Danish company 199 Delta is introducing its new RetroSign GR3 Retroreflectometer for quality control and asset management of road signs and retroreflective materials with laboratory precision.

The company says that to achieve these goals the triple geometry retroreflectometer is offered with GPS and RFID (radio frequency identification) reader.

The handheld instrument is used for measuring the retroreflection of traffic signs. It measures the coefficient of retroreflection (RA) according to US and European standards.

"The triple geometry facilitates simultaneous measurements at various observation angles as proposed by ASTM (The 3930 American Society for Testing and Materials). The RetroSign GR3 measures simultaneously at observation angles at 0.2/0.33º, 0.5º, and 1º," says DELTA.

"The point aperture geometry specified by ASTM ensures realistic and accurate readings replicating realistic driving conditions. Furthermore it enables the user to determine if a microprismatic sign sheeting material has been applied correctly.

Due to the DELTA proprietary gradient index ultra hard coating (UHC) technology the sensor response meets the ASTM 1709 requirements combining the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) eye response and CIE illuminant A." DELTA says that the RetroSign GR3 is designed to easily interface with current and future ID tagging and asset management systems, and the internal memory stores up to 250,000 readings, "which essentially means that the instrument never runs out of memory."

A few years ago, there was still some debate in the testing world as to whether the US or European testing regimes would dominate. Today, it does seem that the US Superpave system is most widely used, albeit with local adaptations.

    Failing eyesight presents safety problems for Europe's older drivers. A new report highlights substantial variation in the assessment of drivers' vision across Europe, and recommends that Member States make moves to better assess drivers' vision. Checking the vision of drivers plays a valuable role in the EU's target of halving road deaths across the EU by 2020. The aim is to achieve this road safety improvement by legislative means that change driver behaviour, raise the technical standards of vehicles and
