High-speed markings measurement from AMAC

The Advanced Mobile Asset Collection (AMAC) system measures traffic sign and pavement marking retroreflectivity while creating a comprehensive asset inventory and condition assessment. AMAC was developed through a team of engineers, physicists, psychologists and statisticians by DBi/Cidaut Technologies, a partnership between the US’s DBi Serives and Spain’s CIDAUT Foundation.

The 7678 Advanced Mobile Asset Collection (AMAC) system measures traffic sign and pavement marking retroreflectivity while creating a comprehensive asset inventory and condition assessment.

AMAC was developed through a team of engineers, physicists, psychologists and statisticians by DBi/Cidaut Technologies, a partnership between the US’s DBi Serives and Spain’s CIDAUT Foundation.

Integrating advanced lighting and artificial vision techniques in an instrumented vehicle operating at night at highway speeds, AMAC quickly, safely and cost-effectively assesses the actual performance of traffic signs and pavement markings. Objective measurements of traffic sign and pavement marking retroreflectivity levels, luminance, positions, dimensions and colours are all undertaken.

    As part of the UK’s rail electrification programme, FutureRailway is launching a competition to design a Pantograph Dynamic Behaviour Measurement Device for use in Rolling Stock Maintenance Depots. Currently pantographs cannot be run too close together and are limited in the speed they can achieve. Electric trains which can run at faster speeds whilst coupled together in multiple could improve both train performance and network capacity. Improvements in pantograph capability are thought to be needed to r
