DELTA'S LTL-M retrometer is based on new optical technology that has the same properties as used in its series of hand-held LTL retormeters
Danish company 199 Delta, a leading supplier of retroreflectometers for road markings and road signs, will launch its LTL-M mobile retroreflectometer at 346 Traffex in Birmingham, UK.

The company, known for its LTL and RetroSign brands, says the new system "brings measurement accuracy to a new level"

The LTL-M mobile will measure line width and other geometry properties and can also monitor defective or missing road pavement markers.

The company's new mobile retrometer is based on a new optical technology that has the same properties as used in its series of hand-held LTL retrometers.

"The objective for the development of the LTL-M has been to make a mobile retrometer that should be as easy to use and as accurate as a hand-held retrometer," says DELTA.

Laboratory and field tests performed by the Swedish Road Research Institute (VTI), comparing the LTL-M, an existing mobile retrometer and using a hand-held instrument as a reference, have shown that the LTL-M measures with an accuracy similar to hand-held retrometers.

New patented technology improves measurement accuracy to a level so far only provided by handheld retroreflectometers and offers better coverage. The need for accurate data on the performance of pavement markings has never been greater as road authorities seek to provide a high safety level for increasingly congested roads. Furthermore, due to the ageing populations in many parts of the world, a growing n
