<The markets for safety products.
Active signs.
The U.S. market for active signs is worth approximately $110 million.

Controllers.
The U.S. market for controllers is an estimated $242 million. This
figure has been calculated as follows:
Peek Traffic Systems has a 25% share of the U.S. traffic controller
market. http://www.unitywireless.com/company/news_detail.asp?newsid=20
Peek manufactures 6500 NEMA timers each year.
http://www.itraffic.org/Peek/PEEK_index.html
The price of a NEMA TS2 controller is between $660 and $1200.00 per
unit. The average price is $930.

The U.S. market for controllers is approximately 6500 x 4 per year =
26000 units.
26,000 x $930 = $241,800,000. The market is worth around $241
million.
Detection.
According to the report Advanced Traffic Detection, the global
detection market is currently in excess of $5 billion and is predicted
to be worth over $10 billion in five years.

Road studs.
The U.S. market for road studs is an estimated $65 - $104 million per
year and could be as high as $821 million if more superior intelligent
road studs are installed.
These figures have been calculated as follows:
The price of an average stud is $4.05 per unit. The average life of a
road stud is 2 to 5 years. I have assumed that they are replaced every
five years.
In addition road studs need replacing when roads are resurfaced. In
the U.S. during 2001 – 2002 over 9,600 miles of state highways were
resurfaced. http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:5hXQQTmJ-gYJ:www.budget.state.ny.us/pubs/executive/fy0304app1/dot.pdf+%22highway+were+resurfaced%22&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
On average 441 miles of new highway are constructed each year in the
U.S.
http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:szsRUOerEjsJ:www.house.gov/transportation/highway/05-21-02/mccormick.pdf+%22miles+of+new+highway%22+2002+dot&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
Resurfacing and new roads accounts for 10,041 miles of highway.
Studs are installed at intervals of 1-3 metres depending on road
conditions.
http://www.roadstud.co.kr/html_e/pro_3_1.html
Taking an average of a 2 metre interval, this works out at 880 studs
per mile.

However not all road have studs. In order to calculated the level of
studding, I looked for a site that gave the number of studs over a
large quantity of roads. I found that 4,700 km of road in
Hertfordshire has 93,000 road studs. This is equivalent to 32 studs
per mile.
http://enquire.hertscc.gov.uk/ltp/full/strats/carriage.htm
The US has approximately 4 million miles of highway.
http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:KqhVGRm8gcEJ:www2.icma.org/upload/library/2003-02/%257B5594ADFB-77C5-47CB-901F-93A0BBFA5072%257D.doc+%22miles+of+highway%22+%22in+the+us%22+dot&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
Assuming replacement of road studs every five years. The calculations
were made as follows.
32 x 4,000,000/5 = 25,600,000 units.
25,600,000 x $4.05 = $103,680,000
10,041 x 4.05 = 40,666
103, 680,000 + 40,666 = 103,720,666
The total is $104 million
The figures have been calculated using the price of a standard road
stud. However a new generation of intelligent road studs has been
developed. These are manufactured by Astucia at a cost of $32 each.
The potential market for intelligent road studs is $821 million.

In South Africa R 1 million was spent on road studs for a 2577km
stretch of road. This works out at an average of $81.90 per mile.
http://www.northern-cape.gov.za/docs/sp/showsp.asp?ID=153
4,010,041 x 81.9/5 = 65,684,471
Approximately $66 million.>
