Abstract:

This project examined the life cycle and economic efficiency of two pavement marking ; materials — inlaid tape and thermoplastic — to find the most economical product for specific ; traffic and weather conditions. Six locations in the state of Maryland were selected for data ; collection based on the amount of traffic and snowfall they receive, and the data was collected ; for one year. While one year of data yielded reliable and consistent results for a recent study of ; the life cycle of waterborne paint, the regressions for the durable materials in this study were ; unreliable and cannot be recommended. To ensure reliability and consistency in the estimation ; of the retroreflectivity of inlaid tape and thermoplastic, we suggest that future studies include ; more extensive data.
