DELTA has finished the development of such a solution, and RetroSign instruments are now available with barcode reader," says the Danish company.
"As a part of a management system the market is increasingly asking for access to a barcode reader solution.

The recent generation of RetroSign has offered a number of add-ons to the base instrument such as GPS for location identification, Bluetooth for wireless communication, RFID reader for RFID tags and an extension pole for the measurement of tall signs. The company also points out that councils and road marking authorities are demanding higher and higher retroreflectivity, especially under wet conditions, and this is where it is essential to have equipment for testing that the product delivers.ġ99 Delta has since the 1990s offered RetroSign as a reliable and accurate retroreflectometer for the measurement of retroreflection of road signs and safety clothing.Īt present DELTA offers RetroSign GR1 with one main observation angle (0.2o ASTM standard and 0.33o CEN standard) and RetroSign GR3 with three observation angles (0.5o and 1.0o in addition to the main observation angle) allowing a more complete view of the retroreflection level also for trucks and large vehicles. The Dot'n Line system can also be retrofitted on most machines," says Lisbeth Knudsen, area sales manager at road marking equipment manufacturer Borum Industri. " 173 Borum is now making more machines with a new dot and line system in response to this demand.
Having to cope with variables such as changing weather conditions, traffic density and travel time, operators need equipment that is suited to the job and performs well, time after time. And for a road marking contractor, a job well done is a profitable one. It is worth repeating that roughly one-third of traffic accidents involving injuries happen at night, although only 20% of all traffic flows after dark. The importance of clear, highly visible markings is best seen in the dark, particularly when it is wet or misty making the accident risk even higher. However, among the most effective devices for achieving both of these aims IS still road markings whether, for example, they are painted hot (or cold) thermoplastic with reflective glass beads, applied using special spray machines, temporary road markings or special road studs, which are increasingly being used at high danger areas.

Horizontal and high-tech in-road markings are all being used in a bid to keep roads safe as Patrick Smith reportsMany modern roads, especially in urban areas, are equipped with the latest technology to guide drivers and, more importantly, improve safety.
