GENERAL INFORMATION
Rl Measurement
The Rl part of the LTL2000S(Q) Retroreflectometer measures the Rl (coefficient of retro re-
flected luminance) parameter. The Rl parameter represents the brightness of the road mark-
ings seen by drivers of motor vehicles by headlight illumination.
The illumination angle is 1.24° and the observation angle is 2.29° simulating a drivers view-
ing distance of 30 metres at an eye height of 1.2 metres. The observation area is app. 45 mm.
x 200 mm.
The optical specification complies with EN1436. The spectral sensitivity is eye matched us-
ing SMART optical filter designed and produced by DELTA. The functional layout of the
LTL2000S(Q) Rl optical system is shown in figure 3 below.
A very efficient electronic stray light compensation eliminates false signals from daylight.
