Intro to Three Types of Road Marking Reflectivity Measurement Devices

A road marking retroreflectometer is a specialized device used to measure the retroreflectivity of road markings. Retroreflectivity refers to the ability of road markings to reflect light to its source, such as vehicle headlights, enhancing visibility and safety. A retroreflectometer emits light towards a road marking surface at a specific angle. The device then measures the amount of light that is reflected.
Lighten Traffic provides three types of precise retro reflection meter devices for road line paintings in various conditions.

How to do road marking reflectivity measurement with our retroreflectometer?

A Road Marking Retroreflectometer typically utilizes a handheld device with a light source and a sensor. The device is placed on the road marking, and the light is projected onto the marking surface at a predetermined angle. The sensor then measures the intensity of the light reflected, providing a retro-reflectivity reading in units such as millicandelas per square meter (mcd/m²). To measure road marking reflectivity with our retro reflectometer:

  1. Prepare the device and ensure it’s clean and functioning properly.
  2. Position the retroreflectometer perpendicular to the road marking.
  3. Align the device’s measurement window with the marking’s surface.
  4. Initiate the measurement and record the reflectivity value.
  5. Repeat for additional measurements as needed.
  6. Analyze the results and compare them to visibility standards.
  7. Document the measurements for future reference.

Follow manufacturer guidelines for accuracy and consistency.
