% Share in Accidents % Share in Fatalities
 Heavy vehicles are involved in disproportionate number of traffic accidents

 More than 33% of all vehicular accidents happen in night, while only 20% of all vehicular traffic travel during that time
Road Accidents in India – The Major Reasons
Non Visibility of vehicles in low light
Improper guidance & warning systems
Black Spots
Over Speeding
Drunken Driving
Not Following Traffic Signals
Lack of lane delineation
 Visibility at night causes the increase in accident numbers.

Smarter Traffic, Safety & Mobility.

- Developing intelligent solutions for improved road safety in India

A Proven Solution – Retro reflective Conspicuity Tape
 Vehicles are visible in the day time, but disappear in the night
 Roughly half of all accidents occur due to poor visibility in the night
 Conspicuity tape enhances vehicle recognition and gives drivers more time to react
REAR MARKING PLATES – COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
Safety feature to increase visibility of certain
heavy and long motor vehicles, trailers and
semi-trailers etc.
Standard : AIS 089

CMVR Rule : 104
Category of vehicles included as per AIS 089
 Trailer & Semi-Trailers – T1, T2, T3 & All T4.
 Tractors and Heavy Trucks – N3 and N2 with
maximum mass exceeding 7.5 Tons
- Increase visibility of all heavy vehicles at night.

Effectiveness of Conspicuity Retro Reflective Marking on Vehicles to Reduce Accidents
International Studies:
 US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
The introduction of mandatory retro-reflective tape has reduced side impact collisions with HGVs by around 17%. They also report that the side and rear impact crashes reduce by 41%.
 US Fire Administration/ US Department of Homeland Security
It seems clear that properly applied/maintained retro reflective sheeting materials can effectively increase the night-time visibility and conspicuity of treated objects.
 University of Darmstadt
37% of all side collisions with trucks at night occurred because they were seen too late. Across the European Union, 95% of all side and rear collisions with heavy vehicles at night could be avoided
with use of retro-reflective truck markings.
 Australian Transport Safety Bureau
Increasing the conspicuity of locomotives would cost far less than providing active treatments at all the passive crossings
REAR MARKING PLATES SPECIFICATIONS

Various fixing mechanism can be used-

 Bolting
 Aluminum Rivets
 Double Sided Bonding Tapes
Substrate requirement –
 Rigidity
 Deflection
Substrates offered –
 Aluminum – 1.5 mm, 2 mm
 ACP – 3mm, 4 mm
Steps Involved:
Check Post Enforcement Program • Issue of Notifications/Circulars
• Training of applicators
 Most effective way to enforce application of Conspicuity tapes
on vehicles (as per CMVR 104) – Check Post Program
 Successful programs conducted in Gujarat, Uttarakhand &

Odisha
• Application of conspicuity under the
 Proven increase in adherence to CMVR rules
supervision of Motor Vehicle inspectors
 Notifications:
• Inspection by Motor Vehicle Inspectors
Gujarat Uttarakhand Odisha

WHY THERE IS NEED FOR STANDARD / EFFECTIVE PRODUCTS ?
Proven Public Benefits of Increased vehicle visibility
 Significant reduction in number of accidents
 Prevention of loss of lives
 Prevention of injury
 Prevention of loss of property
 Less traffic jams
 Less community costs in general
