The objective of this study was to begin a systematic, cooperative effort to apply advanced robotics technologies to highway-related problems. An implementation model was developed which provides a systematic process leading to implementation. The study was limited to a list of seven potential problem areas selected by TxDOT management--flagging for traffic control, culvert clean-out and inspection, drilled shaft inspection, placement and retrieval of traffic cones, non-destructive testing of roadway density during construction, underwater inspection for scour and deterioration, and traffic signal and illumination bulb replacement. The study included field visits, interviews, telephone interviews with officials from the other 49 states, and literature review. Sandi National Laboratories' Robotic Vehicle Range contributed to the technology assessment portion of this study.
