• Abstract:
  The durability of delineators should be considered when selecting a product. Looking at the data ; gathered in this project, there was a considerable gap between the quality of the top three delineators tested ; and the other four. This led the researchers to recommend minimum average numbers of 150 tire impacts and ; 45 bumper impacts resisted as a pass/fail criterion for managed lane marker durability. This criterion would ; serve as a reasonable requirement ensuring that quality products meet a minimum threshold of performance. ; As the values are based on product testing, it ensures the criterion is an obtainable value for companies who ; intend to market their product for this application. ; The researchers developed a minimum requirement specification to ensure compliance according to ; the recommendations found within this report. This specification will help to ensure that the proper and more ; durable product is selected to be placed on Florida Department of Transportation roadways.
