Spectrum Ultra Cold Plastic: Innovative, Sustainable Line Marking Solution

2. THE PRODUCT • What does it do? • The Spectrum Ultra Cold Plastic range comprises specialist line marking technology that utilises a cold cure, chemical reaction process. • The technology can be used in multiple formats to provide solutions that suit the application. • Stand out features that convert to tangible benefits are: • Excellent durability • Simple application

3. THE CHALLENGE SAFE – pragmatic and achievable solutions that eliminate KSI injuries to customers and workers alike INNOVATIVE – a new approach that delivers demonstrable benefits to a network fit for the 21st century SUSTAINABLE – meeting environmental and social needs by listening, predicting and responding to the customer EFFICIENT – a solution that can be delivered against the background of challenging human and financial resources

4. MEETING THE CHALLENGE SAFE • A 28% reduction in intervention on the highway • Keeping workers off the road • Reducing exposure of road users to works • Superb, increased and retained reflectivity • Increased perceived safety comfort for road users Cleaner application technology - reducing worker risk

5. MEETING THE CHALLENGE INNOVATIVE • Clarity of line markings • Essential for CAV (connected autonomous vehicles) • Maximum unambiguity of road scene • Vital in the transition between traditional and new technology • Contrast markings for lane assistance Perhaps less obvious, though, is the conclusion that autonomy could require enhanced standards of road maintenance, to ensure that driverless vehicles are able to ‘sense’ the road environment accurately – the delineation of the carriageway, lane markings, traffic signs and signals etc. One thing is for certain – whatever trajectory emerges for the driverless car, we won’t be travelling very far unless we have an adequately maintained network to drive on

6. MEETING THE CHALLENGE SUSTAINABLE Reduced intervention x reduced energy per application = double benefit • 28% reduction in intervention on the highway • Less environmental impact overall from mobilisation • Reduced energy consumption from less visits • Cleaner application and curing technology • Chemical reaction using less energy per visit • Sourcing from sustainable raw materials 73% reduction in micro-particle pollutants - all lining options use plastic – key reductions in rate of application and wear translate to a reduction in run-off to the order of 73%

7. MEETING THE CHALLENGE EFFICIENT • Economic gains of reduced intervention • Taking the lines element only, a recent study in Area 3 saved £16,000 per shift • Real cost reductions come from elimination of mobilisation including TM • Estimated £15m efficiency savings from one area alone • Representing the biggest single contributor to overall efficiencies • Contribution to society and the economy • Freer flowing roads with less disruption and economical gain • Reallocation of public funds

8. CONCLUSION Spectrum Ultra CPS is worthy of consideration alongside all other line marking methods for clearly exceeding the imperatives of line and surface marking for the network of today and tomorrow Thank you for your time
