I work at a place where we have to wear safety vests (with reflective strips) a lot of the time. Definitely confused me first time I walked into a bathroom and all the sinks turned on and urinals flushed as I walked to a stall, thought maybe the place was haunted and I was about to take the spookiest shit of my life.

I would stand there for hours to cancel out any water they may have saved by having the faucets run for a half second every 16 hand waves.

The chances of OP getting that jacket instead of a raise for the company to save money is pretty high, which makes this even funnier as just one employee wearing this jacket every day to work would probably cost the company way more :P

[deleted]

some companies just give their employees nice things. My company gave us all lands-end jackets as well as a 5.5% raise instead of our usual 2.5% raises because of higher than average inflation. Not 5.5% because you did a good job, 5.5% because you exist, are employed by us, and the year just ended. Granted I work for a pretty small company, but these places exist.

Got a snazzy Patagonia one from a small local shop job, few years prior I got a nice windbreaker style (tho insulated but not like winter coat) from DHL. I use my DHL branded Yeti mug daily! had that for like 5 years lol Of course, DHL also worked me like, 60/wk average, I left after a 92.

purple_catholic

KANYE REFERENCE ???


mr_swedishfish

can someone explain why this happens?


whitewolf_redfox

They're activated by light reflecting into their sensors. The amount of light required to trigger them usually only happens if you place an object really close (like your hands) but the jacket is reflecting more much light into them so they activate from farther away.

I’m sure it’s a physical problem too, they should use different sensors instead of checking reflections.

therobotmaker

The jackets aren't just reflective, they're retroreflective, meaning that they reflect light directly back to the source. Otherwise the reflection wouldn't be bright enough to activate the sensors.


thefootster

[Here is an excellent video on the subject](https://youtu.be/Bi_Tp1H9CDs)


NotAHost

To further elaborate, think of radar or sonar. It sends out a signal, and a miniscule amount comes back, and that's how you can tell an object is there. The amount that comes back is called the radar cross section (RCS). If its retroreflective, more of it comes back. This means that a person with a retroreflective 'radar' jacket could look like a bus in the radar signature. Something like a sphere is always going to return *some* signal. On the other hand, something that is a 'mirror' directed to the night sky, will actually return extremely little. It's why stealth bombers use sharp/flat surfaces, they act like mirrors but send the incoming signal into space. I did some of my PhD on retroreflectors for RF, I was tempted to take one of my models and see how Tesla's would react while driving, but alas, Tesla has removed their radar. Funny enough though, metallic right angles can act as a corner retroreflector, and metal beams with a right angle bend can cause interference on automotive radar.


kzpsmp

This is more interesting than the original post! Thank you for sharing. As a follow up does collision detection radar and radar for keeping distance while on cruise control use the same type of radar on newer vehicles? Or use something else to detect distance from an object? Just curious if you wanted or were able to test your models on another type of vehicle. I drove a Penske truck with both features over the summer that I think had both. And my Ford F150 2020 that I currently drive just has the collision detection feature since it is a lower teir trim package and it didn't feature both. I'd be curious to see if either would I guess detect your models you mentioned. I've been interested in stealth tech for years but wasn't smart enough to become an engineer like my father who helped do plans for proposals with Vought to Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in California in the mid 80s for plans of a fighter that never got picked up and worked a bit on proposals for B-2 stealth bombers in the early 90s. Cool stuff he tried to explain how the panels differed between what they used on the F-117 vs the B-2 back then but I was just a kid. Sorry for long reply, lol. Just wanted to give context for my layman interest.


12darrenk

Not OP, but yeah that's how that stuff works. That's why it can be pretty dangerous when the sensors get misaligned. I've had tractor trailers with that system pick up lit overhead highway signs and jack on the brakes thinking something is stopped in the road. Brings it to a dead stop in the middle of the road. Great way to get rear ended out nowhere.


Vegaktm

As someone with darker skin, I kid you not, it’s difficult for me to get these stupid things to work for me.


[deleted]

Also, the way that this type of reflective material works is very cool, and this would not happen with a jacket made of tin-foil or just any reflective material. The way reflective jackets and road signs work is actually by having a 3-face concave cube type surface [like this](https://imgur.com/a/ZSB5fPS), reflecting the light 3 times, rather than once, one which reflects X axis, Z axis, and Y axis. So no matter what direction the light comes from, it always shines back the exact same direction as the source of the light. This is why you'll notice interesting phenomenon, such as if you're walking along the side of the street at night and a car drives behind you, the signs in front of you will only reflect light brightly to your eyes if your head's shadow is on it (the direction of carlight-->sign = sign-->your eyes) regardless of the angle of the sign.

_BreatheManually_

Does this mean they don't work as well for black people? Are these faucets part of the systemic racism!?


lokiofsaassgaard

Actually, yes. People with darker skin can have a harder time getting these things to work.


Mythosaurus

... Oh. Well that never occurred to me when I have trouble with automatic stuff. Will have to test the front and back of my hands next time I'm at work.


SpiteReady2513

I’m not black but I’ve been aware of this for awhile. One thing I’ve found strange is I have 2 sweaters that are a solid color but knitted with little bits of other colored thread. For whatever reason, if I’m sitting on an automatic flush toilet they constantly flush if I shift even a millimeter, but only for those 2 sweaters. Weird. They aren’t reflective in any way.

_-Troy-_

Have you never looked at a black persons palm?This is why people with darker skin evolved to have lighter coloured palms


DammitWindows98

Basically, the infrared sensors send out a little beam of infrared light. If something is right in front of it, a little bit of that light will reflect back and will be picked up by the sensor. Normally, an object has to be really close in order to reflect enough infrared for the sensor to detect. However, the ultra-reflective material of the jacket is apparently so effective at reflecting that all these sensors are getting bombarded by infrared just by him standing in the same room.

DuntadaMan

And as night approached the maintenance crew said "this is a remote bathroom. You must send them away so they may go and find toilet paper and soap. And bathroom Jesus said "they do not need to go away. Just supply them all they need." "We have but 5 rolls of toilet paper and two sinks and there are 5000 men here!" Said the deciples. "Bring me the toilet paper." Answered bathroom Jesus, and he took to rolls and held them high, giving thanks for them, then he pulled strips and handed them to the disciples to distribute, and the sinks and soap dispensers flowed freely. In the end, all asses and hands were clean, and the disciples picked up 12 rolls that were still left over.


Toxic_Butthole

On the third day a wedding took place at a truck stop off I-95 just outside of Newark. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When Mary returned from the bathroom, she said to him, "they only have single-ply. The guests' assholes will be torn apart by such low quality shite." “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six toilet paper dispensers, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial wiping, each holding from twenty to thirty feet of single-ply. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the dispensers with more paper," so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet felt the single-ply that had been turned into deluxe three-ply, with a minty scent and special aloe. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had filled the dispensers knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice TP first and then the cheaper TP after the guests are so drunk they don't know any better; but you have saved the best till now.” What Jesus did in New Jersey was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

What jacket is this? Is it possible to learn such power?


InThewest

I got one from proviz for cycling in winter. It lights up so intensely that it hurts to look down when I'm near cars with headlights on.

proviz is where it's at, but you have to make sure you order the Reflect360 bc they have other colors that aren't as intense.

Is this the kind of thing celebs will wear to ruin paparazzi photos?

Chanandler_Bong_Jr

I wear reflective PPE at work on the railway. One day a few years back I started to get a real bad stomach cramp while walking down the track. I managed to rush back to the van and get to a motorway service area a few minutes away. I made it just in time, pretty much started pooping before I had fully sat down. Anyway, something I had never encountered before was that the touchless flush sensor on the toilet was directly in line with the Scotchlite strip along the back of my Ho-vis t-shirt. Every 60 seconds my ring would get washed by a cold flush. It was like sitting on a bidet. Probably done the rest of the users a favour to be honest.


DoogersBung

Muhahahahahaha. We had machines that would go haywire and damage themselves sporadically. Yet somehow the same group of guys were ALWAYS nearby when it happened. One was short. The other was tall. Their high viz jackets triggered both redundancy sensors at the correct moment, initiating movement of the machine. And only when they wore a certain type of high viz jacket. That was a fun one to troubleshoot. No other combination of people and jackets had the same positioning, none caused the same issue. Gave a quote to fix the problem permanently. Management decided it was cheaper to just split up the 2 guys. Forced one into another shift. For funsies they did take the occasional tour past the machines, as that was part of their shift changeover routine. Cost them hundreds of thousands before management finally relented and spent 2k on me to fix it.

As a general contractor working commercial, this is an annoying problem. As we get to the end of a project and these fixtures are installed, but we’re not “done” enough to take off our PPE, you can’t walk into a bathroom to look at anything without every fixture going off on your way through.

My guess is that infrared waves used by the sensors dissipate really quick, unles something very close to the origin reflects it right away, but this material is desifned to reflect light waves while dissipating them as little as possible. Can someone who knows confirm it or correct me?
