According
to the European statistical data on traffic accidents, it
has been noted that heavy goods vehicles are very dangerous
in road traffic due to their dimensions and their rather low
speed.
Illustration:
A vehicle in broad daylight, at night without any plates
and markers, and at night with dimension plates and contour
markers
Therefore the international community has radically increased
the norm for the minimum quantity of luminous intensity, in
order to enable better visibility of such hazardous vehicles
driving in front, especially under difficult road conditions.
Furthermore, the international community has been elaborating
additional programs to increase road safety for heavy goods
vehicles, trailers, buses and coaches, vans, etc. This includes
the elaboration of contour marking pursuant to the norm ECE R 104. Our company has been homologated
as the only manufacturer of such markers in Croatia.
A
study of the German Federal Ministry of Transport has proved
that the contour markers attached to vehicles decrease the
number of crashes and collisions from behind by 41 percent
and from the side by 37 percent
