* USA - All-weather Pavement Marking System Ready for Test
USA -Innovator/U.S. FHWA -1 Jan 2009: -- An all-weather pavement marking system developed by 3M is ready for tryouts in the real world after proving its worth in simulated conditions. The system, designed to enhance safety in work zones by making it easier for drivers to navigate, consists of high–build waterborne paint and glass beads that provide good visibility in dry conditions as well as optical elements made of a ceramic core surrounded by tiny, high–refractive–index beads to boost visibility in wet conditions. The technology was developed through funding from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration's Highways for LIFE initiative.
