The current pavement sign marking operations are manually carried out, which are labor-intensive. This method requires blocking traffic for a long period of time resulting serious traffic jam. Also, the workers are exposed to possible injury and even death by passing traffic. This paper deals with the development of a robotic system for automating the pavement sign painting operations. The robo...

Last years witnessed the growth of demand for road monitoring systems based on image or video analysis. These systems usually consist of a survey vehicle equipped with photo and video cameras, laser scanners and other instruments. Sensors mounted on the van collect different types of data while the vehicle goes along the road. Recorded video can be geographically referenced with the help of glo...

Pavement markings constitute an effective way of conveying regulations and guidance to drivers. They the most fundamental communicate with road users, thus, greatly contributing ensuring safety order on roads. However, due increasingly extensive traffic demand, pavement are subject a series deterioration issues (e.g., wear tear). Markings in poor condition typically manifest as being blurred or...

Pavement will inevitably be damaged in the process of use; pavement damage detection and assessment are an important part maintenance management. In order to prevent road diseases, it is necessary fix cracks implement automatic crack inspection monitoring. this paper, identification realized by constructing Mask R-CNN model. The labeled area can segmented pixels positioned at original data inte...

Accurate localization is a critically important issue for autonomous vehicles as it closely related to the safety and efficiency of driving. However, current technologies vehicle face many challenges. To provide accurate robust services vehicles, we propose novel solution by employing newly designed pavement marking. This marking operates on color contrast, temperature binary code with some spe...

The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) is undertaking a research program to study the visibility of retroreflective raised pavement markers (RRPMs). The focus of the initial effort is to determine the relative luminance of RRPMs and pavement markings (PMs) needed to produce adequate guidance on rural two-lane roadways at night. A driving simu...
