   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_pavement_marker

   Raised reflective markers, such as plastic, ceramic, or metal ones, include a lens or sheeting that enhances their visibility by retroreflecting automotive headlights, while glass road studs gather automotive headlights with a dome shape and reflect the lights with a reflective layer within.

3. Road surface marking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface_marking

   Glass beads composed of soda lime glass are essential for providing retroreflectivity in many kinds of road markings. [18] Retroreflectivity occurs when incident light from vehicles is refracted within glass beads that are embedded in road markings and then reflected back into the driver's field of view.

4. Retroreflective sheeting - Wikipedia

   They are also used as a material to increase the scanning range of barcodes in factory settings. The sheeting consists of retroreflective glass beads, microprisms, or encapsulated lenses sealed onto a fabric or plastic substrate. Many different colors and degrees of reflection intensity are provided by numerous manufacturers for various ...

   Glass microspheres are added in order to improve the identification of lines at night, to improve the brightness and durability of the marking. Glass beads, usually 0.1-1.4 mm in diameter, are colourless and transparent; they reflect light from vehicle's headlights back toward the driver and foremost protect the road marking from abrasion.

9. Retroreflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflector

   A set of three mutually perpendicular reflective surfaces, placed to form the internal corner of a cube, work as a retroreflector. The three corresponding normal vectors of the corner's sides form a basis (x, y, z) in which to represent the direction of an arbitrary incoming ray, [a, b, c].
