Increasingly Departments of Transportation & Road Agencies require Road Striping Contractors to conduct pavement marking condition assessment surveys soon after new striping has been applied and at a defined period after the striping has been in service. This validation or verification of pavement marking quality is an additional cost for Road Stripers and a federal mandatory requirement for Road Agencies demonstrating MUTCD compliance.

The RetroTek-D technology will help road striping contractors reduce cost, increase performance and ensure compliance even for the toughest state or municipality specifications. Our innovative RetroTek-D dynamic pavement marking retroreflectometer, includes the latest technology developments in Machine Vision, LED lighting and Artificial Intelligence to make road pavement marking condition assessment more efficient for Road Striping Contractors and more cost effective. In fact, because our secure front-mounted RetroTek-D system measures across the full lane width in one pass, we reduce pavement marking survey costs by up to 50%.

Unlike side-mounted systems, no precision driving close to the line is required as the RetroTek technology assesses the markings automatically. That is less survey operator time and lower fuel costs too. Providing the same level of retroreflective accuracy as handheld devices at normal traffic speeds, we eliminate the need for traffic management, road or lane closures. This includes measurement of the retroreflectivity (mcd/m²/lux) of right longitudinal line and left longitudinal line striping and critical center lane markings, safety warnings and symbols. It also records presence or absence of road pavement markers and day contrast ratios of stripes and markings, as used by ADAS safety warning systems in vehicles. For Road Striping Contractors, the RetroTek system provides the most cost effective option for validating pavement marketing condition.
