthetically, because even the winter everyone wants to be beautiful on the bike, this accessory is simply elegant. No more black or plain white classic, bicolor Castelli goes with the combination of black and gray, all identified by the red zippers and borders. The discrete seams and inscriptions “Castelli” blend perfectly with a well finished product.

 

For if appearance is important, comfort and performance are more. These leggings are certainly bicolor, but are mostly bi-material. We said: right now, the roads are wet. Alone or in a pack, each spin is synonymous with splashes coming wet our ankles. To remedy this, Castelli cleverly thought of installing a gray waterproof reflective material to keep us dry. The result is the appointment because we have felt no moisture in the ankles during our tests.

 

Nevertheless, we must admit that this textile, stiffer than, not as nice as the black top leggings. Difficult when it is winter Flex waterproof with a soft inner fleece. Indeed, the waterproof fabric covers only the ankle. The entire joint is she wrapped the soft fabric, comfortable to the point of becoming a second skin. Thus, the bending is done without gene when pedaling cycle. Furthermore, this part waterproof fabric and the holding strips Giro3 the top of the pad ensures impeccable maintenance, even proof terrible Hell of the North pavers. At the time of coating the product, the zipper located on the outside of the ankle makes it easier and compensates the rigidity of the fabric. The performance gain of the pad thus alters its comfort. Similarly, the main function of protection from the cold is accomplished.

 

Another advantage is to signify security side. In this time, its gray, the rain comes sometimes weaken the visibility and brightness down quickly in the afternoon. It is therefore important for us cyclists, to better inform us of other road users. We all agree: a lighting kit disfigures our beautiful bikes. The manufacturer has embedded in the waterproof fabric of fine crystals making the reflective fabric.

 

In summary, leggings are effective, intelligent and beautiful. But who says high-end product, says very high price. Their price varies between 80 and 90 Euros depending traders and are available in four sizes (S, M, L, and XL). In this regard, we recommend carefully check the size guide. To conclude, we cannot assure that: the leggings are pledges of satisfactions.

Reflective elements should be commonplace for pedestrians

The law not only thinks on motorists who must be from November 1 under the circumstances winter tires. Reflective material must be wearing pedestrians, who move in poor visibility on the road outside the village. Policemen but recommend wearing reflective elements for all pedestrians, not just those affected by the amendment to the Road Traffic Act of February this year touches.

 

That’s how it looked this morning at one of Karvina. Longer waiting period is annually subject to the obligation from November 1 for the winter in conditions which clearly stipulated by law. A continuous layer of snow has not yet appeared, but the potential danger of frost. They must have all year to wear reflective material.

 

Miroslav Kolatek, spokesperson for the Czech Police Karvina: “It’s not enough he only put on the strap of her purse, which is then hidden in the armpit, but keeps it visible on his hands, on foot, or on a cap or jacket so that it is visible to other participants.”

 

Wear reflective fabric in the village is not mandatory, but police wearing all pedestrians are recommended.

A spokesman for the PCR Karvina: “They increase their visibility and thereby contribute to their safety.”

 

A poll pedestrian: “I am a driver, so I know that I wear. I have the tape. “” I’m too pale dress. “” I do not wear them because when it’s dark, I’m home. “” Unfortunately, I have, as you see. “” I do not wear because they do not have it. I have to take it. ”

 

All walkers should be aware that if a man wearing dark clothes, a driver registers in reduced visibility to twenty meters. The white color is visible up to 55 meters. In doing so, the ideal distance for the reaction is 200 meters. And it guarantees only reflective accessory.

After Gas Car Explosion Fire Departments review their protective clothing

August 15 last year, when in Rohlstorf the gas tank of a crashed car exploded and ten firefighters were injured, showed once again how important good protective reflective clothing for emergency responders. The volunteer fire departments were then in many places already into the years having come and pants checked and replaced.

 

Other fire fighters like Jan, fire chief in bulk, want the trade fair “Inter protection” be used for further information about modern protective clothing to June 13 will be held from 8th in Hannover. The fact that the purchase of expensive protective clothing is something completely different than times just briefly go into a store and buy a pair of jeans, Segeberg firefighters is the example of the bath significantly. “In master’s theses are written. For years we breed already about what is the right protective clothing for us. We must not forget, finally, that such a purchase a large financial expenditure, “says Bad Segeberg fire Chief Mark Zielinski.

 

Not only that range of manufacturers is great – the price. The cheapest protective clothing (jacket and pants), which may be used exclusively for the technical assistance is to have for 500 Euros. On average, however, the municipalities with 1200 Euros per protective pants and associated safety jacket for firefighters are. Up the price segment is open.

 

“Only protective clothing that fits properly can also protect reasonable. Are the sleeves too short, it may cause an injury, “says platoon leader Sven (39), which is also active in the ABC-train the District Fire Brigade Association. Three years took he and his colleagues Fire Department until they had decided on the sand-colored protective clothing from the Austrian manufacturer.

 

“The color we have chosen because of the better day visibility and because it soot and other contaminants are much more visible,” said Ehmke.

 

Nearly all manufacturers equip their garment made with membranes welded to the outside, rainwater not let in. However, the reflective strips were always a problem. Most companies use this plastic, which is manufactured without appropriate membranes. The downside: Among the reflective strips Condensation collects.

Many other factors play an important role in choosing the manufacturer. One factor is the color. The ABC-train the District Fire Brigade Association had chosen years ago for the color red to be recognizable as ABC train immediately. Only this particular field of use, the signal color is red but not reserved. Currently, the Bad Segeberg firefighters toying also with the red of the ABC-turn in which the vehicles of Bad Segeberg firefighters are painted. Fire chief Mark Zielinski: “Decided we have not yet. But for me firefighters are red. ”

 

Wahlstedt relies on visibility

For train drivers Sven (39) has the sand-colored clothing use Wahlstedter firefighters the advantage that contamination and damage are much more visible than in darker turnout gear. Three years has got the military needed to choose a manufacturer and this color. To protective clothing, it differs only in the outer reflective fabric.

 

Firemen Red for NBC train

Robin (22) carries the red turnout gear the ABC train of Segeberg District Fire Brigade Association. It was purchased several years ago, when almost all fire departments were still equipped with blue protective clothing. Meanwhile, the Volunteer Fire Bad Segeberg has his eye on the jackets and pants in the traditional “Fire Department Red”.

Blue is the color of Rohlstorfer

Fire chief Stephan Kuhn (35) has chosen with his comrades blue turnout gear for firefighters Rohlstorf. The injuries of Rohlstorfer firefighters at the LPG accidents have shown the importance of protective clothing for the task forces. The accident prompted to check their own equipment and renew for many municipalities and fire departments.

Visible on the way to school with their reflective satchels

For this school year, parents should incorporate a host of parameters to well equip their offspring. And the binder is an essential element. Furthermore the weight distribution of books and the back support in the child, the issue of visibility on the way to school is also crucial.

In Germany, the legislator has long taken the lead. A law requires manufacturers to equip the back and sides schoolbags at least 10% of reflective material. Moreover, the bag must comprise at least 20% of fluorescent materials. “Every year, road safety advocates buying retro-reflective tape to paste on school bags,” explains the director of road safety, Isabelle.

“We also run a campaign with small snowmen to hang bag back of reflective fabric or elsewhere. They are sold to municipalities which then distribute to their students, “she says. The presence of reflective surfaces on the satchel or clothing can identify a silhouette to 150 meters in the dark. A big difference because the car lights will allow seeing a figure at 30 meters.
