Abstract:

The California Department of Transportation and the University of California, Davis, have jointly established the Advanced Highway Maintenance and Construction Technology (AHMCT) Center to explore the application of automation and robotics in transportation infrastructure construction and maintenance. This paper presents a brief overview of current research being conducted by the AHMCT Center including descriptions and photographs of actual automated and/or robotic systems under development. Special emphasis will identify unique requirements imposed by the highway, the benefits of each system relative to conventional maintenance and construction operations, general system descriptions and the current status of six projects nearing final deployment in California.
