8333 Easylux says it has transformed the portable retroreflector market with its MiniReflecto Horizontal.

The MiniReflecto is a family of innovative instruments for on-site or laboratory measuring of retroreflection and reflection properties. Items that can be measured include road markings, road signs, road studs, safety clothing and any objects or material designed to reflect light.

The MiniReflecto measures the night visibility RL value - coefficient of retroreflected luminance - and the Qd value - day light visibility. The values of these coefficients indicate how a driver will experience visibility of road markings.

The MiniReflecto is compact and weighs less than 2.1kg, including the required AA batteries. Its size is only 255mm x 160mm x 220mm, about half the size of older-technology competitors.

Because the MiniReflecto uses LED technology, the instrument is almost maintenance-free and is extremely energy efficient. The innovative patent pending optical system is according CIE V(ʎ) specifications, enabling accurate measuring of all colours and types of road markings, even profiled up to 15mm.

MiniReflecto Horizontal meets all requirements of international standards, such as the 30-metre by ASTM E1710 and EN1436 for RL (88.76° / 1.05°).

    Local authorities and communities must understand the impacts of the new mobility options and regulate to get the transport systems they want, according to a new report. Colin Sowman takes a look. Outside of the big cities plagued with congestion, the existing transportation system(s) often cope adequately, and the ongoing workload (maintenance, safety…) is more than enough to keep local transport authorities busy. Is it, therefore, a good use of public service employees’ time to keep abreast of the raft

    To combat the 7,673 accidents that involved cyclists last year, in which 67 died and 736 were injured, the Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has installed 16 dynamic cyclist signalling equipment at four conventional roads in La Rioja, northern Spain, where the visibility is reduced. The project is valued €55, 000 (£49,000). The system can detect an isolated cyclist or group of cyclists on the roads and activate a luminous circumstantial signal which alerts drivers and blinks for a determined and configurable
