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)....

Handheld Instruments: Model 932 for Sign Sheeting & Hi-Vis Safety Clothing

The RoadVista model 932 is a handheld retroreflectometer designed for use in the field or in a laboratory or QA/QC environment.  It is designed to fully characterize the retroreflection (RA) and retroreflected night-time (CIE1931xy) color of road signs, high visibility safety clothing and other materials.

This patented (US Patent# 7,961,328) design allows you to know, with the press of a button, exactly how bright your retroreflector will appear to most drivers, as well as determine if the color falls within the defined color box.

The adjustable entrance angle and observation allows for complete characterization of most retroreflectors, including full high-visibility clothing retroreflective testing to EN471 and ANSI107.

The Model 932 comes standard with a Bluetooth wireless interface and USB computer interface both allowing for remote operation of the instrument and data logging.  The internal memory has the capacity to store more than 32000 measurements. 

The sensitive light sensor meets ASTM E1709 and ASTM E2540 requirements with the CIE standard human eye response in conjunction with the CIE illuminant “A” lamp. Our world-class photometric filter fit is unmatched by the competition and allows extremely accurate measurements of other colors using the single white reference standard with no correction factors.
