Abstract LED-based billboards are becoming increasingly popular due to their low cost, flexibility, and efficiency. On another side, the too-bright digital billboard may pose a potential threat to road safety. The driver’s perception of advertising depends on the different factors, including the billboard’s luminance value. The aim of the study was to develop the assessment method for the digital screen parameters (luminance or illumination) which could be applied by supervising authorities, using budget-friendly devices, such as a lux meter and could be used during the billboard active operation. We tested the recommended method of OAAA and concluded that it is not applied for large billboards (over 25 square-meter) due to the calculated far distance and low sensitivity of lux meter. We have developed the new method based on driver discomfort glare and De Boer ratio. The ratio helps to determine how likely a display is to cause discomfort to those around it. The lower the value, the less discomfort the driver will experience from the billboard. The new method is applied for the active and different size billboard and using lux meter that is not an expensive device. Moreover, we take into account the glare effect of billboard on drivers’ vision.

A restrained ring setup with a clapboard was developed. Because the clapboard can cause a stress concentration of concrete annulus placed in the ring setup, a crack of the concrete annulus can rise at the tip of the clapboard at an early age of curing. Then the time-span of the evaluation of concrete cracking behavior is shortened. The new evaluation method can avoid the disadvantages of applying the conventinal restrained ring setup without a clapboard when evaluating the cracking resistant behavior of concrete, such as the longer time-span, randomicity and chanciness of concrete cracking. Based on experimental data, in which the effect of polypropylene fiber and expansive agent on the cracking resistant behavior of concrete was investigated, the cracking age of concrete loops and the ratio of tensile strength to compressive strength of concrete were obtained, and the validity of the proposed ring setup has been verified.
