RoadVista Awarded Patent For Handheld Retroreflection Measurement Technology

RoadVista, a Gamma Scientific Company and leading manufacturer of precision highway-safety measurement instruments, today announced it has been awarded a patent for the technology underlying its innovative handheld, multiple-angle retroreflectometers. U.S. Patent # 7,961,328 B2 has been awarded for the technology’s unique ability to simultaneously measure two or more annular bands of retroreflected light, as well as provide users with continuous, user-adjustable entrance and observation angles. This technology is field-proven in RoadVista’s Model 922 and Model 932 handheld retroreflectometers, which also feature lab-grade accuracy and comprehensive data management tools.

 

The Model 922: Simultaneous, dual-angle measurement.

 

The industry's only annular aperture instrument, the Model 922 measures observation angles of 0.2°and 0.5°, with an entrance angle of -4°(European specifications also available)....

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.
