Summary

Introduction

Comfort and accessibility, most roads are furnished with different types of road equipment, such as road markings, road signs and street lighting. Immediately after manufacturing, the equipment is tested with respect to appropriate parameters, in order to guarantee that a proper product is delivered. This testing is performed in the factory, and, in some cases, immediately after application. After application or set up of road equipment, it is important to check it with regard to short- and long-term performance, which has to be carried out in situ. Such measurements are more complicated and time-consuming compared to laboratory testing. Solely methods considered reliable and cost-effective were taken into account
