A line marking apparatus includes a closed circuit circulation system for line marking material. The circulation system comprises a pump (17) for circulating line marking material under pressure through the circuit from an outlet of the pump back to an inlet thereof. The circulation system also comprises an inlet (15) for introducing fresh line marking material to the circuit when required, the inlet being positioned upstream of the inlet of the pump. The circulation system further comprises means (19, 25) for controlling the pressure of line marking material downstream of the outlet of the pump. The circulation system moreover comprises an outlet for conducting pressurised line marking material to a spray nozzle (21) for marking a line (23) with the line marking material when the fluid pressure in the circulation system exceeds a threshold.

Abrégé

A method of marking a line includes providing a line marking apparatus including a body (21), a line marking head (29) movable relative to the body, and a positioning system (35, 37, 41, 43) for determining a geographical location of the line marking head. In addition, a mathematical model is provided for a line to be marked by the line marking head, the model being cumulatively updated in response to a position fix (61) obtained by the positioning system. The position of the line marking head is adjusted relative to the body in dependence upon the mathematical model.
