MEASUREMENT OF TRAFFIC SIGNS ACCORDING
TO ASTM AND DIN 67 520
The RetroChecker
RC 2000 is a convenient rechargeable measuring instrument
for the determination of the
coefficient of retroreflection R¡¯ of retroreflective
materials(nighttime visibility).
Additional equipment like data storage,
GPS (Global Positioning System)and barcode reader make
the
RC 2000 the ideal instrument for building up a traffic
sign inventory.
To carry out a measurement, the RC 2000
is positioned directly onto the traffic sign under examination
and
it immediately delivers results with laboratory precision.
GPS data for localisation and barcodes for identification
of traffic signs are recorded and stored automatically
and can be transferred to a PC via serial interface.
The RetroChecker RC 2000 can be
used for all types and colours of retroreflective sheetings.
