Retroreflectivity Measurement with RetroTek D
Front-Mounted Dynamic Pavement Retroreflectometer for Day or Night Surveys
Our innovative pavement marking retroreflectivity measurement system is capable of conducting full lane width surveys in a single pass, day or night. This powerful RetroTek-D retroreflectometer is independently certified as having similar accuracy as handheld retroreflectometer units and combines the latest Machine Vision software with Dual Narrowband Strobed Projector Illumination. With auto exposure, automatic stripe line type detection, GPS mapping and full survey video recording our system simplifies retroreflectivity measurement surveys for pavement marking maintenance engineers and other infrastructure stakeholders.
Why buy the RetroTek-D Dynamic Retroreflectometer system?
This is the latest technology in dynamic traffic speed pavement marking assessments that enables operators to:
Reduce survey costs (both operator time, travel distances and fuel costs) by up to 50%.
Maximize data collection in one survey pass, with retroreflectivity measurement (mcd/m²/lux) and day contrast ratio (Weber) of right and left longitudinal lines, critical in-lane center markings and reflective pavement markers.
Minimize your survey downtime, with a reliable secure front-mounted retroreflectometer providing stability for measurements. Get on the road quickly with rapid setup/calibration and the facility to have Remote Diagnostics with Technical Support.
Increase safety for operators with normal lane driving and minimal operator intervention due to automatic detection of longitudinal line types – color, skip/continuous, single/double lines.
Easy post survey processing with rapid data download & processing to give clear GPS tagged and color coded mapped results with corresponding survey video footage.
The Quick Release Bar system allows for quick and easily removal from the survey vehicle overnight or to swap to another vehicle fitted with the secure Quick Release Bar system.
What does the system measure?
- Retroreflectivity (RL) of longitudinal pavement markings on the left and right hand side of the lane being surveyed
- Retroreflectivity of in-lane safety-critical Center Lane Markings, Safety Warnings, Symbols, Arrows, Chevrons etc
- Presence & absence of Reflective Pavement Markings (RPMs)
- Daylight Contrast ratio measurements of pavement markings
Do you have a large road network to survey? Double your survey capacity at no extra cost!
Our Customer's feedback
Our customers are our best advocates.
We are happy to share their words on their experience of working with our innovative pavement marking retroreflectivity measurement system.
best bit of kit out there
technical support is second to none
a competitive choice
Transport Infrastructure Ireland were very happy with the survey
impressed with the RL accuracy of the RetroTek
ERA was very happy with the survey results and impressed with the RetroTek QuickView-Pro software
The RetroTek-D records data in real time and automatically stores it on the PC. The data includes route travelled, retroreflective values (RL), day contrast ratio, GPS co-ordinates, temperature, humidity, distance, speed, time and presence/absence of reflective pavement markings (RPMs). The RetroTek-D surveys road traffic markings at normal traffic speeds, eliminating the need for traffic management or road closures, and can assess up to 6 reflective road assets in one pass.
