Design Considerations for Automated Pavement Crack Sealing Machinery

by Steven A. Velinsky, Univ California-Davis, Davis, United States,
Kenneth R. Kirschke, Univ California-Davis, Davis, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Applications of Advanced Technologies in Transportation Engineering

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the numerous considerations for designing automated machinery for the sealing of cracks in pavement. Operational requirements are presented and a generic system architecture for such machinery is discussed. Two distinct automated machines are proposed, one to seal only longitudinal cracks, and the other to seal general cracks in pavement. The functions of the component subsystems is also presented.
