Abstract

The principal objective of this study is to evaluate Dynamic Road Marking (DRM) technologies suitable for the replication of white lines. These technologies can be used to actively adapt the road layout in response to varying traffic conditions and therefore have the potential to increase road capacity, thus reducing congestion. Working in partnership with the Department for Transport (DfT), DRM manufacturers and their agents, the Highways Agency are carrying out a controlled evaluation (both test track and laboratory) of three DRM technologies in order to establish clear performance, application and implementation guidance. The evaluation of the DRM technologies is being assessed under the following performance criteria: Optical, Environmental, Installation and Maintenance, User Acceptance/Perception and Control. This paper presents the progress of the evaluation to date and identifies a positive way forward for the potential application and implementation of DRM technologies.
