That driver struck and killed a Caltrans employee who was dutifully working on the side of the highway. Worse yet, the driver fled the scene. After he was […]
THE IMPACT OF THE ROBOTIC CRACK SEALER
As is true with other areas of our country’s infrastructure, the roadways of America play a pivotal role in how we live our daily lives. High-quality roads are essential for getting to school, getting to our jobs, seeing our friends and loved ones and so much more. Having said that, while road construction work zones […]
RMV CAN SUPPORT & EMPOWER ROAD WORKERS
For years, there has been a fear in a variety of industries that robotics and automation, in general, were coming to “steal” jobs from hardworking men and women across the country. This is perhaps no more evident than it has been in terms of road work, where new solutions are emerging all the time that […]
CRACK SEALING ESSENTIALS
There are various types of distress within pavement, cracks being one of them. Major concerns within cracks are preventable if proper repairs, like crack sealing, happen in the early stages. Pavement distress is an effect of all kinds of reasons- varying from Temperature Continuous climate changes Heavy traffic loads Aged pavement All of […]
HOW RMV BECAME A REALITY FROM A CONCEPT
Robotic Maintenance Vehicles began as a concept from Pioneer Industrial Systems (PIS) to provide safer work zones for our nation’s highway maintenance crews. As an Authorized Systems Integrator for FANUC America, Pioneer Industrial Systems’ expertise is in robotics and automation, specifically in the areas of fluid dispensing, vision systems, line tracking, modular designs, and system […]
