What’s iLINE?
It’s a cutting-edge mobile technology used by the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) that measures the condition, reflectivity, and wear of road line markings at full speed, in real time, and without lane closures.

At Dolphin Line Marking, we’re proud to support and align with the iLINE revolution, using data-driven insights to deliver smarter, safer, longer-lasting road markings.

Road markings aren’t just lines. They’re your lane. Your guide. Your first defence against confusion and chaos.

At Dolphin Line Marking, we know how much depends on a crisp, visible line especially at night, in the rain, or when you’re navigating tight corners especially on two wheels.

But how do you know when a line needs re-marking? When it’s faded? When it’s invisible in bad weather? When the budget finally allows for it?

Thanks to the iLINE system by ARRB, there’s a better way. And it’s changing the game for smart, safe, and cost-effective line marking across Australia.

Tech That Thinks Ahead

The iLINE isn’t just a truck with a sensor. It’s a data-gathering machine scanning roads at up to 120 km/h and delivering real-time insight into the condition of every line it passes.

  • It measures reflectivity
  • It tracks wear
  • It pinpoints the spots where drivers lose visual guidance
  • It does it without closing lanes or putting crews at risk

That’s right. No cones. No delays. No guesswork.

The data from iLINE helps road authorities decide when and where to re-mark, what materials to use, and how to extend the life of every line.

That means better planning. Lower costs. Fewer hazards.

Why It Matters

Faded lines don’t just look bad, they’re dangerous.
Without clear road markings, drivers drift, hesitate, or over-correct. That’s how accidents happen.

This is especially critical for:

  • Motorcyclists leaning into corners
  • Drivers at night relying on reflectivity
  • Wet roads where visibility drops fast
  • Autonomous vehicle systems that depend on lane markings to work safely

If the line’s gone, the guidance is gone.

That’s why Dolphin supports iLINE data to deliver smarter line marking solutions, especially on high-risk and high-traffic roads.

Smarter Planning =Safer Roads

Before iLINE, line condition was mostly guesswork. Someone would look at the road. Maybe run a handheld meter on a few spots. That’s it. Now?
We get line-by-line, every metre, across thousands of kilometres.
It tells us where the markings are failing — not just where they look faded.

With that intel, we know where to focus. We know where to upgrade to more durable materials.
We know where one section needs fresh paint — and where the rest is holding strong.

That means fewer full-road re-markings. More targeted fixes. And major cost savings for councils and commercial sites.

Durable Lines Where It Matters Most

Some road sections wear out faster, like those near ports, industrial zones, or sharp bends.
iLINE data helps spot these early.

We use that insight to apply tougher paints, thicker coats, or specialized reflective beads where they’re needed most.

That’s not just smart, it’s sustainable. Less waste. Longer lifespans. Safer results.

Dolphin Line Marking Delivers More Than Paint

At Dolphin Line Marking, we believe in more than just marking lines. We believe in building safer, smarter environments for drivers, riders, pedestrians, and future autonomous vehicles.

Whether it’s a hospital, retail centre, local street, or regional highway our lines keep people moving safely and confidently.

And when you combine Dolphin’s workmanship with iLINE’s precision, the result is unmatched.

Ready for a Road That Works Smarter?

If you’re managing a commercial car park, council network, or public space, now’s the time to think ahead. Don’t wait for lines to fade. Don’t guess what your road needs. Get data-driven.
