A concrete patching robot has a multi-axis robotic manipulator mounted on a powered, movable, platform that can be raised and lowered to access the underside of structures that may be substantial distances above the ground, for example, the underside of an elevated highway. The entire assembly is maneuverable under the work area and the platform may be raised to access the concrete. Once the work area is in reach of the arm, the device is able to use numerous tools to complete essential steps to repair the concrete.

A hose holder system includes a rigid holder having a substantially vertical section and a substantially horizontal section. A flexible sling movably couples with the substantially horizontal section and includes a first flap and a second flap. A hose couples with the rigid holder through the sling, the hose coupled between the first flap and second flap, the sling supporting a portion of the hose in a position substantially parallel with the substantially horizontal section of the rigid holder. A swiveling base is coupled with the rigid holder and includes an opening therethrough through which the hose passes substantially perpendicularly. In implementations the hose holder system is configured to allow the hose to contact no rigid element of the hose holder system between the opening and a dispenser during use. The hose may enter the sling at an about 90 degree angle and exit at an about 30-35 degree angle.

A line striper comprises a sprayer secured to a frame, and a guided wheel assembly rotatably mounted to the frame. The guided wheel assembly includes an adjustment disk with screw notches along its outer diameter, an alignment plate coaxially surrounding and abutting the adjustment disk, alignment screws threaded through the alignment plate to engage screw notches on the adjustment disk, and an antirotation lock. The screws set a rotational alignment of the alignment plate relative to the adjustment disk, and the adjustment disk is coupled via a spindle axle to a guide wheel. The antirotation lock engages a locking feature on the alignment plate, thereby fixing the orientation of the guide wheel relative to the wheeled frame at an angle determined by the rotational alignment.

The present device is a rumble strip forming apparatus for reducing the amount of reactive force transferred to the transporter. The rumble strip forming apparatus includes a transport, a lift device, a grinder, and a drive means that connect drive portions of the transport to the grinder to synchronize engagement of a cutting device with the pavement with forward movement of the transport while providing rearward movement of the grinder drum during cutting. The grinder is configured to provide both rotation of a pavement cutter and up and down movement of the pavement cutter while portions of the grinder remain in contact with the pavement.

A rubber-tired roller for the compaction of a ground, in particular for asphalt compaction, with a machine frame, a drive engine, a chassis driven by said drive engine with a front chassis part and a rear chassis part, at least one chassis part comprising at least two tires with running surfaces, which are arranged next to one another, at least one sprinkler system for the tires of the chassis part, which is configured to apply a liquid separating agent to the running surfaces of the tires, and a control unit for controlling the sprinkler system, wherein a temperature sensor is provided which is configured and arranged such that it determines the temperature of at least one tire, in particular the running surface of said tire. The invention moreover relates to a method for controlling a sprinkler system of such a rubber-tired roller.

Every time the haulage vehicle position data and the road surface condition data are received from a haulage vehicle 120, the segment including a position specified by the haulage vehicle position data, a reception time, and the road surface condition data are associated with one another for accumulation. Every time the repair vehicle position data and the work status data indicating a working state are received from a repair vehicle 130, the road surface condition data associated with the segment including a position specified by the accumulated repair vehicle position data is reset. Every time the road surface condition data is newly accumulated, a prediction function is determined to predict a chronological change in road surface conditions of the segment based on the road surface condition data accumulated on a segment-by-segment basis and a repair scheduled time-of-day is calculated according to the prediction function to output to an output apparatus.

A system and method for the application of friction-modifying coatings to roadways, walkways, pathways and other areas subject to vehicular, human or animal traffic, the system and method comprising the controlled, simultaneous application of binder and filler to a surface of a substrate, using a mobile device which passes over the substrate as the binder and filler are being applied. The system includes a frame coupled to a vehicle. A spray bar is mounted on the frame and includes an array of spray nozzles coupled to a resin container. An air knife is mounted on the frame and coupled to an air compressor for generating an air curtain. An aggregate dispenser bar including at least one aggregate dispenser is coupled to an aggregate bin and mounted on the frame for dispensing aggregate.
