Audio tactile profiled roadmarkings: understanding how they work and when they are effective

This current project aimed to develop an economical method for determining whether a particular audio tactile profiled roadmarking meets acceptable performance standards, without the need for manufacturers and road agencies to run further complex human response tests for individual marking types and to establish minimum dimensions of the marking for performance and permissible application tolerances. This would be achieved by measuring the relationship of response to the noise and vibration levels generated by markings so that for new marking types, or for identifying minimum dimensions, noise and vibration levels could be determined by calculation then human response determined via the relationship of response to noise and vibration levels.
