Trials of Road Marking Monitor to determine performance levels for network surveys
In this study a Road Marking Monitor (RMM) prototype for evaluating road marking retroreflectivity was tested for use in England's Traffic-speed Condition Survey (TRACS) survey. TRACS surveys the safety of England's road conditions. The RMM, consisting of high-speed imaging equipment using a high intensity LED light source, was compared with three retroreflectometers at the laboratory and network level. The measurements provided by each device were compared with each other and assessed for repeatability. The RMM was on par with the other devices and it was concluded that it would be suitable for use in network level surveys. Recommendations for TRACS data requirements and data delivery are also included.
