SYSTEMS FOR APPLYING ROADWAY SURFACE TREATMENTS, AND METHODS OF USING SAME
Systems and methods for applying roadway surface treatments. The system has an aggregate application assembly and a resin application assembly that are mounted or otherwise secured to a truck or other vehicle. The resin application assembly is spaced from the aggregate application assembly in the direction of travel of the vehicle. As the vehicle moves along a roadway surface, the resin and aggregate can be continuously applied such that the aggregate is provided to portions of the roadway surface that have been covered with resin.
Systems and methods for automating the application of friction-modifying coatings
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.
Spreader
A hopper spreader for installation on a vehicle has a flow regulator configured to regulate flow of particulate material from the container. The spreader has a conveyor mechanism for conveying particulate material to a spinner that distributes the particulate material to the surface over which the vehicle moves. The spreader also includes a flow regulation mechanism located between the particulate material in the hopper and the conveyor mechanism which is configured to regulate flow of material from the hopper to the conveyor mechanism.

The system includes a mobile platform configured for being coupled to a vehicle. A binder applicator is mounted on the mobile platform and coupled to a resin container. A plurality of openings is linearly arranged into two rows extending along the length of the binder applicator. An air knife is mounted on the mobile platform 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 mobile platform for dispensing aggregate.
UNIFORM SPREADING CONTROL SYSTEM
A uniform spreading control system includes a control module, which includes a basic controller and a uniform spreading controller, and connected to a vehicle speed detector, a material transferring device, and a material spreading device. The uniform spreading controller is configured to obtain a vehicle speed from the vehicle speed detector, and control a material transferring speed of the material transferring device and/or a material spreading speed of the material spreading device. The uniform spreading controller is configured to enable an ultra-low speed pulsation mode when the vehicle speed is lower than a vehicle speed lower limit.
