Dark athletes need reflective jacket

Recent studies highlight how “I have not seen it” is the main cause of incident for those who move on foot, bike or motorcycle in the city without wearing reflective vest.

Starting from this consideration, the French start-up, Urban Circus, has made Jongleur a jacket designed precisely to avoid unnoticed passage.

The starting point seems to be that of a normal aviator bomber that went to the bigger in the ’90s, so double-face, to which they added a hood and orange cover on a hyper-reflective material that almost seems to be a brightness amplifier visible from 200 meters away.

The orange reflective tape is characterized by a motif that resembles wheels, cut oranges or, in any case, circular circles.

The jacket, although it still needs some further attention, particularly in detail and design, is likely to become an element of indispensable clothing for all those who use the bicycle in the darkest hours, particularly along the darkest provincial roads, where The greater the risk of getting into the perfume “I have not seen it” and hopefully soon comes to permanently supplant the reflective vest that resembles so much the garments of those who work on the road construction sites.

The sale price for this item is 130 € and is available on the manufacturer’s website, although the small sizes are already out of stock, while on the platform it is possible to book the heads of the new collection, which are definitely more sought-after and more attentive.

In short, Jongleur is a reflective jacket that may not please, but we are sure it will become an interesting reference for all those who make clothing for the commuter.

Passengers need wear reflective vest in airplane

Passenger should wear reflective vest and safety knowledge is a key factor in determining the possibility of surviving any danger situation that may occur on a scheduled airliner. Unfortunately, research carried out by civil aviation agencies, and in particular the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has shown serious problems of effectiveness in the instructions that airlines use on board to inform passengers about safety procedures. For this reason, for years FAA reports have invited airlines to consider creating more creative and interactive versions of instructions to make them easier to learn and more engaging for passengers.

A new free application for Android and apple, called “Air Safety World”, now offers the world’s first opportunity to test the interactive aviation guidance for the future. In them, two virtual flight assistants, equipped with their artificial intelligence, guided the user with personalized feedback as he seeks to actively perform the procedures in faithfully replicated 3D airliners. The free application includes interactive experiences on the main safety issues on board: take the brace position, wear the lifejacket, wear oxygen masks, find emergency outlets on the most common types of aircraft Line, and open the various types of aircraft doors.

The app is one of the results of an international research project that I manage and that our HCI Lab from the University of Udine is working with the Cabin Safety Research Team of the FAA. The new training modes were evaluated with user studies, presented at the 8th Triennial International Fire and Cabin Safety Research Conference, recently held in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The results of the studies have shown that making interactive aviation safety instructions improves their effectiveness: users who received safety instructions through interactive 3D content exploration made fewer mistakes and were faster in performing the procedures, Such as wearing a reflective jacket, in the real world.

In addition to interactive security instructions, “Air Safety World” also explores gasification scenarios, including several different genre games that transform key aviation security messages into fun experiences. Recent air strikes have dramatically demonstrated that messages like ‘leaving all luggages on the plane’ were not received by passengers. Game insertions in the app allow the user to play emergency situations easily, and empirically learn about the effects of correct behavior or not. For example, they put the player with safety vest as the coordinator of the evacuation of a crowd of passengers from the aircraft or they engage with a hurdle run made of emergency doors of planes that need to be quickly opened. Users can also build their own fleet of airliners taken from the real world, inspect them and send them flying to the world.

Reflective jacket has a protective effect on riders

Season fully – the last moment to get the most needed scooter gear. These are undoubtedly the safety vest. And although it may seem that ever warmer weather frees us from the obligation to wear this piece of clothing, yet everyone who has been on a scooter for some time knows that even in the heat it can be quite cool on our bike.

But protection from the cold is not the only function of the jacket that every scooter driver should get. He should – because next to the glove is the primary element of every driver who seriously approaches traveling on a scooter. And what really makes us a jacket at all?

Protects against the cold – riding on the scooter most exposed to the momentum of air is our torso. This means that our body gives away the warmth of practically the largest possible surface. Thanks to that we do not freeze as fast as our internal organs keep warming up. However, when the journey takes a little longer, the cooling is already very severe. This feeling is well known to people who have been riding a scooter for several hours. Then even the warmest bath will not help, because we feel that we are cold inside. It is neither pleasant nor healthy. The reflective vest also protects the areas of the fastest heat loss – arms and hands.

It protects against injuries – already medium quality jackets have special stiffeners and protectors in the most sensitive places. In this way, in the event of an accident, they protect primarily the most vulnerable joints – elbow and shoulder joints. It is not an “iron protection” that will protect us from a truck encounter, but in case of contact with the asphalt is enough. Good jackets also have stiffening on the back. Of course, they are far from the “turtles” motorcycle, but the speed developed by scooters is not astronomical.

Provides better visibility – although in the case of jackets for motorcycles and scooters the dominant color is black, but the latest specials are equipped with special reflective trim. Such white stripes (often very narrow ones) sewn into the clothes very well reflect the light and make us become visible a few hundred meters away. At dusk and at night it can save our lives.

Should you look at her brand when choosing a reflective jacket? Not necessarily. Sometimes it is worth to go to motorbike fairs and look for the most suitable clothes there. Sometimes cheaper models are as well equipped and made as branded ones. However, there are things that you absolutely must pay attention when buying a jacket.

The advantage of this technology lies in its discretion: to date, and jackets motorcycle and scooter covered the Night-Eye does not differ from traditional equipment.

 

At night however, their ability to reflect light shows much higher: the proof image with the above arrangement made with the jacket touring MACNA Concrete.

Currently MACNA offers two ranges of equipment that use the Night-Eye technology: a first fluorescent yellow for maximum visibility and a second gray that can be found on clothing less “flashy the eye “as the Concrete reflective jacket.
