Abstract:

This research aimed to better understand 1) whether the significant investment of RPMs in New Jersey generates varying safety benefits at different locations; 2) whether there are alternatives or modifications to the existing RPMs; and 3) how to optimize the installation, monitoring, and maintenance of RPMs and their promising alternatives. This research reviewed previous studies and developed a methodological framework for quantifying the cost-effectiveness of RPMs and their alternatives. In addition to a preliminary statistical data analysis of the cost and potential safety benefit, the study also summarized a simple luminance measurement method for RPMs and other forms of pavement marking and delineation systems. Laboratory testing results and visual performance analyses are also presented in the study.
