PROLOGUE

General Facts about NTPEP Reports NTPEP Reports contain data collected according to laboratory testing and field evaluation protocols

developed through consensus-based decision by the AASHTO’s NTPEP Oversight Committee. These test and evaluation protocols are described in the Project Work Plan which is available from AASHTO.

Products are voluntarily submitted by manufacturers for testing by NTPEP. Testing fees are assessed from

manufacturers to reimburse AASHTO member departments for conducting testing and to report results. AASHTO member departments provide a voluntary yearly contribution to support the administrative functions of NTPEP.

AASHTO/NTPEP does not endorse any manufacturer’s product over another. Use of certain proprietary

products as “test control specimens” does not constitute endorsement of those products.

AASHTO/NTPEP does not issue product approval or disapproval; rather, test data is furnished for the User to make judgment for product prequalification or approval for their transportation agency.

Guidelines for Proper Use of NTPEP Results

The User is urged to carefully read any Introductory notes at the beginning of this Report. Also, to consider any special clauses, footnotes or conditions which may apply to any test reported herein. Any of these notes may be relevant to the proper use of NTPEP test data.

The User of this Report must be sufficiently familiar with the product performance requirements and/or

(standard) specification of their agency in order to determine which test data is relevant to meeting those qualifying factors.

NTPEP test data is intended to be predictive of actual product performance. Where a transportation agency

has successful historical experience with a given product it is suggested to factor that precedence in granting or withholding product approval or prequalification.

NTPEP Report Special Advisory for Raised Pavement Markers (RPM)

For transportation agencies who desire to have temporary or permanent raised pavement markers periodically resubmitted for NTPEP evaluation, the Raised Pavement Markers Project Panel recommends a retest period of no less than 5 years. (Adopted May 1999)

The User is urged to read the introductory text to this NTPEP Report as it provides explanation on procedures and conduct of testing and relevant site specific information. Also, the User is urged to carefully read the Project Work Plan presented in Appendices of this NTPEP Report.

For specific questions regarding this NTPEP Report or for advice on how to implement NTPEP data

furnished in this Report the User is encouraged to contact the NTPEP Coordinator at (202) 624-3695 for a listing of NTPEP Lead States.

Background Information The purpose of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (AASHTO/NTPEP) is to provide an efficient, cost effective way of evaluating products that are used by member transportation departments in the construction of transportation facilities. Manufacturers/suppliers who wish to have their products considered for use on transportation projects submit their materials to a central/lead agency, which coordinates a testing program using one or more testing facilities. A report is generated showing the results of the testing, and distributed to member departments for their use in determining the applicability of the product(s) for use in their state. The NTPEP Project Panel on Raised Pavement Markers (RPMs) developed the procedures for this programs work plan. These procedures will be reviewed each year at the annual Oversight NTPEP committee meeting. This annual review will respond to the changing needs of member departments and the technical improvements provided by the industry. The NTPEP reports the results of these evaluations, but does not accept or reject products. However, transportation officials may choose to use the results of the evaluations in the development and maintenance of an approved products list. The Raised Pavement Marker Project Panel also recommends a retest for snowplowable pavement markers if marker configuration changes or every five years, which ever comes first. Under agreement with The American Traffic Safety Surfaces Association (ATSSA), this panel has two industry representatives. This ensures that industry concerns, experience and technical knowledge are considered in the testing and evaluation of products, material, and/or devices that are commonly used by the AASHTO Member Departments. Referenced Documents ASTM D4383 "Specification for Plowable, Raised Retroreflective Pavement Markers" ASTM E1696 "Test Method for Field Measurement of Raised Retroreflective Pavement Markers Using a Portable Retroreflectometer"

Testing Site and Reporting Requirements The test sites are selected to meet the following characteristics: - The roadway should be a fully access-controlled freeway with AADT over 20,000. - The pavement surface should not require crack sealing or extensive patching

during the evaluation period. - The roadway should be generally free of horizontal and vertical curves. - The minimum average snowfall should be 25 Inches per year controlled by a combination of plowing and salting. - The speed limit should be between 50 and 75 mph. Installation: Each manufacturer will supply all material, labor and equipment to completely install their RPMs. Each manufacturer will install a total of sixty complete RPMs. Thirty RPMs will be installed on Portland cement concrete pavement and thirty RPMs will be installed on asphalt concrete pavement. Each manufacture’s product will be put on the test deck in groups of ten. Field Observations: Testing will commence upon completion of the installation and continue for two years. Field observations of each housing and lens will be made biannually. Field observations of the marker night visibility will be made biannually by viewing each group of 10 RPMs. The following rating scales are used: - Housing (or Holder) Condition: 5 4 3 2 1 0 - Lens Face Condition: 5 4 3 2 1 0 - Night Visibility ** : 5 4 3 2 1 0 Housing: 5 = Excellent, Completely intact, in "Like New" condition, good adhesion 4 = Good, Minor scrapes/scratches visible on close examination of surfaces 3 = Fair, Some cuts but none larger than 10 mm 2 = Poor, Some cuts larger than 10 mm 1 = Very Poor, Showing significant wear, no longer protecting reflector 0 = Missing or damaged beyond use Lens: 5 = Excellent, Completely intact, in "Like New" condition 4 = Good, Minor scrapes/scratches visible on close examination of surfaces 3 = Fair, Some abrasion, none greater then 5 mm 2 = Poor, Some large cuts/cracks/chips greater than 5 mm 1 = Very Poor, Showing significant wear, significant discoloration 0 = Missing or damaged beyond use

Night Visibility: 5 = Excellent, completely intact, Bright, in "Like New" condition 4 = Good, Clearly visible from greater than 100 m (328 ft) 3 = Fair, Some loss in reflectivity, barely visible from 100 m (328 ft) 2 = Poor, Significant loss of reflectivity, visible from 50 m (165 ft) 1 = Very Poor, Significant loss of reflectivity, barely visible, discoloration 0 = Missing or totally Nonreflective ** Night visibility will be conducted during complete darkness by viewing the RPMs at 122 meters (400 feet) from a typical automobile using low-beam headlights. The following information will be provided in the final report: - Annual average daily traffic count at the test site - Percentage of truck traffic at the test site - Type of plow blades used during the testing period - Type of marker adhesive - Estimated number of plow passes over test site - Number of days sand and cinders were used each week - Millimeters of snow and rain during testing period - Extreme high and low temperatures during testing period - Laboratory test data - Bi-annual field ratings Laboratory Testing: The following lab tests are performed by the Florida Department of Transportation:

Coefficient of Luminous Intensity: Forty reflectors of each color will be tested for initial specific intensity in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.1. Abrasion resistance shall also be tested on the markers in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.2. Once the two year field evaluation is complete, the reflectors that can be removed intact will also be lab tested for retroreflectivity

The following lab tests are performed by the Georgia Department of Transportation:

Compressive Strength: Five reflectors will be tested in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.5. If a reflector only consists of a reflective face and does not have a base, this test will not be conducted. Five holders will be tested in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.6.

Lens Cracking: Five reflectors will be subject to lens impact testing and five more to temperature cycling in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.4. Note: Markers that have a mounting hole in the center of the reflector should be impacted in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.5.2, at a point that is one quarter of its total length from either end of the reflector.

Color: The color of the reflective lens will be reported as chromaticity coordinates for white, yellow, and red markers. The testing will be conducted in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.3.

The following lab test is performed by the Ohio Department of Transportation: Holder Ramp Hardness Testing: Five holders will be tested in accordance with ASTM D4383, Section 10.7.

Summary of Marker Installation The RPM’s were installed on WB drive lanes of Interstate 70, just west of Columbus Ohio. The asphalt and concrete sections were completed on 10/9/2008. Product installed: NTPEP Number - RPM (05OH)-01 Manufacturer: Ray-O-Lite Div. Pac Tec, Inc. Casting Model: Snow-lite 100 Lens Model: 3004 Casting Adhesive: PolyCarb 29 Lens Adhesive: Macco LN-602 The RPM’s were installed in groups of ten at a spacing of about 10 feet along the driving lane skip line. A 130 foot gap was left between each group of ten RPM’s. A representative from the manufacturer was present during the installation. The weather during the installation was partly sunny with temperatures between 60 - 70 degrees F.

Asphalt Section Installation The process was completed by first sawing cutting properly sized slots, blowing out the slot with compressed air, injecting the slot with epoxy, hand placing the RPM into the slot, and finally seating the RPM with foot pressure or lightly hammering to ensure that the tabs of the casting are flush with the pavement surface. Dry saw cut properly sized slot Blow out slot with compressed air

Inject epoxy into slot Place and seat casting

Concrete Section Installation The process was completed by first, wet saw cutting properly sized slots, blowing out with compressed air, allowing the area to dry, injecting the slot with epoxy, hand placing the RPM into the slot, and finally seating the RPM with foot pressure or lightly hammering to ensure that the tabs of the casting are flush with the pavement surface. Wet saw cut properly sized slot Blow slot out with compressed air

“The National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) was established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in early 1994. The program pools the professional and physical resources of the AASHTO member departments in order to test materials, products and devices of common interest. The primary goals of the program are to provide cost-effective evaluations for the states by eliminating duplication of routine testing by the states; and to reduce duplication of effort by the manufacturers who produce and market commonly used proprietary, engineered products.” NTPEP -- Rick Smutzer (IN), former NTPEP Chairman
