• Graphical logs make for effortless t-marking (indexing)

• Easily develop a comprehensive striping plan

• Low cost to implement and maintain

• Simplifies paint striping contract preparation

• Greater control over centerline specifications

• Accurate results

A No-Passing Zone study is required for proper striping of 2-lane roadways. Due to changes of roadways and the growth of foliage in the right-of-way, this study should be performed every several years. Aside from the protection from lawsuits, proper zoning makes your roads safer for the traveling public.

MasterMind® trained specialists utilize a two vehicle sight with light method to establish no-passing zones caused by vertical and/or horizontal curves. All data is collected using our own patented, state of the art, RoadMaster™ NPZ field software. Sight height and zone lengths are per your state’s MUTCD specifications. Zone lengths and intersection approach zones can be customized to your own specifications.

This study can be quoted to include a copy of the MasterMind® StripeMaster 6.1™ No-Passing Zone module for our Traffic Safety Suite™ software. All gathered information will be loaded into the software upon delviery. The centerline data can also be pulled into MasterMind®’s SignMaster™ 7 software as a GIS layer for a visual representation.

• Accurate and up-to-date sign inventory including height and reflectivity measurements

• Use work reports and visual representations to quickly initiate field work

• Develop a budget based on accurate summary reports

• Identify a management plan for the new retro-reflectivity specs

• Reduce agency and managerial liability

MasterMind® trained specialists will perform all work necessary to ensure the participating Agencies compatible survey data may be viewed/altered using leading GIS software packages, such as, esri® Arc® products. MasterMind® shall furnish esri® Shapefiles (including all attributes from the field survey) and KML files to the participating Agency. Each data set is molded into graphical layers which are great visual reports and are easy for workers to use in-field. The files shall include all information from designated field services, which MasterMind® has performed, along with any other required files contributed by the Agency. These files will allow integration of the field services data into the participating Agencies GIS.

Compatible Survey’s to be converted:

• No-Passing (Safe Passing) Zone
• Sign Inventory
• Sign Compliance
• Guiderail (Guardrail)
• Ball Bank (Curve)
• Right-Of-Way (Hazard)

• Accurate guardrail inventory including bridge guardrail and terminal assembly

• Use work reports to quickly initiate field work

• Develop a budget based on accurate summary reports

• Identify unneeded guardrail

• Reduce agency and managerial liability

MasterMind® trained specialists shall drive each route inventorying and inspecting all existing installed guardrail, including all bridge end terminal assembly, guardrail, and end treatment types. All guardrail found to be deficient shall have a work item generated suggesting corrective measures.

After all data is collected and returned to the office, the data is reviewed to ensure all work items are placed where corrective measures are required. All guardrail data is laid out in an easy to read report which is designed for your crew to use in the field. Study results are presented in our very own copyrighted graphical route layout report. The guardrail study information, coupled with a long term prioritized maintenance effort, ensures the best possible service to constituents in the most effective manner.

This inventory can be quoted to include a copy of MasterMind®’s RailMaster™ 6.1 guardrail management software. All collected guardrail information will be loaded into the software upon delivery. Work orders will be created, when needed for guardrail installation and/or removal – ready for you to prioritize work and schedule maintenance crews.

• Recommendations for clear zone maintenance

• Recommendations for guardrail installation

• Use work reports to quickly initiate field work

• Develop a prioritized maintenance plan

• Reduce agency and managerial liability

MasterMind® trained professionals shall perform a roadside hazard inventory of all fixed objects, parallel slopes, and perpendicular slopes located within an area designated, the clear zone. Study criteria is from the edge of road to the far edge of the clear zone. To gather this information, our trained professionals will drive each route twice measuring the distance and photographing items which may be deemed a hazard. MasterMind® shall recommend clear zone work and proposed guardrail installations.

After all data is collected and returned to the office, all Right-Of-Way hazard issues are reviewed to ensure all work items are placed where corrective measures are required . Corrective measures are laid out in an easy to read report that is designed for your sign crew to use in the field. Our reports make all hazardous items easily viewed.

This inventory can be quoted to include a copy of MasterMind®’s RailMaster™ 6.1 guardrail/right-of-way hazard management software. All collected right-of-way hazard information will be loaded into the software upon delivery.

• Accurate and detailed information for your DOT approval

• Independent unbiased speed zone warrant analysis

• Ensure safety with properly assigned speed zones

• Appease constituents inquiring about a speed zone

• Reduce agency and managerial liability

To properly assign a speed zone, the proper data must be collected and approved by your District DOT. Each zone shall be at least 0.5 miles and less than 2.0 miles in length. The 2.0 mile maximum length is not a required specification, however, zones longer than 2.0 miles usually get split into smaller zones or shortened. Also, longer zones tend to result in higher calculated speeds. MasterMind® trained specialists will lay a minimum of two (2) traffic counts in each zone. The count shall be conducted in a manner which records vehicle speeds of freely flowing unimpeded traffic. The traffic count / speed check is used to obtain the following information:

• 85th Percentile Speed – The speed at or under which 85% of the vehicles tested were traveling.
• Pace – The ten (10) mph grouping that encompasses the greatest number of vehicles.
• ADT- Average daily total vehicular count.

MasterMind® will be required to identify physical profile information including houses, businesses, and traffic control devices. MasterMind® shall take digital photos of the zone at each end looking inward and will be required to obtain site specific accident information for the previous three years from the Ohio Department of Public Safety. MasterMind® shall perform the “Speed Zone Study” per the requirements of the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Traffic Engineering Manual.

After all data is collected and returned to the office, all information is reviewed to ensure everything is in order for submission to your DOT. All inventoried information shall be included in the “Speed Study Data Sheet” which is an ODOT specific report upon delivery.

• Accurate inventory of all pavement markings

• Identify questionable markings

• Identify areas in need of additional markings

• Save time in creation of striping bid plans

• Reduce agency and managerial liability

A Pavement Marking Inventory is essential for any agency with auxiliary markings to maintain. MasterMind® trained professionals will perform an inventory of every marking under your jurisdiction including the following:

After all data is collected and returned to the office, all pavement marking information is groomed to ensure all totals are accurate. All lengths of line will be recorded and totaled into a detailed report. All study results are presented in our very own Auxiliary Marking Totals report.
