| Abstract |
Crack sealing is a maintenance technique commonly used to prevent water and debris penetration and reduce future degradation in pavement. The conventional crack sealing operations are, however, dangerous, costly, and labor-intensive. Automating crack sealing will improve productivity and quality, and offer safety benefits by getting worker off the road. During the last two decades, several teleoperated and machine-vision assisted systems have been developed to automate the overall process of routing and sealing pavement cracks. However, the developed systems have not been commonly used in the construction sites because of the technical problems. Especially, the performance of end-effector, related to the productivity and quality improvement, is very important factor to improve the practical use of the developed systems. The main objective of this research is to develop an end-effector in automated pavement crack sealing machine and to analyze the technical feasibility of the developed end-effector. |
