In order to improve the road performance and promote the application of two-component road markings, the latest research findings of two-component road markings were summarized, and the material system and curing mechanism of two-component road markings were analyzed. In addition, the durability indexes of road marking were concluded. Then, the impact factors of durability, such as temperature, rain erosion, ultraviolet radiation and vehicle wear were discussed. Furthermore, the influence of glass beads and luminescent materials on the visibility of road markings were investigated. The results show that the visibility of road markings was the best under the high refractive index glass beads with spreading density of 9%~24% and luminescent powder of SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+. The design optimization methods and nano-materials (nano-TiO2, nano-fillers and nano-clay) were elaborated to improve the road performance of markings. Finally, the research directions of road markings were prospected, by which the development of two-component road markings were expected to be promoted.
