Abstract:

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has been actively searching for safer and more efficient methods of roadway and roadside maintenance. The Advanced Highway Maintenance and Construction Technology (AHMCT) Research Center has been developing successful Advanced Automation and Robotics (AAR) technologies and applying them to the maintenance and construction activities of Caltrans and other transportation agencies. AHMCT previously developed a telerobotic system that allows rapid movement of a vacuum nozzle under operator control from within the cab of a vacuum truck. The system could potentially improve worker safety and efficiency in many litter and debris collection operations. This report concerns the evaluation of such a commercial truck mounted telerobotic vacuum system used within Caltrans operations. Initial results suggest that the concept is viable and continues to be of value. The researchers provide suggested design improvements and recommend continued support and monitoring of operations.
