ARRES Prevent (road repair robot)

2024: Product Announcement

At the end of January 2024, the technology company Robotiz3d, founded by British specialists from the University of Liverpool, introduced the ARRES Prevent robotic system for monitoring and repairing the road surface. It is claimed that this complex can reduce road maintenance costs by 90%.

The ARROWS Prevent robot, or Autonomous Road Repair System, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and analyze road cracks and potholes. Onboard equipment is able to collect information about the state of the roadway when driving at speeds up to 96 km/h. In this case, one strip is scanned in one pass. As a result, a detailed defect map is formed, including data on their type, depth and location. This allows you to increase the efficiency of repair work, optimize the schedule of road maintenance and, ultimately, significantly reduce the cost of funds.

The ARRES Prevent system is capable of fully autonomous operation or remote operator control. The platform, which looks like a mid-size van, can operate around the clock - regardless of lighting conditions. An electric power plant powered by batteries is used.

A special composition is used to seal cracks: this prevents water from entering and further destruction of the roadway. Robotiz3d says that thanks to the use of the robot, the speed of repair work increases by about 70%. In addition, the machine makes it possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by three times compared to traditional methods through efficient processes and the use of electrical technologies. Actual repair work on the streets Robot ARRES Prevent will begin to perform in 2024.^[1]
