Abstract:

For the people who are in traffic, or travelling by foot or by bicycles, and who need to be noticed in the traffic, it is possible to recognize them after sunset with the help of some tools. These awareness devices may be reflector-specific and hand-held devices, as well as some pointing devices that are placed in the position where they are located, or in the case where they are in motion. The feature of reflector operationalizes by using or directing the incoming light. Therefore, it should light on the object. The lights used by the vehicles in traffic illuminate the way. However, the reflector feature will be ineffective if there is a defect in the lighting equipment, or in the absence of illumination of vehicles or if there is no source of light in the way the pedestrians are travelling. For this reason, an alternative to the reflector feature can be used by integrating a solar panel on the outfit. As long as the sun is effective, the energy obtained is stored in a battery, and finally it uses stored energy by using a light source that is also self-luminous on the outfit. The design of the outfit should be in such a way that there is a section of reflector feature and a section that gives light enough to be noticed. It is therefore possible to make heating with a control mechanism, and resistance, which can be integrated according to the efficiency ratio of the energy obtained and without ergonomics of the garment intact.
