چکیده
An Automated Road Maintenance Machine (ARMM) for automatically sealing pavement cracks has been developed by the University of Texas at Austin. Automating pavement crack sealing can improve safety, productivity and quality and reduce road user costs as well. Recent initial field trials of the full scale crack sealer have indicated that automated pavement crack sealing is now technically , economically, and financially feasible. This paper describes the methodology for determining the productivity of the ARMM to evaluate its performance. The main objective of the productivity study is to examine if the ARM.M can meet the productivity of a standard crack sealing crew. To predict the productivity of the ARMM under different field conditions , a mathematical model is developed and presented in this paper. Data for the productivity analysis will be collected from a series of field trials being conducted at the UT research campus and to be completed at five districts in the state of

Secure Bio-Cryptographic Authentication System for Cardless Automated Teller Machines
Security is a vital issue in the usage of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) for cash, cashless and many off the counter banking transactions. Weaknesses in the use of ATM machine could not only lead to loss of customer’s data confidentiality and integrity but also breach in the verification of user’s authentication. Several challenges are associated with the use of ATM smart card such as: card clo...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
متن کاملAutomatic road crack detection and classification using image processing techniques, machine learning and integrated models in urban areas: A novel image binarization technique
The quality of the road pavement has always been one of the major concerns for governments around the world. Cracks in the asphalt are one of the most common road tensions that generally threaten the safety of roads and highways. In recent years, automated inspection methods such as image and video processing have been considered due to the high cost and error of manual metho...
متن کاملMaintenance and Work-rest Scheduling in Human-machine System According to Fatigue and Reliability
Most manufacturers use human-machine systems to produce high-quality products. Dealing with human-machine systems is very complicated since not only machines should be utilized in proper condition but also appropriate environment should be provided for human resources. Most manufacturers have a maintenance plan for machines but many of them do not have a proper work-rest schedule for human reso...
