New Minimum Retroreflectivity Requirements in the MUTCD

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has just recently published the second revision to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) that establishes minimum retroreflectivity levels that must be maintained for traffic signs. Agencies have until 2012 to implement a sign assessment and management program to maintain signs at or above the minimum specified levels. The RoadVista model 922 Sign Retroreflectometer is the ultimate tool to ensure compliance with the MUTCD and is an integral part of any sign management program.

Production Line Instruments: Model 1000 for Sign Sheeting

The Model 1000 Retroreflection Online Monitoring System is a measurement system specially designed for retroreflective sheeting material production line monitoring.

Optional computer-controlled data acquisition, display and recording capabilities make the system particularly powerful. This option – incorporating a Microsoft Windows based computer, a data acquisition board and user-friendly control software – enables analog to digital data conversion, system calibration (converts voltage to retroreflection unit), graphical data display and data storage. Optionally, you can record production line parameters such as conveyer position, speed and material thickness with the appropriate sensors. Furthermore, user-adjustable “data ranking” is particularly useful. If results are below the lower rank, or above the higher rank, an alarm signal sounds.

Incorporating one projection light source and two observation angle photo detectors, the Model 1000 provides simultaneous measurement of two observation angles of 0.2° and 0.5°. Both projection and receiver optics are collimated and optical design meets both ASTM and CIE specifications for retroreflection measurement.
