A systematic review on retro-reflective clothing for night-time visibility and safety

Performance Quality of Braided e-Yarns for Pedestrian Interactive Textiles

“…Efforts have been made with material innovation, i.e., retro-reflective materials, which are effective in redirecting lights from their surfaces back to its source of origin [1]. Several studies by [2][3][4] have highlighted the ability of these retro-reflective materials to improve the visibility and recognition of the wearer on the road when they are placed as biomotion configurations on the clothing. Aside from this, lighting features, i.e., the use of light emitting diodes (LEDs), also play an important role in providing additional safety features which seek to improve the wearer's visibility and the response rate of the driver on the road.…”
