Agencies have always recognized the important correlation between pavement markings’ visibility, retroreflectivity and roadway safety. As automated and autonomous vehicles become more prolific, good markings become even more critical for continued safe operation on mixed-use roads. These agencies are embarking on the challenge of assessing and managing the pavement markings of their entire roadway system. The Laserlux® G7 is the safe, smart and simple solution to meet this challenge. The Laserlux® G7 provides continuous pavement marking assessment and evaluation within the flow of traffic. It is the only commercially available instrument that does not require a dedicated vehicle or vehicle modifications to operate.
Laser-diode based system – virtually maintenance free
Counts and inventories reflective pavement markers (RPMs, cat eyes, road studs)
Measures double lines individually with separate RL values for each line
Measures the contrast between the pavement and the line
Measures the nighttime perceived pavement marking line width
Operation of the unit is Wi-Fi wireless from any device – phone, computer, tablet, etc. No software or apps to install
Proven laser-based optics that scans pavement markings more than 400 times per second
Auto-positioning system for continuous measurement and geometry management
High definition video recordingSquid-Mount™ securely attaches to virtually any vehicle
Provides continuous retroreflectivity measurements at all speeds up to the posted speed limit
Secure Wi-Fi operation and onboard data storage allows for near wireless function aside from a single 12-volt power cable outlet to the vehicle
Data is stored in a removable USB flash drive – don’t waste time downloading your data at the end of the day. Simply take the flash drive with you and plug it into your laptop
Fast, easy, accurate calibration – completely self-contained with no need to measure distances or find level ground
Measures and records the width of the stripe
