 Executive Summary 
This report covers a Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) project to enhance an automated raised pavement marker (RPM) placement machine developed under a previous Georgia DOT research project, Development of an Automated Raised Pavement Marker Placement Machine. This project utilized the delivered hardware and software from the previous project including the full-scale, truck-mounted RPM placement system. In particular, the project focused on modifying all existing components to accommodate 4" X 4" sand-bottom raised pavement markers including two placement mechanisms, two telescoping slides, and two sets of hoppers, thereby permitting simultaneous placement of two markers in the four patterns used along the centerline stripes on two-lane roads. This report describes in detail the enhancements and modifications made to the system and results of five road trials. Road trial reports that include detailed data collected during the road trial are included in the appendices. The user manual developed to assist in the training of Georgia Department of Transportation Maintenance Activities Unit (MAU) personnel is included as an appendix. 
By the end of the road trials, the enhanced RPM placement system was reliably placing 4" X 4" sand-bottom raised pavement markers along single-skip lines. After some development over the course of the road trials, the hoppers, placement mechanisms, telescoping slides, and adhesive applicators are performing well. The marker placements along US 129/GA 11 were made at a rate of just over 170 markers/hour. The first 190 marker placements along I-85 were made at a rate of just over 297 markers/hour. 
The placed markers on the smooth concrete surface of US 129/GA 11 have a very good adhesive distribution appearance with adhesive squeezed out around the entire perimeter of the marker. The placed markers on the rough-surface, open-graded asphalt surface of I-85 do not have as good an appearance. There are typically one or more gaps in the adhesive squeezed out around the perimeter of the marker. However, the retention of those placements has been good in the first six weeks of service under heavy traffic including heavy truck traffic. On January 15, 2009, a MAU employee called to report that only one marker placed by the system was missing from the 4-mile stretch of I-85. He said that some markers showed damage such as broken lenses from the heavy traffic, but had remained in place. 
A custom, 50-gallon melter-pump unit with pressure feedback control is in place to supply hotmelt adhesive to the adhesive dispensers. The new melter is reliably supplying 1000 psi to the applicators with a melt tank capacity for about 4 hours of production. A 25 kW diesel enginegenerator set fueled off the vehicle fuel tanks is in place to power the system components. This unit has worked reliably since installation. 
Known mechanical issues such as cooling of the applicator nozzle during idle periods and stowage of the placement mechanism for transport have been addressed during the redesign for 4" X 4" markers and with additional, specific modifications. The Stripe Tracker software has been modified to add features to make the system simpler to set up and operate and to add features requested by MAU. Additional software testing has been conducted, both stationary and in motion, to verify software function and to identify software errors. Additional changes have been made to address issues identified during the road trials and software tests.

 Introduction 
Background 
Departments of transportation across the country utilize raised pavement markers (RPMs) to supplement the visibility of their lane stripes, especially in inclement weather. Many millions of these markers are used nationwide every year. Currently, these markers are placed manually, leading to significant costs and the attendant safety concerns for the personnel involved. The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has developed an automated RPM placement system, with sponsorship from Georgia DOT, that includes two placement mechanisms, each capable of dispensing an RPM onto the pavement together with the necessary hot-melt adhesive applied at 380 F while traveling at 5 mph. The placement mechanisms are supported on a pattern-change mechanism that can position the two placement mechanisms to accommodate any of five specified RPM placement patterns. The RPM handling components, including the hoppers, loaders, dispensers, telescoping slide, bumper, placement ramp, and pusher, were originally designed for the Avery-Dennison C-80 marker, that were in use by Georgia DOT at the time. 
The C80 marker is assembled from injection molded plastic parts with a base dimension of 4.54" X 3.18". Georgia DOT, however, has since changed the RPM specification to require a nominal base dimension of 4" X 4", a sanded bottom, and a glass lens. The available 4" X 4", sandedbottom markers weigh more than twice as much as the C-80 marker and likely will have more kinetic energy that must be dissipated at the bottom of the telescoping slide. 
This project built on the results of Georgia DOT Project No. 2046, Development of an Automated Raised Pavement Marker Placement Machine. The project utilized the delivered hardware and software from the previous project, including the full-scale, truck-mounted RPM Placement System. The project included modifying all existing components to handle 4" X 4" markers including two placement mechanisms, two telescoping slides, and two sets of hoppers, thereby permitting simultaneous placement of two markers in the four patterns used along the centerline stripes on two-lane roads. The project also included the addition of a new adhesive melter-pump unit with a 50-gallon melt kettle and a 25 kW diesel engine-generator set fueled off the truck fuel tanks. 
Project Objectives 
The objectives of the current project were to enhance the RPM placement system to allow for production operation and to modify the RPM placement system to utilize the nominal 4" X 4" markers that are expected to be used under contract in the near future. The production schedule included two, 4-hour production runs in a day separated by a 1-hour lunch break. 
Specific enhancements included: 
 Modify the existing hopper design and placement ramp and redesign the telescoping slide to accommodate the new RPM specification. (The new GDOT specification will call for a 4" X 4" base, a sanded bottom, and a glass lens.) 
 Purchase and install a diesel engine-generator set fueled off the vehicle fuel tanks to power the system components.

  Purchase and install a 50-gallon melter-pump unit with pressure feedback control to supply hot-melt adhesive to the adhesive dispensers. 
 Temporarily reinstall the existing Model 3409 melter-pump unit with pressure feedback control to permit development, road trials, and training during the purchase and lead-time of the 50-gallon melter-pump unit. 
 Investigate the impact of vehicle speed variation on marker placement acceptability, addition of speed compensation, and the addition of a low-speed speed controller or cruise control to assist the driver in maintaining vehicle speed. 
 Modify the existing RPM placement mechanisms to address known issues such as cooling of the applicator nozzle during idle periods, stowage of the placement mechanism for transport, and reduction of adhesive buildup on the system components. 
The project also included an iterative sequence of road trials and system modifications that were used to improve the performance and reliability of the system and to train MAU personnel in the operation of the RPM placement system.

 Discussion of RPM System Enhancements and Modifications 
This project built on the results of GDOT Project No. 2046, Task 02-9, Development of an Automated Raised Pavement Marker Placement Machine. The project utilized the delivered hardware and software from the previous project, including the full-scale, truck-mounted RPM Placement System. The project included modifying all existing components to handle 4" X 4" markers, including two placement mechanisms, two telescoping slides, and two sets of hoppers, thereby permitting simultaneous placement of two markers in the four patterns used along the centerline stripes on two-lane roads. The project also included the addition of a new adhesive melter-pump unit with a 50-gallon melt kettle and a 25 kW diesel engine-generator set fueled off the truck fuel tanks. 
Modify hopper, placement ramp, and telescoping slide designs 
Objective: Modify the existing hopper design and placement ramp and redesign the telescoping slide to accommodate the new RPM specification (4" X 4" base, a sanded bottom, and a glass lens) 
A new RPM guide was designed for the hoppers. The RPM guide constrains the stack of markers above the RPM dispenser. The previous RPM guides could only hold the Stimsonite C80 RPM. The new hopper can hold 4" X 4", sanded-bottom markers from Rayolite, Ennis, and Apex without changes. 
The loader arm design was also revised. The 4" X 4" RPMs are two to three times heavier than the plastic markers represented by the Stimsonite C80 RPM. When dispensing a marker, for a brief moment the loader arm supports the weight of all the markers in the stack. To handle the two to three times increase in load, the loader arm was strengthened by manufacturing it from stainless steel instead of aluminum. Also, the " pneumatic cylinder that actuates the arm was replaced with a 1 " cylinder, which increases the actuation force by six times. 
The new hopper and revised loader have performed satisfactorily in the recent field trials. 
The sand bottoms on the 4" X 4" RPM required a different telescoping slide design. First, they were too large to fit into the original design. Also, in the original slide design, the plastic bottom of the marker had two lines of contact with the stainless steel tubes of the slide. The sanded bottom of the 4" X 4" markers is equivalent to sand paper. The limited wear area from the two lines of contact would rapidly wear the slide. A slide that contacted the entire area of the 4" X 4" markers was required. 
GTRI was concerned about the effect of the sanded-bottom RPMs on the performance of surfaces that the markers will slide on, including the loader arm, the slide, and the marker guides and ramp in the placement mechanism. Tests have been conducted to compare sliding of 4" X 4" sanded-bottom RPMs on smooth and abraded stainless steel surfaces. High-speed video was used to capture the results of the tests and to provide time measurements. GTRI could not measure any change in performance between smooth and abraded stainless steel surfaces. GTRI investigated the fabrication of the wear surfaces from both hardened 440C stainless steel and stainless steel that had been coated with a ceramic coating. At the time of fabrication of the stainless steel parts for the slide, GTRI planned to have the parts coated with ceramic. Once GTRI obtained the price quotation and learned that four additional sets of stainless steel components could be purchased for the price of the ceramic coating, GTRI decided against the ceramic coating.

 A wear strip was designed to protect the placement ramp. The C80 marker has a narrow vertical surface below the angled reflector for the pusher to apply force to. Some of the 4" X 4" markers have a sharp edge below the angled marker. The placement ramp wear strip and the pusher were designed such that the wear strip does not provide an exposed edge that might deflect the falling marker and the pusher extends below the surface that the marker sits on such that the angled reflector cannot wedge underneath the pusher. 
GTRI did coat one of the wear strips that protect the placement ramp with a ceramic coating. In several places, the coating wore off leaving the base metal exposed. 
The new telescoping slide, shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, used a scissors mechanism for support. A further advantage of this design is an extension-to-retraction ratio of three. The previous slide had a ratio that was less than two. The new slide allows the placement mechanism to be stowed higher off the ground. The limiting factor on stowed height was the extension-toretraction ratio of the original telescoping slide.

Figure 2. New telescoping slide showing nesting slide components. 
 
Due to the increased weight of the 4" X 4" RPMs, GTRI designed a new bumper system to decelerate RPMs at the end of the telescoping slide. A series of tests were conducted on marker impacts on candidate bumpers and guides placed at the end of a slide. High-speed video was used to capture the results of the impacts. The bumpers are based on the use of a viscoelastic polyurethane to absorb the kinetic energy of the sliding marker. The size and thickness of the polyurethane were varied. The type of skin used to protect the polyurethane was varied. The location, orientation, and shape of intermediate marker guides were varied. The resulting design uses a viscoelastic polyurethane from Sorbothane sandwiched between two pieces of stainless steel. The falling marker first impacts a horizontal guide then impacts a vertical bumper. A vertical bumper is in place on the opposite side of the placement mechanism to absorb the kinetic energy contained in the rebound of the marker. During field trials, GTRI found that occasionally 
4 
 
 the RPM would jam on the top of the inboard bumper. Adding an extension to this bumper solved the problem. Figure 3 shows the placement mechanism with the new features. 
 
Purchase and install a diesel engine-generator set 
Objective: Purchase and install a diesel engine-generator set fueled off the vehicle fuel tanks to power the system components 
 
The project proposal was based on the purchase of a 25 kW diesel engine-generator set. In February 2008, we learned that that model was no longer available. That vendor offered to provide a 35 kW unit at the same price, but that unit was too large to fit in the space available on the marker placement truckbed. Given the unexpected complication of the melter- 
 
pump unit acquisition described below, work did not begin on Figure 3. Placement mechanism

system, and wear strip on ramp. 
 
The diesel engine-generator set was delivered to Georgia Tech on August 5, 2008. The installation of the diesel engine-generator set and the custom, adhesive melter-pump unit with a 50-gallon melt tank were completed on August 19, 2008. The vendor's technician met GTRI staff at the MAU shop to conduct the engine startup and maintenance orientation on August 20, 2008. However, during that session, the technician was not able to run the engine using the fuel lines connected to the vehicle fuel tank. After making the suggested modifications to the fuel line, GTRI staff were not able to start the engine at Georgia Tech. A second visit from the vendor's technician on September 2, 2008 was required to get the engine started and running from the vehicle fuel tank. 
 
Purchase and install a 50-gallon melter-pump unit 
Objective: Purchase and install a 50-gallon melter-pump unit with pressure feedback control to supply hot-melt adhesive to the adhesive dispensers 
During the original system development, a pair of Model 1908 melter-pump units were purchased and installed on the marker placement truck. During testing, these units did not reliably supply adhesive at 1000 psi. Later in the development, the original hot-melt adhesive applicator was replaced by applicators of a new design with more than twice the dispensing volume. At this point, the Model 1908 melter-pump units were inadequate to provide the necessary throughput for the applicators operating at the target vehicle speed. The vendor offered to accept one Model 1908 melter-pump unit as a trade-in and to refurbish an existing Model 3400 melter-pump unit to complete our development testing and road trials. This unit performed adequately for that purpose but was not suitable for production use. Specifically, the melt tank volume was too small, and the melt tank design overheats the adhesive when the tank level is low. 
Enhancements to the system requested by MAU included a melter-pump unit that could hold enough adhesive for at least four hours of operation without refilling. During the proposal preparation, the vendor developed a drawing and a budgetary quotation for a melter-pump unit 
 
5 
 
 with a 50-gallon melt tank that would supply adhesive at the necessary flowrate at 1000 psi. GTRI requested that the unit be quoted for installation directly on the truck bed with no enclosure required. 
 
GTRI met with personnel from MAU on October 3, 2007 to review the specifications for the 50gallon melter-pump unit. GTRI sent Specifications for production melter for RPM placement system Rev1.pdf to the vendor on October 18, 2007. After reviewing the draft specifications document, the vendor replied; the reply read in part that the vendor would be unwilling to quote on a melter-pump system for use out of doors. On October 22, 2007, GTRI suggested a revised approach. GTRI suggested that the vendor quote a unit rated for stationary, indoor use. GTRI would then take responsibility for mounting the unit and enclosing the unit inside a NEMA4 enclosure to protect it from the environment and to protect people from accidental spills. On October 23, 2007, the vendor indicated that the proposed solution was acceptable. This solution introduced new requirements and interface issues for the melter-pump unit including: the design of the enclosure, the interior space that would be available for the melter-pump unit, the cooling requirements, etc. 
 
The chief engineer from the vendor visited GTRI on November 27, 2007 to discuss the remaining issues on the melter-pump unit and the custom enclosure to house the melter-pump unit. The discussion issues included the installation of the melter-pump unit in the enclosure, cooling fans and exhaust vents, the remote controls enclosure and corresponding window in the enclosure door, the installation of the start and stop buttons, and the project schedule. The engineer also made recommendations for modifications to the hoses, applicators, and connectors to increase the life and reliability of these components in outdoor use. Additional discussions followed via exchanges of emails and drawings. On November 30, 2007, the sales manager from the vendor responded negatively to our request for an 8-week delivery and indicated that they would not be able to meet a delivery schedule of less than 14 weeks. 
 
GIT Purchasing issued the Purchase Order to the vendor on December 21, 2007. The vendor acknowledged receipt of the order on December 21, 2007 and estimated the shipment date to be on or before April 4, 2008. The completion and shipment of the melter-pump unit was delayed, first by late receipt of a critical purchased component and later by failure of an O-ring during testing and the necessary rework and retesting. The melter-pump unit was shipped on May 28, 2008. 
 
The 50-gallon melter-pump unit is shown in Figure 4. The temperature controls and start-stop button box can be seen at the right of the photograph.

 23, 2007. A quotation was received for a preliminary enclosure design on November 5, 2007. Detailed design proceeded on the enclosure including exchanges of drawings with the melterpump unit vendor to coordinate the enclosure design with the 50-gallon melter-pump unit design. Issues addressed included the door opening of the enclosure, the procedure for installing the unit in the enclosure, the location of cooling fans and exhaust grills, and the location and mounting of controls. 
The custom enclosure was ordered on February 21, 2008. The enclosure was received at GTRI on April 10, 2008. The enclosure is shown in Figure Figure 5. Upper door of melter-pump unit 6. The fan cutouts in the enclosure side and the enclosure with powered-up temperature cable-and-hose access cutout in the enclosure controller visible through the window. bottom are visible through the open lower door. Figure 5 shows the upper door of the enclosure with the 50 gallon melter-pump unit installed inside. The buttons of the start-stop button box have been mounted in the three cutouts on the upper door. The temperature control panel is visible through the window in the upper door. 
 
Temporarily reinstall Model 3409 melter-pump unit 
Objective: Temporarily reinstall the existing Model 3409 melter-pump unit with pressure feedback control to permit development, road trials, and training during the purchase and lead-time of the 50gallon melter-pump unit 
At the time of the proposal preparation, it was anticipated that the existing Model 3409 melterpump unit would be removed from its caster frame and installed on the truckbed for use until the custom, 50-gallon melter-pump unit was purchased and installed. Once we began work on this task, we decided to place the Model 3409 melter-pump unit, still mounted on its caster frame, onto the truckbed. The caster frame was blocked up off the casters. The caster frame was secured to the truckbed with ratchet tie-down straps. This low-cost solution was satisfactory for the duration of the testing and road trials prior to installation of the 50-gallon melter-pump unit. 
 
Address other known issues 
 
Objectives: Modify the existing RPM placement mechanisms to 
 
address known issues such as cooling of the applicator nozzle 
 
during idle periods, stowage of the placement mechanism for 
 
transport, reduction of adhesive buildup on the system 
 
components 
 
Our field testing revealed a problem with the first RPM 
 
Figure 6. Custom enclosure for 50gallon melter-pump unit 
 
placement after a long period of being idle. It was 
 
7 
 
 discovered that the applicator nozzle cooled during the idle period and slowed the flow of adhesive. Once sequential operation begins, the heat from the adhesive of previous RPM placements keeps the nozzle at an operating temperature such that the adhesive dispense delay is repeatable. Installing thermal grease between the nozzle and the manifold solved the problem with the initial placement. 
The placement mechanisms needed further securing while stowed. The carriage allows each placement mechanism to pitch and roll. A passive hook was developed to secure the placement mechanisms to the carriage when stowed for travel. A turnbuckle was installed to support the mechanisms when stowed. The passive hooks that secure the mechanisms when stowed are designed to work at a specific stow height. The turnbuckle allows the stow height to be adjusted. Tie down straps were added to secure the rear of the mechanisms when stowed. This also required shortening the front cable guide so that it did not hit the frame with the placement mechanism stowed at the new height. 
Once the road trials had begun, another issue was identified that required significant effort. The adhesive was not fully covering the bottom of the placed markers. Typically, one or both corners of the marker toward the direction of travel were not covered. 
The adhesive dispensing pattern is determined by a nozzle plate with a series of holes. The nozzle plate that was in use at the beginning of this project had six, 0.234" diameter holes. The distance between the outboard holes and the middle holes was greater than the distance between the middle holes and the inner holes. The extra distance to the outboard holes was helpful when placing the plastic C80 markers. That marker measures approximately 4.5" wide compared to the 4" wide, 4" X 4" markers. The extra distance gave better adhesive coverage on those markers. 
A development effort was begun to improve the adhesive distribution by changing the design of the nozzle plate. A series of seven design variations were tried, counting the original design. Evaluation included marker placements on Lambert Street and observations of the adhesive flow using the high-speed video system. The seven design variations are described in Appendix G. 
The last two nozzle plates had four holes with at least two holes angled toward the center. This change resulted in more adhesive underneath the marker and less splash. Revision 7 with the outer two holes angled both in and down gave the best adhesive distribution, typically with all but a very small area of one or two corners not covered and a margin of adhesive squeezed out around most of the perimeter. 
Modify Stripe Tracker Software 
The Stripe Tracker software has been modified to add features to make the system simpler to set up and operate and to add features requested by GDOT MAU. The setup variables in the configuration file are currently in odometer encoder counts. A dialog window has been added to the user interface for accessing and changing configuration file variables during operation. The distance between placements and the offset from the edge of the skip can be set in feet and inches from this setup window. This setup window is described in Appendix A on pages A-12 and A13. A software modification had been performed prior to the second GA 20 road trial in May 2007 to permit placing markers either before or after the skip for the single-skip pattern only. This change has been propagated to all five stripe patterns. The capability to measure the length of the skip has been added for placement after the skip. (It will not be possible to add this feature 
8 
 
 for placement before the skip.) This will allow an additional check to prevent placing markers after very long (greater than one foot) pre-line or temporary skips. 
Additional software testing has been conducted, both stationary and in motion, to verify software function and to identify software errors. Additional changes have been made to address issues identified during the road trials and software tests. Significant time was devoted to the patternchange routine used at intersections and at pattern changes along centerline skips on two-lane roads. This issue is complicated by the fact that the time required to load markers into the placement mechanisms is almost as large as the time between when the guide wheel crosses the pattern change location and when the placement mechanism reaches the desired placement location. This issue was not fully resolved by the end of the project. 
A list of software modifications made during this project is included as Appendix H. 
Compensate for Vehicle Speed and Add Vehicle Speed Control 
The automated RPM placement and adhesive dispensing system is clearly affected by vehicle speed. The adhesive dispense operation takes a period of time, and the vehicle speed determines the longitudinal length of the resulting adhesive puddle. The marker placement operation also takes a period of time, and an estimate of that length of time is converted to a distance offset based on vehicle speed for generating the placement trigger to achieve a target longitudinal offset distance from the end of the skip to the marker. The RPM placement operation is currently assumed to be consistent in time. However, the length of the marker placement operation may be affected by vehicle speed since the marker impacts the pavement and contacts the press rollers driven at a surface speed matching the vehicle speed. There is an adhesive time delay adjustment that is used to time the adhesive dispensing operation relative to the marker placement operation. Currently, this adhesive time delay adjustment is made manually through a keypad entry on the DC Pattern Controller. 
At the beginning of this project, we did not have any quantitative data showing the impact of vehicle speed on the acceptability of the resulting placement. We had planned to investigate the impact of vehicle speed on the longitudinal placement of the marker in the adhesive puddle. During the road trials, we attempted to capture the speed at placement via three methods, 1) logfile recording of the speed calculated by the Stripe Tracker Software from the odometer encoder readings, 2) 120-frame-per-second images of the placement event that have a speedometer display from the odometer encoder in the camera field of view, and 3) a speed measurement from a GPS receiver captured just after the marker placement. We have logfile speed measurements for all placements, images of the speedometer display for the vast majority of placements, but no GPS receiver speed measurements. (We succeeded in capturing the latitude and longitude of the vast majority of marker placements, but no speed measurements.) We also have camera images of the vast majority of placed markers taken from overhead with a video camera running at 30 frames per second with an exposure time of 1/1000 second to minimize blurring. 
While we now have some data available to investigate the effect of speed at placement on the longitudinal placement of the marker in the adhesive puddle, we have not done this analysis. No method has been added to the system to permit automatic adjustment of the delay time based on vehicle speed. Qualitatively, we were able to select a delay on the DC Pattern Controller that 
9 
 
 gave acceptable results. For the October 22, 2008 road trial, the images of the placed markers, sorted in order of speed at placement, can be seen in Appendix D. We do believe that consistent placement quality can best be achieved with a consistent vehicle speed. Placement speed data from recent placement trials suggests that it is difficult for the driver to maintain a consistent vehicle speed in the range of 4 to 5 mph. The slowest mark on the vehicle speedometer is the 5-mph mark. We have replaced the wheel odometer encoder with a version with two output channels. During the road trials, the second channel drove a speedometer display that was mounted in the camera field of view of the 120-frame-per-second image capture camera. This speedometer display can be moved into the cab to assist the driver. We identified two aftermarket speed controllers to assist the driver in maintaining a constant vehicle speed near the target speed. We identified one potential candidate that is used to maintain the speed of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and small utility vehicles used in agricultural spraying operations at very low-speed setpoints. The manufacturer is very interested in this application, but needed to make additional software modifications to the unit prior to application. We purchased a unit from a second vendor that makes speed controllers for large trucks for both lowspeed and high-speed applications. This speed controller has not yet been installed on the marker placement truck.

 Results of Road Trials 
A variety of testing was conducted on the Georgia Tech Campus. Mechanism and dispensing tests were conducted with a high-speed video system. Some system software testing was conducted indoors by driving the wheel odometer encoder to simulate motion. A number of placement tests were conducted on Lambert Street. In addition, we conducted five road trials with the GDOT MAU. For each of those tests, GDOT MAU selected the test site, provided traffic control for a moving lane closure, and provided the driver for the marker placement truck. The operator training session was completed on October 22, 2008. On subsequent road trials, GDOT personnel carried out other operating tasks in addition to driving the truck. These tasks included start-up and deployment tasks, loading markers, loading adhesive, and shut-down and stowing tasks. 
The five road trials are briefly summarized below. More detailed road trial reports are included as appendices to this report. 
Road trial on GA 14 Spur on July 16, 2008 
On July 16, 2008, a short road trial was conducted on GA 14 Spur. This was the first road trial where the system placed 4" X 4" markers. The primary objective of this road trial was to provide an opportunity for GDOT MAU personnel to see the modified hopper, telescoping slide, and placement mechanism in action and to assess the status of adhesive distribution for the 4" X 4" markers. Seventeen markers were placed in a single run. 
Road trial on GA 14 Spur on September 10, 2008 
On September 10, 2008, a second road trial was conducted on GA 14 Spur. This was the first road trial that utilized the 50-gallon melter-pump unit and the 25 kW diesel engine-generator set. 116 markers were placed in a single run over a distance of 10,118 feet in just under 39 minutes. 
Road trial on GA 331 on October 22, 2008 
The operator training session was conducted on the morning of October 22, 2008. That afternoon, a short road trial was conducted. Markers were placed along the dividing skip line of the westbound travel lanes of GA 331 in Forest Park, GA between US 23/GA 42 and I-75. 
During the October 22 trial, the system placed on the order of 162 markers over 2.2 miles of lane. The run took 1 hour 5 1/2 minutes. There were over 19 minutes of stops. If the stops could have been eliminated, it would have given a placement rate of over 200 markers per hour. Many of the stops were due to red lights and heavy traffic. 
There were on the order of 20 times that the system did not place on the second skip, that is, that the system placed on the third or later skip. At least some of the missed placements were caused by sunlight leaking into the field of view of the stripe tracker camera. At least two markers were placed in intersections. Two markers were placed without adhesive because the Emergency stop button on the front of the melter-pump unit was accidentally pressed. 
Road trial on I-85 and US 129/GA 11 on October 29, 2008 
On October 29, 2008, a road trial was conducted on I-85 northbound, north of GA 211 and later along US 129/GA 11. The primary objective of this road trial was to assess the adhesive distribution on the rough-surface, open-graded asphalt used on interstate highways. Markers 
12 
 
 were placed along a 4-mile stretch of I-85. Then, because of the long traffic backup that the moving lane closure was causing, the decision was made to continue the trial on US 129/GA 11. 
The system placed markers along the dividing skip line of the northbound travel lanes of I-85 north of GA 211. After placing markers along 3.7 miles of traffic lane, the decision was made to stop placements due to the heavy traffic and long traffic backup. The crew resumed marker placement operations on US 129/GA 11. The system placed markers along the dividing skip line of US129/GA11 southeast of I-85. The first six markers were placed on asphalt. There were some issues related to crack sealant on the skip lines. The crew then moved further down the road and made all remaining placements on concrete. 
The system placed 240 markers along a 3.7-mile stretch of I-85. The run took 1 hour and 8 minutes including a 19-minute and 23-second stop at about 38 minutes into the run to let a 2mile traffic backup clear and stops of approximately 40, 25, 39, and 20 seconds. It is not clear whether the system missed any skips on I-85. Three placement intervals were logged as 106, 97, and 92 feet; all other placement intervals that were logged were between 78 and 82 feet. After resuming operation, the traffic quickly backed up again. The crew stopped making placements, traveled north, and exited onto US 129/GA 11. 
The crew resumed marker placement operations on US 129/GA 11. The system placed 320 markers along 4.9 lane miles of US 129/GA 11. As the sun got low in the sky, sunlight leaking into the Stripe Tracker camera field of view began affecting the Stripe Tracker. The crew placed the last 50 markers traveling in the opposite direction. The marker placements along US 129/GA 11 were made at a rate of just over 170 markers/hour. 
The system placed on the order of 560 markers that day. There were five occasions when the marker did not arrive on the placement ramp; it came to rest supported by the bottom guide and the top of the inboard bumper. Those were the only errors reported by the system. 
On January 15, 2009, a MAU employee called to report the results of his inspection of the marker placements that the marker placement system made on I-85 northbound, north of GA 211 on October 29, 2008. He reported that only one marker placed by the system was missing from the 4 mile stretch. He said that some markers showed damage such as broken lenses from the heavy traffic including heavy truck traffic along this stretch, but had remained in place. He had been concerned about these markers because the adhesive distribution appearance is not as good as desired. (On the marker placements that day on smooth concrete, the adhesive distribution appearance was good with adhesive showing around the entire perimeter of the marker. On the rough-surface, open-graded asphalt, there were one or more gaps along the perimeter. We believe this is due to the amount of adhesive required to fill the voids in the rough surface.) Based on this inspection, the MAU employee believes that he can use the system on open-graded asphalt with the existing adhesive applicators as is. 
Road trial on GA 42 on December 3, 2008 
On December 3, 2008, a road trial was conducted on GA 42. The objective of this road trial was to assess the performance of the system placing markers along a centerline stripe using both placement mechanisms to place four prescribed marker patterns. This is the only road trial to date placing markers on the center line of a two-lane highway. 
13 
 
 The system made 185 placements; 40 were single marker placements and 145 were double marker placements for a total of 330 markers placed. The markers placed by pattern are listed in the following table. 
40 Single Skip 77 Double Solid 31 Skip Solid 22 Solid Skip 
3 Intersection 12 Gore 185 Total Placement 
The system exhibited a number of problems during the centerline trial. Problems remain with the software associated with pattern changes. Examples of symptoms include generating errors at a pattern change and not dispensing the markers after a pattern change. Marker placements were not as good or reliable as earlier tests with a single placement mechanism along a single skip line. Example problems include dragging one or both markers, turning markers, and dispensing adhesive beyond the marker or on the reflector. A better sense of the nature and scope of these problems can be had from reviewing the table of the video review results and reviewing the sample photographs included in Appendix F.

 Conclusions and Recommendations 
By the end of the road trials, the enhanced RPM placement system was reliably placing 4" X 4" sand-bottom raised pavement markers. After some development over the course of the road trials, the hoppers, placement mechanisms, telescoping slides, and adhesive applicators are performing well. The marker placements along US 129/GA 11 were made at a rate of just over 170 markers/hour. The first 190 marker placements along I-85 were made at a rate of just over 297 markers/hour. 
A development effort was conducted on the adhesive applicator dispensing nozzle to improve the distribution of adhesive under the marker. Variations on the nozzle design were identified that increased the amount of adhesive underneath the marker, reduced the splash, and improved the appearance of the placed marker. The placed markers on the smooth concrete surface of US 129/GA 11 have a very good adhesive distribution appearance with adhesive squeezed out around the entire perimeter of the marker. The placed markers on the rough-surface, opengraded asphalt surface of I-85 do not have as good an appearance. There are typically one or more gaps in the adhesive squeezed out around the perimeter of the marker. However, the retention of those placements has been good in the first six weeks of service under heavy traffic including heavy truck traffic. On January 15, 2009, a MAU employee called to report that only one marker placed by the system was missing from the 4-mile stretch. He said that some markers showed damage such as broken lenses from the heavy traffic, but had remained in place. 
A custom, 50-gallon melter-pump unit with pressure feedback control is in place to supply hotmelt adhesive to the adhesive dispensers. The new melter is reliably supplying 1000 psi to the applicators. Its melt tank capacity will permit operation with either one refill at midday or with periodic refilling. The pump flow rate gives an acceptable recharge time for single placements. Experience during the December 3, 2008 road trial suggests that the recharge time may be too slow for double placements. 
A 25 kW diesel engine-generator set fueled off the vehicle fuel tanks is in place to power the system components. This unit has worked reliably since installation. 
Known mechanical issues such as cooling of the applicator nozzle during idle periods and stowage of the placement mechanism for transport have been addressed during the redesign for 4" X 4" markers and with additional, specific modifications. The Stripe Tracker software has been modified to add features to make the system simpler to set up and operate and to add features requested by MAU. Additional software testing has been conducted, both stationary and in motion, to verify software function and to identify software errors. Additional changes have been made to address issues identified during the road trials and software tests. 
Components are now on hand to provide speedometer readout for the driver based on the system's wheel odometer encoder. Components are also on hand to provide low-speed cruise control for the vehicle. We recommend that MAU complete the installation of these components on the vehicle. Quantitative data is now available to investigate the impact of vehicle speed variation on marker placement acceptability and to assess the need for speed compensation for the adhesive dispensing timing. This analysis and assessment is also recommended. 
The system exhibited a number of problems during the centerline trial. Problems remain with the software associated with pattern changes. Marker placements were not as good or reliable as earlier tests with a single placement mechanism along a single skip line. One possible 
15 
 
 explanation for the placement issues is the design of the pattern change mechanism. Both placement mechanisms are supported on a single pattern change mechanism. If the road is sloped or crowned, one placement mechanism can raise the other placement mechanism off the ground, thereby affecting the height of the placement ramp and the force applied by the press rollers. Evidence for this conclusion available in the video is the high incidence of the system dragging one of two markers and a rear caster swiveling because it is off the pavement. This trial shows that additional improvement is required on both the software and the method of supporting the placement mechanisms in order to make the system practical for centerline placements.

 Automatic RPM Placement System User Manual Revision 1.1 
Automatic RPM Placement System Overview 
The Automatic RPM Placement System places one or two markers per placement along with hot-melt adhesive while in motion at 5 mph. The system tracks the lane stripe and locates the ends of skip lines. For solid lines, the system places markers at a programmed distance interval, for example, every 80 feet. For skip lines, the system places markers at a programmed distance from the end of the next skip after a programmed distance interval. (For example, if skip lines are painted every 40 feet and markers are to be placed every other skip, the distance interval would be set at 80 feet to place on the next skip after 75 feet of travel.) Markers can be placed in any one of five patterns that correspond to stripe patterns. The labeled photograph identifies the system components. 
 
The Automatic RPM Placement System includes two placement mechanisms each capable of dispensing an RPM onto the pavement together with up to 57 g of hot-melt adhesive applied at 380F while traveling at 5 mph. The placement mechanisms are supported on a pattern-change mechanism that can position the placement mechanisms to accommodate any of five specified RPM placement patterns. The patternchange mechanism is mounted on the left paint carriage lift, which lifts the entire assembly into a stowed position for travel. The left paint carriage has three feet of travel and is used to keep the placement mechanisms aligned with the lane stripe. A pair of remote hoppers supplies RPMs to each placement mechanism as required for the five RPM placement patterns. The pair of remote hoppers are connected to the placement mechanism by a telescoping RPM slide that delivers one RPM to the placement ramp for each placement. A commercial hot-melt adhesive system with a fifty-gallon melt tank supplies the hotmelt adhesive at 1000 psi to the adhesive-dispensing applicators mounted on the placement mechanisms. A commercial timer unit opens and closes the valve on the adhesive-dispensing applicator based on a programmed time delay from the beginning of the RPM placement stroke. A hand-held, pushbutton pendant includes buttons to jog the left paint carriage in and out, to initiate RPM placements, and to generate an emergency stop. Software running on a personal computer (PC) tracks the stripe, initiates marker placements, and provides a touch-screen display for system operation. The stripe tracker software analyzes images of the pavement to identify the stripes. The camera that captures the pavement images is housed in a shroud that is linked to and travels with the left paint carriage. The stripe tracker makes measurements of travel along the lane using a wheel odometer. A touch-screen monitor is provided in the truck cab as the operator interface. The operator interface allows the operator to start and stop the system, select the stripe pattern, trigger manual placements, and introduce a lateral offset in the RPM placements. The operator interface shows the processed image from the stripe tracker and the calculated speed from the system odometer. The delivered Automated RPM Placement System is mounted on a GDOT-owned paint striping truck that has had the majority of the painting equipment removed.

Automatic RPM Placement System Description 
The delivered Automated RPM Placement System is mounted on a GDOT-owned paint striping truck that has had the majority of the painting equipment removed. Components of the painting equipment that are utilized in the delivered system include the engine-driven air compressor and hydraulic pump; the left paint carriage, four-bar-linkage lift, hydraulic cylinder, and steering valve; and the guide boom. The delivered system includes one or two placement mechanisms capable of dispensing an RPM onto the pavement together with up to 57 g of hot-melt adhesive applied at 380F while traveling at 5 mph. 
Placement Mechanisms The placement mechanisms are supported on a pattern-change mechanism that can move the outboard placement mechanism to one of two positions and can move the inboard placement mechanism to one of three positions, thereby accommodating any of the five RPM placement patterns specified in the Phase 1 requirements document (see Appendix F, Final Report, Revision 1, Development Of An Automated Raised Pavement Marker Placement Machine (A-7348)). The pattern-change mechanism is supported by the four-bar-linkage lift on the left paint carriage, which lifts the entire assembly into a stowed position for travel. The hydraulically driven left paint carriage travels laterally three feet and is used to keep the placement mechanisms laterally aligned with the lane stripe. 
Remote Hoppers A pair of remote hoppers supplies RPMs to each placement mechanism as required for the five RPM placement patterns specified in the Phase 1 requirements document. The pair of remote hoppers are connected to the placement mechanism by a telescoping RPM slide that delivers one RPM to the placement ramp for each placement. 
Adhesive Dispensing A commercial hot-melt adhesive system that includes a fifty-gallon melt tank, a high pressure pump, six heater controls, and a pump control supplies the hot-melt adhesive to the individual, custom, adhesive-dispensing accumulator/applicators mounted on the placement mechanisms. A commercial timer unit opens and closes the valve on the adhesivedispensing accumulator/applicators based on a programmed time delay from the beginning of the RPM placement stroke. 
Servo Controller A commercial servo controller is used to control the lateral movement of the left paint carriage and to control the operation of 12 pneumatic valves that operate the placement mechanisms, the RPM dispensers and loaders, and the pattern-change mechanism. The servo controller controls a brushless DC gearmotor that turns the hydraulic steering valve, originally controlled by the operator on the paint striping truck, to control the lateral position of the left paint carriage. The servo controller software also provides the associated error handling for these operations. The servo controller software also provides functionality for a hand-held, pushbutton pendant that includes buttons to jog the left paint carriage in and out, to initiate RPM placements, and to generate an emergency stop. 
Stripe Tracker Software running on a personal computer (PC) provides a number of functions. The PC software includes the stripe tracker function. The stripe tracker analyzes images of the pavement to identify the stripes and to find the offset between the center of the image and the center of the stripe pattern. This offset is used to generate a move command that the PC issues to the servo controller to control the lateral position of the left paint carriage. The stripe tracker also has an algorithm for identifying existing RPMs in the pavement image. The stripe tracker makes measurements of travel along the lane based on a wheel odometer encoder. The distance

 Automatic RPM Placement System User Manual Revision 1.1 
measurements are used to trigger pavement image capture and to trigger RPM placements. The hardware that provides the images analyzed by the stripe tracker includes a shroud that is supported by a lateral carriage that is linked to and travels with the left paint carriage. The shroud houses a compact fluorescent lamp illumination system along with a camera housed in an NEMA 4 enclosure. The PC software includes communication functions to support communication between the PC and the servo controller. The PC software includes the operator interface function. 
Operator Interface A touch-screen monitor is provided in the truck cab as the operator interface. The operator interface allows the operator to start and stop the system, select the stripe pattern, trigger manual placements, and introduce a lateral offset in the RPM placements. The operator interface shows the processed image from the stripe tracker and the calculated speed from the system odometer. 
Supporting Systems Electrical power is provided to the system either from a 100-amp power cable from the building system or from a diesel-engine-driven generator. An automatic switch selects between the two input circuits. The power circuits include the necessary disconnect with lockout, protective fuses and circuit breakers, and contactors that control individual circuits. One 24 VDC and one 5 VDC power supply are provided to power the input and output devices that are connected to the servo controller and PC. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is provided to power the PC and the touch-screen monitor. An emergency-stop relay is provided to allow the operators to stop all motion of the system and remove energy to all system actuators by activating any one of three emergency-stop switches. (The four-bar-linkage lift is NOT protected by the emergency stop circuit.) 
System Enclosures Five enclosures are provided on the truck bed to house the various components. The main electronics enclosure houses the PC, UPS, servo controller, input and output interfaces, encoder interface, and AC and DC power circuits. The valve enclosure houses the pneumatic control valves along with the regulators, filters, main electric valve, and main manual valve with lockout. The timer enclosure houses the DC pattern controller that provides the programmable time delay for both adhesive dispensing accumulator/applicators. The motor enclosure provides protection for the servo motor. The hot-melt adhesive enclosure houses the hot-melt adhesive melter-pump system. A sixth enclosure, mounted in the cab, houses the touchscreen monitor and the system operating switches.

 Automatic RPM Placement System User Manual Revision 1.1 
Starting the User Interface Software 
The user interface software is designed to automatically start when the RPM system is powered up. The User Interface covered in this manual is the interface that will appear on the touch screen monitor located inside the cab of the truck. 
If the User Interface does not automatically start, it can be manually started by double clicking the executable (.EXE) file `ARPMP.exe' located on the system desktop. 
Operating the User Interface 
The User Interface is operated via a touch screen monitor. Touching the desired button on the screen with your fingertips can activate each button. When a button is activated, it will highlight to acknowledge a change. Some buttons, such as the pattern buttons, will remain highlighted with a red outline when selected.

Pattern Change Buttons 
To change a selected RPM placement pattern due to changes in the painted pattern on the road, the user must select the proper pattern from those available on the User Interface. Selecting one pattern will de-select all other patterns and set the RPM placement system mode to the current selected pattern. The selected pattern will be outlined with a red border as shown in Figure 3. 
Figure 3 
1. Solid-Solid: When selected, this will de-select all other patterns and set the RPM system into Solid-Solid Mode. 
2. Single-Solid: When selected, this will de-select all other patterns and set the RPM system into Single-Solid Mode. 
3. Solid-Skip: When selected, this will de-select all other patterns and set the RPM system into Solid-Skip Mode. 
4. Skip-Solid: When selected, this will de-select all other patterns and set the RPM system into Skip-Solid Mode. 
5. Single-Skip: When selected, this will de-select all other patterns and set the RPM system into Single-Skip Mode. 
6. Intersection: When selected, this will de-select all other patterns and set the RPM system into Intersection Mode. 
Changing patterns is important because the RPM system needs to know which pattern is currently being analyzed in order for it to make proper decisions on RPM placement location. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the system is not automatically identifying pattern changes, the correct pattern button needs to be pressed at the time that the boom on the front of the truck passes over a pattern change.

 Automatic RPM Placement System User Manual Revision 1.1 
Placement Offset Buttons 
Occasionally, RPM placement needs to be shifted laterally from the expected placement location due to issues such as the pavement seam location or other problems with the road surface. The system allows a user to specify how much to shift a placement location (in inches) from the automatically located position. 
 To shift the placement location to the left, press the left arrow button (Figure 8) on the User Interface. 
Figure 4 
 To shift the placement location to the right, press the right arrow button (Figure 9) on the User Interface. 
Figure 5 
Each time the button is depressed, the placement location will be offset by one inch in the corresponding direction. The resulting offset will be displayed under the offset buttons (see User Interface Legend Item #12). Negative numbers mean the offset is to the left; positive numbers mean the offset is to the right.

Manual Place Button 
 
Figure 6 
 
Sometimes it is required to place RPMs manually during operation of the system. In order to perform an immediate placement of an RPM, simply press the Manual Place button located above the start/stop button. 
Once depressed, the system will automatically prepare and place one RPM. Once an RPM is manually placed, the RPM placement system will reset all values and begin looking for the next automatic placement location. 
 
Figure 7 
IMPORTANT NOTE: All marker placements are based on distance traveled. For Solid-Solid and Single-Solid patterns, the system places markers at a programmed distance interval. For Skip patterns, the system places markers at the next skip after a programmed distance interval. A manual placement sets the distance measurement to zero. After a manual placement, the system begins a new marker placement distance interval.

Changing System Settings 
Accessing the Dialog 
By touching the button along the bottom of the user interface labeled "Settings" as seen in Figure 12, a dialog for changing RPM placement criteria can be accessed. This dialog allows the user to change the distance between placements (typically 80ft), the distance from a skip that the RPM should be placed (typically 2 ft), the image background removal routine (auto recommended), and whether to place before or after a skip (after-skip recommended). This allows the user to configure all aspects of the automatic placement to accommodate special placement requirements.

Summary of changes prior to trial: 
Description of trial: On July 16, 2008, a short road trial was conducted on GA 14 Spur. This was the first road trial where the system placed 4" X 4" markers. The primary objective of this road trial was to provide an opportunity for GDOT MAU personnel to see the modified hopper, telescoping slide, and placement mechanism in action and to assess the status of adhesive distribution for the 4" X 4" markers. 
Description of data collected: Logfile from Stripe Tracker System (See logfile table). 30-frame-per-second digital video recorded by video camera mounted above placement mechanism and looking down on placement mechanism. 
Description of data analysis: Logfile records were formatted into a table. The 30-frame-per-second digital video was reviewed. Data was plotted. 
Observations: 1. Twelve placements were made after the second skip; 5 placements were made after 3 or more skips. The missed skips were caused by the Stripe Tracker misclassifying skips as non skips because of large cracks within the white stripes. (See example photographs.) 2. The markers were placed straight. 3. Consistently, some of the adhesive was deflected to each side of the marker. (See example photographs.) 
Results: Seventeen placements were made in a single run over a distance of approximately 2074 feet.

Summary of changes prior to trial: The 50-gallon melter-pump unit and the 25 kW diesel engine-generator set were installed. 
Description of trial: On September 10, 2008, a second road trial was conducted on GA 14 Spur. This was the first road trial that utilized the 50-gallon melter-pump unit and the 25 kW diesel enginegenerator set. 119 markers were placed in a single run over a distance of 10,118 feet in just under 39 minutes. 
Description of data collected: Logfile from Stripe Tracker System (See logfile table). 30-frame-per-second digital video recorded by video camera mounted above the placement mechanism and looking down on placement mechanism. 
Description of data analysis: Logfile records were formatted into a table. The 30-frame-per-second digital video was reviewed. Data was plotted. 
Observations: 1. Extra paint (painted numbers) alongside strip skews pattern center. 2. Missed 3 placements after second skip; new paint did not extend to end of skip, old paint at end of skip was not classified as skip. 3. No restarts of software during run; recovered gracefully after errors. 4. One marker jammed in slide; Steve knows the cause. 5. There were 3 jams caused by a double dispense. The dispensers are not synchronized; apart on those dispensers is out of specification. 6. Some of the markers were rotated slightly. (See example photographs.) 7. Move commands are issued during live-mode image capture when camera configuration window is open. 8. Hopper loading is difficult for operator; a possible solution is to block one side of the stack. 9. 6 seconds is required for pressure recovery (accumulator recharge). 10. It is difficult for the driver to maintain a consistent vehicle speed. 11. There is adhesive buildup on the placement mechanism. 12. Adhesive dispense volume.

 Results: There was an 8 minute delay from pressing the start button until marker placement began. Then, 116 markers were placed in a single run over a distance of 10,118 feet in just under 39 minutes. After a 6 minute delay, another 9 markers were placed. 
Planned changes prior to next road trial: 1. Replace E-stop relay. 2. Test communication recovery after E-stop pressed. 3. What does software do after pusher-extend error? No marker present, adhesive on road. Does system distance reset? 4. Add door stop to upper melter door. 5. 5 mph speed target not in user manual or in Wednesday training. Correct. 6. Add PC for high-speed image capture to enclosure. (XP OS, Firewire 1394b, USB I/O, serial I/O) 7. Remove KVM switch. 8. Make logfile changes. 9. Change nozzle pattern, wider or narrower. 10. Freeze software. 11. Ghost hard drive. 12. Test dual output encoder. 13. Move speedometer output to Dragonfly field of view. 14. Install cruise king. 15. Order serial/power cable, remote antennae mount, receiver mount, and BNC cable for GPS receiver. 16. Install GPS receiver. 17. Add GPS call to high-speed image capture.

Summary of changes prior to trial: 1. Conducted development effort on nozzle plate to improve adhesive distribution and reduce adhesive splash. Replaced nozzle plate with Revison 7 design variation. 
Description of trial: Placed markers along the dividing skip line of the westbound travel lanes of GA 331 in Forest Park, GA between US 23/GA 42 and I-75. The GPS receiver locations of the placed markers can be viewed on Google Earth by opening the following files. g:\GDOT\A7348 RPM placement\road trials\GA 331 22Oct2008\ GA331 081022 GPS google earth.kmz g:\GDOT\A7348 RPM placement\road trials\GA 331 22Oct2008\ GA331 081022 GPS google earth ptII.kmz 
Description of data collected: Logfile from Stripe Tracker System (See logfile table). 30-frame-per-second digital video from video camera mounted on placement mechanism and looking down on placement mechanism. One second of 120-frame-per-second digital video from video camera looking along placement ramp for each marker placement. GPS receiver trackpoints from GPS receiver located on RPM placement truck. 
Description of data analysis: Logfile records were formatted into a table. GPS trackpoints were downloaded. Video was reviewed and scored. The 120-frame-per-second digital video was reviewed. Correspondence was established between logfile records, stills, video frames, and several GPS trackpoints. Data was plotted. 
Observations: 1. Problems resulted from sunlight leaking through the skirt on the shroud. Sunlight has not been a noticeable problem in past trials due to the angle of the sun at the time of the trial. During the October 22 trial, the angle of the sun was optimum for defeating the existing skirt. (We have known from the earliest images that we captured of stripes on pavement that sunlight must be eliminated from the stripe-tracker-camera field of view. Sunlight on pavement can be as bright as the white stripe illuminated by fluorescent lamps.) 2. The skirt was also defeated by wind generated by passing traffic blowing the skirt out of position. 3. During the October 22 trial, the system placed on the order of 162 markers. The run took 1 hour 5 1/2 minutes. There were over 19 minutes of stops. If the stops could have been eliminated, it would have given a placement rate of over 200 markers per hour. 4. There were on the order of 20 times that the system did not place on the second skip, that is, that the system placed on the third or later skip. 
D-2 
 
 5. At least two markers were placed in intersections. 6. Two markers were placed without adhesive because the Emergency stop button on the front of 
the melter-pump unit was accidentally pressed. 7. We had stops of (minutes:seconds) 
3:31, 1:52 - red light, 1:31, 5:38 - carriage jogged out due to sunlight leak, add tape to skirt to block sunlight, 0:29, 2:39 - add more tape to skirt to block sunlight, 1:33 - radio conversation on using intersection pattern 0:29 1:40. There were 8 other stops of less than 0:29. Some were due to traffic and red lights. I do not know the reasons for all of the stops. 
Results: During the October 22 trial, the system placed on the order of 162 markers. The run took 1 hour 5 1/2 minutes. There were over 19 minutes of stops. If the stops could have been eliminated, it would have given a placement rate of over 200 markers per hour. 
Planned changes prior to next road trial: Notes from Debriefing Meeting on 22October2008 and later discussions with expanded explanations and Action Item List 
When carriage drove out to the end of travel, what would have happened if a car was sitting there? The carriage would have collided with the car. We could probably get by with a shorter travel stoke. We have travel limit switches in place. That incident probably indicated that the limit switches are not functioning properly. What was causing the erratic behavior of the Stripe Tracker system? Sunlight was getting through the skirts on the shroud and illuminating a portion of the stripe-tracker-camera field of view. Sunlight was leaking in at the corners of the skirt; sunlight was leaking in through the hinge; sunlight was leaking in when passing traffic would blow the skirt up. Sunlight on pavement can be as bright as the white stripe illuminated by fluorescent lamps. We have known from the earliest images that we captured of stripes on pavement that sunlight must be eliminated from the stripe-tracker-camera field of view. We have suspected that the existing shroud would not be adequate in all circumstances. Sunlight has not been a noticeable problem in past trials due to the angle of the sun. Yesterday, the angle of the sun was optimum for defeating the existing skirt. The problem caused by passing traffic has not been observed before. What was causing the system to place markers in intersections, not in the vicinity of any stripe or marking? We don't know. On some or all of the intersections where placements were made, Colin selected the intersection pattern upon entering the intersection; the Stripe Tracker reported an error  no pattern selected; Colin cleared the error; Colin selected single-skip pattern upon leaving the intersection; the system placed a marker. Colin suspects that the system was placing a marker as soon as he selected the single skip pattern. Is the system measuring distance or counting skips? For the single-skip pattern, the system makes a distance measurement based on two changeable parameters then finds a skip. Yesterday, the parameters were set at 80 feet and 5 feet; this causes the system to measure 75 feet from the last placement, then find the next trailing end of a skip and place after the end of the skip. 
D-3 
 
 Why did the system miss a number of skips? Colin believes that most or all of the missed skips were caused by the Stripe tracker interpreting the image to be an invalid skip because the sunlight made the skip too wide. On an earlier trial, the system missed skips because the Stripe tracker interpreted images to be an invalid skip because cracks in the pavement under the skip made the skips too narrow. Colin has since made the skip width a changeable parameter. On October 22, we began with the width parameter set at 30 pixels. At the first or second stop, Colin changed that parameter to 15 pixels. He reported that no skips were misclassified due to cracks in the skip. The amount of adhesive was acceptable for the surface that we were doing today. I suspect that we will need more for D mix or open-graded-asphalt. Let's do the next trial on open-graded-asphalt. The most likely site will be I-85 north of Suwanee. What was the adhesive temperature? 380F This give a pretty thick pad of adhesive under the marker. 400F seems to bond to the asphalt better and might give a thinner pad. A thinner pad might reduce the stress on the adhesive caused by traffic strikes. [Thick and thin might refer to viscosity rather than length dimension.] What caused the marker to fall off in the intersection? The driver made a sudden change of direction while the marker was on the loader arm. The marker is not fully captured during this motion. The missing marker generated an error message. When Colin cleared the message, the system loaded another marker. 
If the marker is on the slide while the carriage servos out, it slows the velocity of the marker on the slide. If the marker exits the slide at too low a velocity, it can catch on the ledge on top of the inboard bumpers. This happened more than once; the motion of the placement mechanism over the road bounces the marker off the ledge and into proper position on the ramp. This does however generate an error message. On one occasion, Colin cleared the error message before the marker had bounced into place. A second marker was loaded onto the slide resulting in two markers on the ramp. This had to be cleared manually. Why did placement mechanism strike in-place marker? Could we raise the placement mechanism? Yes. We are not sure of all ramifications of raising the placement mechanism. It might call for adjustment of press roller location, applicator angle, and applicator timing. The lift cylinder is plumbed to apply an adjustable up force to the four-bar mechanism to reduce the load carried by the casters and reduce the effect of collisions. 
How much power is required to run the heated hose? We are interested in retrofitting our trailers with electrically heated hoses. 
Action Items: 1. Deliver heated hose literature to Grady. On October 23, Steve sent Grady information on electrically heated hoses available from McMaster Carr. On October 23, Wiley delivered to Grady the datasheet and purchase information on the Spraymation heated hoses that are installed on the marker placement system. 2. Test travel limit switches. Correct Stripe Tracker software if limit switches are not functioning. Does drive disable when carriage is at end of cylinder stroke? 3. Modify skirt on shroud to eliminate possibility of sunlight leaks. 4. Review Stripe Tracker software related to intersection pattern. Determine cause of placements made in intersection. Review requirements document to determine desired action at intersection. Correct Stripe Tracker software. Colin was operating the system from the touch-screen user interface. Beginning after the 117th logged placement, Colin began selecting the intersection pattern as the system entered and intersection, followed by selecting the single-skip pattern as the system exited the intersection. The system responded by placing markers in the intersection that were no where near a stripe or 
D-4 
 
 skip line. Each time Colin selected the intersection pattern, the Stripe Tracker opened an error window, Error Number 14, No Pattern Set. Colin cleared the error. (The first time, Colin selected the intersection pattern five times.) After clearing the error and leaving the intersection, Colin selected the single-skip pattern. The system would then place a marker in the intersection; on one wide intersection, the system placed two markers in the intersection. Upon detecting that the intersection-pattern button is pressed, the Stripe Tracker sends the new pattern to the Servo Controller. The Servo Controller code does not have an intersection pattern and returns the error No Pattern Set. The Stripe Tracker takes no action until the error is cleared. The Stripe Tracker changes the target placement location, determined by the odometer measurement, to be the location of the guide wheel when the intersection-pattern button was pressed. At that location, the Stripe Tracker makes a "manual" placement, that is, the system places immediately, not relative to a stripe. As coded, the Stripe Tracker should have made two manual placements at each intersection, one each time a new pattern was selected. The error returned by the Servo Controller may have served to eliminate one of the two placements and may have delayed the placement. To remedy this issue, several changes must be made to the software. The intersection pattern must be added to the Servo Controller code. The Stripe Tracker code must be changed such that when a pattern change is detected, the software will not place until it detects a valid placement pattern instead of performing a manual placement. In addition, the software must determine whether the old or new pattern will be placed at the pattern change location. If markers have already been loaded into the placement mechanisms, the system must place the old pattern at the pattern change location and wait until after that placement to send the pattern change command to the Servo Controller. The requirements document says that the system shall "Place RPMs at a stripe pattern change according to the diagrams below" (See Page 6). The system does have a constraint on which pattern to mark at a pattern change. If marker(s) have already been sent to the placement mechanism(s), the system must mark the pattern change with the old pattern. If marker(s) have not yet been sent to the placement mechanism(s), the system may mark the pattern change with either the old or new pattern. 5. Eliminate ledge on top of inboard bumper. 6. Review the time out duration on the prep command and consider operational procedure on clearing error messages. 7. Discuss road trial procedures. For example, consider the following suggestions. Use radios. Establish radio protocol. Keep entire team informed of issues and decisions. Log changes such as change in delay setting. Log radio calls. Move camcorder microphone to truckbed next to radio to record radio traffic and conversations on truckbed. 8. Set timer to know when to replace camcorder tape. Perhaps change camcorder record speed.

Summary of changes prior to trial: 1. Modified skirt on shroud to eliminate possibility of sunlight leaks. 2. Reviewed Stripe Tracker software related to intersection pattern. Determined cause of placements made in intersection. Reviewed requirements document to determine desired action at intersection. Changed Stripe Tracker software. 3. Eliminated ledge on top of inboard bumper. 4. Reviewed the time out duration on the prep command and consider operational procedure on clearing error messages. 5. Discuss road trial procedures including radio protocol and manual logging of events and managing video camera. 
Description of trial: The primary objective of this trial was to observe the adhesive distribution achieved by the system on markers placed on the rough-surface, open-graded asphalt used on interstate highways. Placed markers along the dividing skip line of the northbound travel lanes of I-85 north of GA 211. After placing markers along 3.7 miles of traffic lane, the decision was made to stop placements due to the heavy traffic and long traffic back up. We resumed marker placement operations on US 129/GA 11. Placed markers along the dividing skip line of US129/GA11 southeast of I-85. The first six markers were placed on asphalt. There were some issues related to crack sealant on the skip lines. We then moved further down the road and made all remaining placements on concrete. 
Colin was in the passenger seat of the cab. Colin was monitoring the processed image as well as the communication traffic between the Stripe Tracker and the Gemini servo controller. He was also logging various incidents including those reported over the radio. He was also relaying the vehicle speed to the driver. 
Description of data collected: Logfile from Stripe Tracker System (See logfile table). 30-frame-per-second digital video from video camera mounted on placement mechanism and looking down on placement mechanism. One second of 120-frame-per-second digital video from video camera looking along placement ramp for each marker placement. GPS receiver trackpoints from GPS receiver located on RPM placement truck. 
Description of data analysis: Logfile records were formatted into a table. GPS trackpoints were downloaded. The 30-frameper-second digital video and 120-frame-per-second digital video has not yet been reviewed. Data was plotted.

 Observations: 1. On one occasion, after missing a skip due to a placement error, we attempted to recover by backing up and passing the target placement location a second time. The system did not place on the desired location. GDOT personnel would like to recover from a missed-marker error. 2. There were five No RPM Present errors. On some occasions, the marker did not arrive on the placement ramp; it came to rest supported by the bottom guide and the top of the inboard bumper. This occurred on the previous road trial and also during testing at Georgia Tech. On some occasions, the vibration of the placement mechanism traveling over the road will clear this error. 3. Upon pressing the GO button, the first placement does not occur for 80 feet. Upon pressing the GO button, GDOT personnel would like the system to place on the first skip or as soon as possible for a solid-solid pattern. 4. GDOT personnel asked the reasons for the jerky movements of the placement carriage, for the carriage moving from centered to offset from the stripe just before making a placement, and for many markers being placed one or two inches offset from centered. The linkage between the driven, placement carriage and the following camera carriage where the lateral position measurement is made is very flexible. 5. On at least two occasions, the Gemini servo controller disabled the drive axis. (Two occasions were caused by driving diagonally across a single solid, first forward, then reverse. The crew moved all the trucks out of the I-85 traffic lane into the median to let the traffic backup clear. We wanted to resume placements where we left off when we returned to the traffic lane.) 6. Wiley accidentally pressed the Manual Placement button while the Stripe Tracker was on and while people were on the ground behind the truck. 
Results: The system placed 240 markers along a 3.7 mile stretch I-85. The run took 1 hour and 8 minutes including a 19 minute 23 second stop at about 38 minutes into the run to let a 2-mile traffic backup clear and stops of approximately 40, 25, 39, and 20 seconds. It is not clear that the system missed any skips on I-85. Three placement intervals were logged as 106, 97, and 92 feet; all other placement intervals that were logged were between 78 and 82 feet. After resuming operation, the traffic quickly backed up again. We stopped making placements, traveled north, and exited onto US 129/GA 11. 
We resumed marker placement operations on US 129/GA 11. Placed markers along the dividing skip line of US129/GA11 southeast of I-85. The first six markers were placed on asphalt. There were some issues related to crack sealant on the skip lines. We then moved further down the road and made all remaining placements on concrete. The system placed 320 markers along 4.9 lane miles of US129/GA11. As the sun got low in the sky, sunlight leaking into the Stripe Tracker camera field of view began affecting the Stripe Tracker. We placed the last 50 markers traveling in the opposite direction. 
The system placed on the order of 560 markers. There were 5 occasions when the marker did not arrive on the placement ramp; it came to rest supported by the bottom guide and the top of the inboard bumper. Those were the only errors reported by the system. 
On January 15, 2009, a GDOT MAU employee called to report the results of his inspection of the marker placements that we did with the marker placement system on I-85 northbound, north of GA 211 on October 29, 2008. He reported that only one marker was missing from the 4 mile stretch placed by the system. He said that some markers showed damage such as broken lenses from the heavy traffic including heavy truck traffic along this stretch, but had remained in place. He had been concerned about these markers because the adhesive distribution appearance is not as good as desired. (On the marker placements that day on smooth concrete, the adhesive distribution appearance was good with adhesive showing around the entire perimeter of the marker. On the rough-surface, open-graded asphalt, there were one or more gaps along the 
E-3 
 
 perimeter. We believe this is due to the amount of adhesive required to fill the voids in the rough surface.) Based on this inspection, the GDOT MAU employee believes that he can use the system on open-graded asphalt with the existing adhesive applicators as is. Planned changes prior to next road trial: 1. Change software to accommodate recovering from a missed-marker error. 2. Modify inboard bumper to eliminate the ledge that can catch the marker and prevent it from falling on the placement ramp. 3. Change software for first placement after pressing the GO button. Have the system place on the first skip or as soon as possible for a solid-solid pattern. 4. Stiffen the linkage between the driven, placement carriage and the following camera carriage. Measure the positioning repeatability of camera carriage over a stripe. Improve the control of the carriage lateral position. 5. Change Gemini software such that Gemini returns an error if it receives a MOVE command and the drive is disabled. Once the lamp switch is operable, the lamps could be turned off to prevent the carriage from tracking and placing if it is necessary to drive off the stripe while the Stripe Tracker is running. Implement change of procedure to turn off lamps when driving off the stripe with the Stripe Tracker ON. 6. Install and test the new E-stop relay. Implement change of procedure to press E-stop button whenever people are on the ground at the rear of the truck. 7. Measure distance from guide wheel to stripe-tracker-camera field of view. Plug holes in boom extension to fix boom length. 8. Why is 120-fps-image capture crashing? Add replace out-of-specification cable with two inspecification cables and Firewire repeater.

m_logFileBase  Name of the log file for the system to use. 
m_logFileDir  Location of Log File. m_logFileMaxSize  Maximum allowable log file size. m_logLevel  Specifies how much information to log, such as run-time, or debug level logging. SnapCount  Number of encoder counts necessary before capturing an image of the road surface. Default is 1200 counts. PlacementOffset  Distance in encoder counts from the camera leading edge FOV to the exit of the RPM placement device. BGThreshold  The manual offset from the peak red histogram value used in background removal routine ActuatorTimeDelay - The time for the PC software to "Sleep" and wait for actuation of the RPM placement hardware. CountsPerPixel  Number of encoder counts per pixel used to make conversion from pixel values to encoder coordinates. EdgeOffset - Offset in encoder counts of the desired distance from a stripe edge to place an RPM. PlacementCount  Distance in encoder counts of desired placement distance from one RPM to the next (typically 80 ft) ServoCoordsOut  Number of encoder counts to move servo device 1 foot to the outside. ServoCoordsIn - Number of encoder counts to move servo device 1 foot to the inside. PixelsPerInch  The number of pixels per inch. Boom_Distance  Distance from the front of the truck boom to the location of the placement device. m_feetPerEncoderCount  The number of feet per encoder count. m_camera_red  The camera's red value for color processing. m_camera_green  The camera's green value for color processing. m_camera_blue  The camera's blue value for color processing. m_camera_gain  The camera's gain value in decibels. m_camera_integrationTime  The camera's integration time in milliseconds. m_farLimitSwitchChannel  The opto22 far limit switch channel. m_nearLimitSwitchChannel  The opto22 near limit switch channel.

Summary of changes prior to trial: 1. Completed modification, assembly, and installation of second placement mechanism, second telescoping slide, and second hopper and loader. 
Description of trial: Placed markers along the centerline of GA 42 near Jackson, Georgia. The route can be viewed at the following url. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=33.315039,+83.984349&daddr=33.324986,+-84.014191&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=33.296817,83.978634&sspn=0.083649,0.181274&ie=UTF8&z=15 
Description of data collected: 
Logfile from Stripe Tracker System (See logfile table). 30-frame-per-second digital video from video camera mounted on placement mechanism and looking down on placement mechanism. One second of 120-frame-per-second digital video from video camera looking along placement ramp for each marker placement. GPS receiver trackpoints from GPS receiver located on RPM placement truck. 
Description of data analysis: 
Logfile records were formatted into a table. Around 72 records are missing from the logfile. No explanation is available. The missing data cannot be recovered. 117 GPS trackpoints were downloaded. The 30-frame-per-second digital video was reviewed. A table of this video review is included. A number of 120-frame-per-second digital videos were reviewed. In most cases, the marker placements could not be seen in the camera field of view. In a few cases, a small portion of the marker placements could be seen in the camera field of view, but the lighting was poor. Data was plotted. 
F-2 
 
 Observations: 1. Problems remain with the software associated with pattern changes. Examples of symptoms include generating errors at a pattern change and not dispensing the markers after a pattern change. 2. Marker placements were not as good or reliable as earlier tests with a single placement mechanism along a single skip line. Example problems include dragging one or both markers, turning markers, and dispensing adhesive beyond the marker or on the reflector. A better sense of the nature and scope of these problems can be had from reviewing the table of the video review results and reviewing the sample photographs. 
Results: Made 185 placements, 40 were single marker placements, 145 were double marker placements for a total of 330 markers placed. The markers placed by pattern are listed in the following table.

 Appendix G Nozzle design variations to affect adhesive distribution 
Problem 
The front corners of the 4x4 markers did not have adhesive under them. There was extra adhesive outside the marker though. 
Objective 
Obtain better distribution of the hot melt adhesive under the marker. 
Scope 
- Modify the shape, size, and location of the nozzle plate holes - Modify the angle of the adhesive applicator 
Nozzle Configurations 
The nozzle configurations are Rev1 through Rev6 in the SolidWorks part file: G:\GDOT\A7348 RPM placement\drawings\Spraymation\50 g concept\nozzles\010-050070-101102.SLDPRT. Please see this drawing for dimensions. 
Rev 1 had six, 0.234" diameter holes. The distance between the outboard holes and the middle holes was greater than the distance between the middle holes and the inner holes. The extra distance to the outboard holes was helpful when placing the plastic C80 markers. That marker measures approximately 4.5" wide compared to the 4" wide, 4x4 markers. The extra distance gave better adhesive coverage on those markers. 
With the Rev1 nozzle, the adhesive puddle was too wide and not long enough. The front corners of the marker had no adhesive under them. The front edge had adhesive under it but not at the corners. Extra adhesive was outside the marker for about two thirds of the length. 
Rev2 had four, 0.234" diameter holes. It is identical to Rev1 without the outboard holes. Since the adhesive from Rev1 was too wide and too short, the goal was to decrease the width and increase the length. Reducing the nozzle area by one third seemed like it would slow the adhesive velocity thereby reducing width and increasing the length of the adhesive puddle. Rev2 did not show any significant change from Rev1. The assumption is that the choke point for the adhesive flow was not the nozzle plate. 
Rev3 and Rev4 replaced the holes with slots. Rev3 had two slots with the same area as the six holes in Rev1. Rev4 had two slots with the same area as Rev2. Both of these nozzles made the adhesive distribution worse. The slots allowed the adhesive to fan out 
G-1 
 
 of the nozzle making the adhesive puddle wider. It also caused increased splash of adhesive onto the placement mechanism. 
Rev5 had four, 0.234" diameter holes similar to Rev2. The outer two holes were angled towards the center at 10 degrees. The axes of all four holes were in the same plane. This did not help the distribution problem but it did help with the splashing problem. 
Rev6 had four, 0.166" diameter holes. All four holes were angled towards the center at 10 degrees. The smaller diameter holes did reduce the width somewhat and lengthen the puddle. However the shape of the puddle's perimeter did not change significantly. The puddle was still too wide and the front corners did not have adhesive under them. 
Rev7 had four, 0.234" diameter holes. The two outside diameter holes were towards the center at 9 degrees and angled down at 7 degrees. The axes of the two outside holes were not in the same plane as the two inside holes. The adhesive from the two outside holes would strike the pavement further forward of the adhesive from the two inside holes. This provided the best results of all the nozzles. The width was reduced and the front corners had a very small area without adhesive under them. There was no splash either. Revison 7 is shown at the right. 
Applicator Angle 
The angle of the applicator has nominally been 25 to 26 degrees in relation to the roadway for the previous road trials. Reducing the angle to 24 degrees gave inconsistent results. Testing was only done using one of the nozzles. In some cases the adhesive would splash leaving very little adhesive under the marker. Increasing the angle to 27 degrees produced consistent results. It didn't change the adhesive puddle shape though.

 Appendix H List of Software Modifications 
1. Track skip length on post skip placements, need two valid skips in succession to validate a placement 
2. Moved algorithm configuration variables to the configuration file 3. Added image saving capability 4. Added ability to snap images when not moving as long as camera calibration dialog is 
open 5. Modified logfile output to make it easier to parse the logfile into a spreadsheet for 
analysis. 6. Verified after manual placement occurs, system does not reset encoder distances, keeps 
on pattern 7. Modified System Start-up Procedure to: 
a. Upon First start of the system (Start button pressed), the system will immediately prep and look for a placement after moving 10 feet. The distance is configurable via the configuration file (PlacementModifier). 
b. The system needs to be started while it is not moving and allow time for the first prep to occur. Then start moving. 
8. Placement Operation Modifications a. Moved the send command for the Servo Onsignal (6), to be sent as soon as we determine a valid placement instead of after waiting for the vehicle to arrive at the placement location. b. Added two flags to ServoThread, that controls the communication with the Servo. i. StopArrived gets set to true when the ServoThread adds a STOP (OnSignal) command to the servo. ii. StopCmdSent flag gets set after the ServoThread successfully sends a STOP command to the servo. iii. The main image processing thread checks both flags before setting the opto output, it will only set the output when both StopArrived and StopCmdSent are TRUE. iv. After setting the output successfully for a placement, the main processing thread will then reset both the StopArrived and StopCmdSent flag. 
9. Fixed a bug on the pattern change operation a. When performing a placement for a pattern change, the PlacementDistance variable was not being properly reset, this caused the system to attempt two placements in a row during testing, this would probably not happen in the field, but it can cause undesirable behavior, so it was fixed. b. System still performs manual placement at location of pattern change (where the boom was when the button was hit). Now, after placing first marker on the pattern change, it will place the next marker after the 80' interval. 
H-1 
 
 c. Made the pattern change operation automatically PREP when a patter change occurs. 
10. Modified RPM locator software to allow for backing up or driving forward after a failed placement a. When an error occurs, the driver should stop. b. After stopping, the user clears the error. c. When the error is cleared the system records the encoder count for the current position. d. The driver can either back-up to a spot before the missed placement, then place an RPM in the proper spot, or drive forward and place the RPM at the next valid spot. e. After an error, the system will immediately issue a PREP command. f. If a driver does not stop on a solid pattern, when the error is cleared, the system will attempt to PREP and place immediately. If there is no marker already prepped, the system will generate an error because the marker did not have time to make it to the placement ramp.
