QUALITY CONTROL OF HORIZONTAL ROAD MARKING APPLICATION DURING CERTIFICATION OF MARKING MACHINES
DOI: 10.33868/0365-8392-2019-3-259-24-29

Abstract. Horizontal road marking along with road signs is an essential factor that ensures road safety. The quality of road markings largely depends on the quality of the application. In today’s, for road marking are used road marking machines. They are complex high-performance automated units requiring highly professional operators. Stink to classify for the way of marking, design of the running gear, base machine, type of drive, productivity and the most important signs. The article describes the principles of the operation of marking machines and the main technical characteristics of machines from leading manufacturers: GRACO, SТiM, Hofmann. When applying road marking, special attention should be paid to the use of certified materials and certified equipment. The results of measuring the geometric and lighting indicators of horizontal road marking are presented. During certification, marking is applied with a marking machine. During the application, the thickness of the liquid paint layer is determined by a calibrated comb. To control the lighting technical characteristics of road marking – whiteness, retroreflectivity (Rl) and brightness (Qd) coefficients, a ZRM 1021 reflectometer and a ZRM 1013 retroreflectometer are used. Geometric indicators were measured with a tape measure.
The table of certification results of the Line Lazer IV 3900 machine is shown. Similar indicators were obtained during certification of the machines of Hofmann, Combizet Gruen, RoadLazer, etc. Deviations from the road marking indicators declared by the manufacturer are not observed for 3 years. All marking performed by verified marking machines meets the requirements of current regulations.
Keywords: certification of machines, durability of marking, retroreflectivity, accuracy of application, brightness.
