RetroTek-D retroreflectometer

RetroTek-D mobile retroreflectometer

Day and night operation worldwide. An innovative road marking survey mobile retroreflectometer capable of full lane-width surveys in a single pass, day or night. The powerful front-mounted RetroTek-D dynamic retroreflectometer combines the latest machine vision and LED projector technology with powerful GPS mapping and video monitoring software to transform road retroreflectivity assessment surveys for road maintenance engineers.

An innovative mobile retroreflectometer

The first commercially available, independently certified 30-metre geometry dynamic mobile retroreflectometer capable of measuring the full lane width day or night in a single pass (right / left long line and centre marking).
Presence and absence of reflective pavement markers (RPM) / studs. This innovative front-mounted retroreflectometer reduces testing time by up to 50% and cuts the labour and fuel costs associated with road marking testing by 50%.

Key advantages of the RetroTek-D system:

• Survey cost, time and travel distance reduced by 50%
• Easily, safely and seamlessly fitted to a survey vehicle
• Safer for the operator and other road users thanks to the front mounting position
• Greater ground clearance than side-mounted systems
• No need for precise driving to stay close to road markings
• Surveys can be completed at normal traffic speed

Measured simultaneously:

• Retroreflectivity of road lines / lanes
• Centre lane markings, symbols, arrows, chevrons, etc.
• Presence and absence of reflective pavement markers (RPM) / reflective studs
• Daylight contrast ratio measurements
