ADR.OPS.B.080 Marking and lighting of vehicles and other mobile objects

MARKING OF VEHICLES

(a)Vehicles to be marked should be coloured or display flags as follows:

(1)Red or yellowish green colour should preferably be used for marking emergency vehicles and yellow colour for service vehicles.

(2)When flags are used to mark vehicles, they should:

(i)be displayed around, on top of, or around the highest edge of the vehicle. Flags should not increase the hazard presented by the vehicle they mark;

(ii)not be less than 0.9 m on each side and should consist of a chequered pattern, each square having sides of not less than 0.3 m. The colours of the pattern should contrast each with the other and with the background against which they will be seen. Orange and white, or alternatively red and white should be used, except where such colours merge with the background.

LIGHTING OF VEHICLES

(b)Lighting of vehicles should be as follows:

(1)Low-intensity obstacle lights, Type C, should be displayed on vehicles;

(2)Low-intensity obstacle lights, Type C, displayed on vehicles associated with emergency or security should be flashing blue and those displayed on other vehicles should be flashing yellow;

(3)Low-intensity obstacle lights, Type D, should be displayed on follow-me vehicles.

(c)Low-intensity obstacle lights, Types C and D should be in accordance with the specifications contained in Table Q-1, CS ADR-DSN.U.930 and Figure U-1A or U-1B of CS-ADR-DSN, as appropriate.

MARKING OF MOBILE OBJECTS OTHER THAN VEHICLES

(a)Mobile objects, other than vehicles, to be marked should be coloured or display flags as follows:

(1)When they are marked by colour, conspicuous colours should be used.

(2)When they are marked by flags, the flags should:

(i)be displayed around, on top of, or around the highest edge of the object. Flags should not increase the hazard presented by the object they mark; and

(ii)not be less than 0.9 m on each side and should consist of a chequered pattern, each square having sides of not less than 0.3 m. The colours of the pattern should contrast each with the other and with the background against which they will be seen. Orange and white, or alternatively red and white should be used, except where such colours merge with the background.

LIGHTING OF MOBILE OBJECTS OTHER THAN VEHICLE

(b)Lighting of mobile objects, other than vehicles, should be as follows:

(1)Low-intensity obstacle lights, Type C, should be displayed on mobile objects;

(2)Low-intensity obstacle lights on objects with limited mobility, such as aerobridges, shall be fixed-red, and as a minimum be in accordance with the specifications for low-intensity obstacle lights, Type A, in Table Q-1 of CS-ADR-DSN. The intensity of the lights shall be sufficient to ensure conspicuity considering the intensity of the adjacent lights and the general levels of illumination against which they would normally be viewed.

MOBILE OBJECTS OTHER THAN VEHICLES The term ‘mobile objects’ covers all mobile equipment, such as passenger stairs, generators, as well as other similar equipment, which are not self-powered, and whose presence is required on the apron for the ground servicing of aircraft. It also covers objects of reduced mobility, such as aerobridges, which are attached to the terminal building. Moreover, it covers any other mobile equipment that may be needed to be used in the manoeuvring area for specific purposes.
