21、76-1 : 2000 + A1 : 2003IntroductionAnti-glare screens consist of manufactured equipment which reduces the glare of approaching headlights or ofother external light sources.Anti-glare screens are generally installed on public roads when it is considered beneficial to reduce the effect ofglare. Common

22、 situations where anti-glare screens may be used are as follows:a) in the central reservation of dual carriageway roads and motorways;b) between parallel or converging roads where traffic is travelling in opposing directions;c) glaring light sources reflecting on installations and buildings adjacent

23、 to the road;d) glaring light from installations and buildings adjacent to the road.Test methods for checking compliance with the performance requirements of this standard are given inEN 12676-2.1 ScopeThis Part of EN 12676 specifies the characteristics of an anti-glare screen in terms of its optica

24、l effectivenessand of the mechanical performance of its elements. It gives a method for the determination of the optical per-formance of anti-glare screens by calculation. Requirements and recommendations for the design of anti-glarescreens to minimize maintenance are also given.This Part of EN 1267

25、6 does not apply to: types of anti-glare screens other than those attached to safety barriers; regulatory characteristics which might be required to ensure that anti-glare screens are compatible withroad signs; specific requirements resulting from extreme environmental conditions experienced in some

26、 Europeancountries.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendm

30、N 12676, the following definitions apply:3.1 Occluding elementElement of the anti-glare screen blocking out light which would be distracting to road users.3.2 SupportElement onto which occluding elements are mounted.3.3 BaseStructure (safety barrier) to which the support is attached.3.4 Fixing eleme

31、ntComponent (e.g. screw and nut) that enables the fastening of the occluding elements onto the support, or thesupport onto its base.NOTE: The fixing elements of the anti-glare screen are part of the system.3.5 Light transmission factor, Ctithe proportion of incident light which passes through the an

32、ti-glare screen at a particular angle of incidence i.3.6 Limiting angle, lAngle of incidence below which incident light is completely blocked out by the anti-glare screen (Cti= 0).4 Requirements4.1 Design and fixationThe anti-glare screen design shall consist of occluding elements which are mounted

33、on a support (figure 1) ordirectly on the base. Anti-glare screens shall only be fixed in the lower part and shall be designed to be com-patible with safety barriers fulfilling the requirements of EN 1317-2.The complete fixed anti-glare screen, or parts of it, even fixing elements, may not project o

34、ver the edge of thesafety barrier. Nevertheless, it is allowed that the plastic parts of an anti-glare screen fixed on a concrete bar-rier may project up to 100 mm beyond the edge of the upper part of the barrier.4.2 MaintenanceHollow bodies shall be closed at the top in order to prevent any dirt, s

35、now and water from penetrating intothem and also to prevent birds from nesting inside.Anti-glare screens shall be designed in such a way to enable the replacement of any section of the systemwithout having to remove adjacent parts in any way.NOTE: Anti-glare screens should only require attention if

36、damaged by vehicle impact or by other unusuallysevere conditions. During its functional lifetime, it should resist minor impacts from stones.Page 5EN 12676-1 : 2000 + A1 : 20034.3 CharacteristicsIf accessibility is required, it shall fall into one of the two following categories.Category 1: designed

37、 to permit at any place the passage of personnel carrying stretchers from one side of thebase to the other without the need to remove a section of the anti-glare system.Category 2: not designed to permit access at any place, but requiring a section of the anti-glare system to beremoved to permit acc

38、ess.NOTE: This design may be appropriate in areas, such as urban areas, where it is desirable to prevent pedestri-ans climbing over the base. This category of anti-glare screens should permit sections to be removed byemergency service personnel.4.4 Durability4.4.1 Synthetic materialsThe durability o

39、f the synthetic materials shall be verified by testing the impact strength of specimens before andafter ageing in accordance with EN 12676-2. When new, the relative difference between the values of tensileimpact strength obtained at temperatures of (23 3) C and (30 3) C shall not exceed 15 %. After

40、ageing,the tensile impact test values shall be more than 80 % of their initial values for each of the tested specimens at(23 3) C and at (30 3) C.Only ductile fractures are acceptable.4.4.2 Metallic elementsMetallic elements of the anti-glare screen shall be made of, or coated with, corrosion resist

41、ant materials. Dura-bility shall be assessed in accordance with EN 12676-2. Parts which are made of, or coated with, syntheticmaterials shall be aged by the process described in EN 12676-2 before being tested. Hot-dip galvanized steelcomponents shall conform to ISO 1459 and ISO 1461.4.5 Effectivenes

42、s with respect to glare4.5.1 GeneralThe anti-glare screen shall reduce the level of light that would otherwise dazzle road users, as described below.It shall be effective over its full height, i.e. from the upper edge of the base on which it is mounted. However, amaximum gap of 20 mm is admissible b

43、etween the upper edge of the base and the bottom edge of the supportor of the occluding elements.Two types of products are distinguished: those designed in order to “block out all the incident rays”. They have to comply with the geometricalcondition tan l 0,33. This condition is to be checked by cal

44、culation (4.5.2); those which do not comply with the condition tan l 0,33, designed in order to “block out partially theincident rays”. They have to fulfil the threshold value indicated in 4.5.3. This characteristic is to be de-termined by testing (4.5.3).NOTE: The height of the anti-glare screen de

45、pends on general conditions, such as the relative levels of vehicleheadlights and the eyes of the drivers in the opposing traffic directions. The main factors to be consideredare the height of these above the road and their distance to the anti-glare screens. However, it might not bepossible in ever

46、y situation to completely eliminate the effect of glare because of conflicting road geometry.Annex A provides examples of the heights of anti-glare screens needed to block out light for a number oftypical cases.Page 6EN 12676-1 : 2000 + A1 : 20034.5.2 Verification by calculationBecause of the way th

47、ey are constructed, some systems totally block out the incident rays up to a limit anglel. For elements perpendicular to the axis of installation, this angle may be found by calculating its tangentusing the following equation:tan l= DLwhere:D is the distance between two occluding elements;L is the w

48、idth of an occluding element.If L is not constant, it shall be obtained by dividing the surface area resulting from the projection of an occlud-ing element on a vertical plane perpendicular to the direction of the axis of installation of the system, by theheight of the occluding element (see figure

49、2).If tan lis not less than 0,33, verification in accordance with 4.5.3 is not necessary.4.5.3 Verification by testingThis verification is be made where tan lis less than 0,33.The level of screening produced by the anti-glare system for an angle of incidence i is given by the transmis-sion factor Ctiwhere i is the angle between the axis of the system and the direction of the incident ray.Ctishall be determined in accordance with EN 12676-2.The maximum acceptable values of Ctishall be as follows:a) fo
