Keeping Railroads Safe

Retroreflective conspicuity tape on the sides of railcars improves motorist safety at railroad crossings.

Railcars and locomotives face tough environmental conditions, and not all brands of reflective tape last as long as others. Now maintenance crews can quickly and economically evaluate retroreflective performance of the tape in compliance with AAR specifications and guidelines. USING PATENTED PROCESSES, the retroreflective surface is treated to purposely manipulate retroreflectivity levels. The process is verified using ASTM Standards E809-08 and E-810-03, and RoadVista® 940D photometric range system including light tunnel and goniometer to create the exact geometry in order to achieve and ensure retroreflective compliance. Panels are dated and numbered, with the data stored for future reference. Avery Dennison manufacturing facilities and quality laboratories comply with ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Standards. Improperly calibrated panels may waste time and money by causing good sheeting to be needlessly replaced. Worse yet, safety can be compromised by leaving bad sheeting in service on the railcar/locomotive. Trust only certified comparison panels measured by these ASTM test methods.
