ROADWAY-INFRASTRUCTURE-MAINTENANCE SYSTEM USING AUTOMATED VEHICLES
Abstract:
A roadway (18)-infrastructure-maintenance system (10) using automated-vehicles to maintain a roadway (18) includes an image-device and a controller (32). The imaging-device (14) is suitable to mount on a host-vehicle (12). The imaging-device (14) is used to detect an infrastructure-feature (16) proximate to a roadway (18) traveled by the host-vehicle (12). The controller (32) is in communication with the imaging-device (14). The controller (32) is configured to determine a need-for-maintenance (30) of the infrastructure-feature (16). The system (10) may include a digital-map (34) that indicates an expected-presence (36) of the infrastructure-feature (16), and the need-for-maintenance (30) may be indicated when the infrastructure-feature (16) is not-detected (66) as expected. The system (10) may also include a transmitter (42) in communication with the controller (32). The transmitter (42) may be used to communicate the need-for-maintenance (30) to a maintenance-organization (44).
