SIGNAL TRANSMITTER, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIGHLIGHTING OBJECTS IN ROAD TRAFFIC, USE OF THE SYSTEM, AND USE OF THE SIGNAL TRANSMITTER
First Claim
1. A signal transmitter e, for highlighting objects in road traffic, comprising a marking means and a carrier material, wherein the marking means is arranged on the carrier material in a manner covering at least one surface side of the carrier material and/or is admixed with a substance of the carrier material (22, 24, 26), and wherein the signal transmitter reflects impinging electromagnetic radiation in at least one predeterminable wavelength band by the marking means, wherein a spectral width and a spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band are influenced by a size and/or a size distribution and/or a shape of nanoparticles contained in the marking means and/or are influenced by a surface nanostructuring of the marking means, and wherein the spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band lies in an infrared spectral range.

Abstract
A signal generator for highlighting objects in road traffic, including a marker and a carrier material. The marker is arranged on the carrier material in such a manner that the marker covers one surface side of the carrier material and/or is added to a substance of the carrier material. The signal transmitter reflects incident electromagnetic radiation of at least one predeterminable wavelength band by the marker. A spectral width and a spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band are distinguished by a size and/or a size distribution and/or a shape of nanoparticles contained in the marker and/or by a surface nanostructuring of the marker. The spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band is located in an infrared spectral range. The invention further relates to a corresponding system, a corresponding method, the use of the signal generator, and the use of the system.
