Abstract:This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of adapting a bio or chemiluminescent system for use in a highway marker for wet-night lane delineation. The study involved a literature survey and theoretical evaluation of systems reported in the literature, limited laboratory verification and investigation of the visibility problem. Recommendations for further research and development are presented based on this preliminary work. The chemiluminescent reaction of siloxene derivatives is recommended because it is expected that this system can be placed in a solid matrix and activated in rainy weather by diffusion of water through a bed of solid oxidizer. The siloxene system is cheaper and more readily adaptable to use in a highway marker than several bio or chemiluminescent systems evaluated.
