Measurement of raised pavement marker’s photometric performance

Abstract

Abstract Large error exists in the photometric performance test of raised pavement marker. This paper reports a set of retroreflective measurement standard devices built to measure raised pavement markers based on the principle of direct measurement, and the photometric performance of the raised pavement markers was tested. The study also involved calibration of a portable meter using the standard device. According to the experimental comparison, the method proposed in this paper provides a new direction for the development of retroreflection measurement technology. The results measured by the proposed method showed high accuracy. This method can solve the large measurement error problems with indication errors of 2% at most.
