Enabling Survey Equipment Manufacturers

to integrate retroreflectivity measurement into their systems

Dynamic Measurement of Retroreflectivity with RetroTek-D

The most Efficient and Cost Effective Solution for Retroreflectivity and Day Contrast Measurements

Customers are demanding more and more capability from their investment in pavement condition survey equipment for road condition surveys and quality control of road asset inventory. Many pavement condition survey equipment manufacturers are responding to the challenge by developing additional functionality and features to increase the value of their systems to their customers.

We provide Survey Equipment Manufacturers with access to a ready-made solution for pavement marking retroreflectivity and day contrast condition assessment. Our innovative RetroTek-D dynamic pavement marking retroreflectometer, includes the latest technology developments in Machine Vision, LED lighting and Artificial Intelligence to enable manufacturers to maximize the amount of data collected in one pass and reduce survey costs while increasing revenue generated.

One survey vehicle could simultaneously collect data on several road assets critical for road safety and pavement maintenance i.e. operate in conjunction with high speed pavement profilers and surface friction testers.

Our secure front-mounted RetroTek-D system provides dynamic measurement of retroreflectivity across the full lane width in one pass to reduce survey costs by up to 50% meaning quicker surveys, less distance travelled and lower fuel costs. This includes dynamic measurement of retroreflectivity (mcd/m²/lux) of right and left longitudinal lines striping and critical center markings, safety warnings and symbols. It also records presence or absence of road pavement markers and day contrast ratios (Weber) of stripes and markings, as used by ADAS safety warning systems in vehicles.

Best of all because all data collection is fully automated, our software can share data through APIs with other software systems to enable manufacturers to integrate our hardware and software into their complete survey solutions.

best bit of kit out there

When it comes to retro-reflectivity measurement, it’s definitely the best bit of kit out there at the moment 😃

technical support is second to none

We are delighted with the performance of the RetroTek as it measures the striping on both sides of the lane in one pass without the need to switch the sensor from one side of the vehicle to the other. At the end of surveying, all the data can be quickly prepared & sent to district TX Dot officials, without the need for hours of post-processing.
The RetroTek technical support is second to none.

a competitive choice

The flexibility of RetroTek has allowed ERC to meet and exceed the stringent requirements set by ERA. Its easy setup, ability to measure line retroreflectivity on both sides of a lane and then illustrate these results on the MultiView mapping & video interactive platform, made the RetroTek a competitive choice.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland were very happy with the survey

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) were very happy with the survey results and impressed with the RetroTek-Pro software with interactive data base and video analysis. The timescale was tight (12 weeks) and delivery was enabled by the efficiency of the RetroTek system.

impressed with the RL accuracy of the RetroTek

We were very satisfied with the survey results and impressed with the RL accuracy of the RetroTek and the ability to detect the reflective pavement markings (RPMs)/road studs to within 3% accuracy over 1km. This information was very helpful in assisting our maintenance department to prioritise maintenance of road markings and reflective pavement markings (RPMs) / road studs where most needed and plan future maintenance schedules. The contract was delivered on time due to the efficiency of the RetroTek system to simultaneously measure the performance of multiple road assets in one pass.

ERA was very happy with the survey results and impressed with the RetroTek QuickView-Pro software

ERA was very happy with the survey results and impressed with the RetroTek QuickView-Pro software with interactive data base, mapping and video analysis. It gives good overview of results and opportunity very easy to plan further road marking replacement plans. The timescale was tight and due to weather conditions, it was very hard to keep in timescale. But despite that the delivery was enabled by the efficiency of the contractor ERC Consulting Ltd and RetroTek system.
