This final report mainly focuses on evaluating overall performance of The University of Texas' Automated Road Maintenance Machine (ARMM). First, the ARMM's man-machine balanced control loop was further developed then rigorously tested and evaluated based on (1) accuracy, (2) time, and (3) quality of the resultant seal. The ARMM's productivity was estimated based on (1) the results of the efficiency evaluation of the man-machine control loop, (2) observations made during the series of field trials, and (3) a productivity model. It was concluded that the introduction of automated methods to the pavement crack sealing process will improve productivity, quality, and reduce costs and safety risks.
