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.

    Backlit weatherproof safety sign works without power
    Italian company Insico (INnovation SIgn Consulting) will feature its backlit waterproofed safety sign innovation at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014. Developed to improve safety signs, it uses an active system based on light diffusion technology and a passive system, in the case of sudden loss of electricity, with the use of special retro-reflective semi-transparent films. The device can be manufactured in different sizes, graphics and colours and is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
