Description
According to National Transportation Research, 43% of the public roadways throughout the U.S. are in poor or mediocre condition. With over 4 million miles of public roadways in the United States moving nearly $17 trillion of goods across the nation, it is critical that improvements are made to the resurfacing methods currently employed to maintain our transportation infrastructure. To achieve a technical solution to this issue, AAPlasma is developing a plasma-based system that can rapidly and effectively resurface and deposit new road marking in a single pass, thereby reducing the time and resources needed to maintain our nation’s road network infrastructure. In Phase I and II of this SBIR project, AAPlasma will focus on restoring road marking materials, however, future research projects will expand successful results to include asphalt concrete and Portland cement.
