Mobile road surface treatment system

Abstract

This is a mobile road surface treatment system, comprising a control module, a scanning module configured to detect a road cavity, and a material extrusion device mounted on a gantry on a vehicle configured to travel at a moving speed and moving direction. The system may be configured such that the control module instructs the material extrusion device to move on the gantry to hover above the road cavity and deposit repair material into the road cavity, corresponding to the moving speed and moving direction.
