Abstract:The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is interested in finding a more efficient and accurate restriping system than the current system in use in order to save costs and/or accomplish the same work using fewer field personnel. Therefore, this report details the potential financial advantages for KDOT to deploy an automated pavement restriping system such as the LifeMark®-300 system or the LifeMark®-100 system, which are both equipped with industrial cameras, control systems, and GPS systems. Although the benefits of an automated restriping system include savings of labor cost and preparation work, these automated systems require significant initial financial investment to buy and maintain. Study results identified a benefit-cost ratio of 0.81 for the application of an automated pavement restriping system over a 30-year period. However, potential benefits such as increased worker safety and flexibility were evident with the automated pavement striping systems.
