Retro reflectometer for Road Marking:

Retro reflectometers are precision instruments used to measure the retroreflective properties of road markings and traffic signs. These properties are crucial for ensuring the visibility and safety of roadways, especially at night or in adverse weather conditions. This application note focuses on the use of retro reflectometers in the evaluation and maintenance of road markings.

Road markings such as lane lines, crosswalks, and edge lines play a vital role in guiding drivers and ensuring road safety. Their visibility is significantly enhanced by retroreflective materials, which reflect light from vehicle headlights back towards the driver, improving night-time visibility and reducing accidents. Over time, these markings can deteriorate due to weather, traffic wear, and other environmental factors, necessitating regular assessment and maintenance.

We can offer the Zehntner, Swiss-made Retro Reflectometer Model ZRM6014 for measuring RL (Night Time visibility) and Qd (Day Time visibility) values for road markings in both dry and wet conditions, in accordance with Indian Standard IRC code 35-2015.

Retro reflectometer for Signage:

Retro reflectometers are specialized instruments used to measure the retroreflective properties of materials. These devices are critical in ensuring the visibility and safety of traffic signs, road markings, and other signage, especially under low-light conditions such as nighttime or inclement weather.

Retro reflectivity refers to the ability of a surface to reflect light back to its source with minimal scattering. In the context of traffic and safety signage, high retro reflectivity ensures that signs are easily visible to drivers and pedestrians when illuminated by headlights or other light sources. This visibility is crucial for maintaining safety on roads and in public areas.

We can offer the Swiss-made Zehntner Handheld Retro Reflectometer Model ZRS6060 for measuring the retro reflectivity value of road signage, in accordance with Indian Standard IRC code 67-2012.
