Popis: This study aims to prepare the self-luminous pavement marking (SLPM) to enhance driving safety and reduce the risk of traffic accident. Firstly, the composition of the SLPM was determined by the mechanical properties and luminous performance tests. The optimal mass proportions of epoxy resin, toughening agent, curing agent, curing accelerator, luminous powder, reflective powder, glass bead and glass powder was 1.0:0.1:0.3:0.006:0.4:0.3:0.25:0.55. In addition, test results showed that the SLPM has satisfactory mechanical properties, durability and luminous performance, which met the engineering requirements for practical application. The afterglow time was more than 11 h at night in laboratory test. Moreover, it is feasible to prepare different colors of the SLPM according to the RGP principle. The afterglow color and luminous intensity of SLPM strongly depend on the luminous material and its proportions. Overall, this paper provides a reference for designing and applying SLPM materials in road engineering.
