nice concept but at what point would the rollers come in to compact the asphault?
-
the end shows the machine grabs full "containers" as it proceeds and leaves behind the empty ones (if i understood correctly) but this wouldn't be possible in czech republic, if you left the containers in place they would've been stolen the other day...

Throughout the whole video all I kept saying was "MY ASS!" This is some serious bullshit. Serious. Bullshit.

I'm 18 and I hope to see these things with in the next 10 to 20 years mainly to see how this will decrees traffic congestion on highways due to the modern asphalt pavers.

point of driver's is?..

that machine looks too complicated for the dumb operators in Local 150 here in Northern IL- plus-there's nowhere for them to put their feet up and drink coffee

@jsorgi44215 That is part of the reason there are less jobs. Only those who master technology will have a future.

hmmmm, i dont like it, road painters, dump truck drivers, and laborers, gone, oh and roller operators too

I mean, you cant simply reuse them?
Looks like a wonderful machine, but I have a few questions. Would the asphalt that comes out of the machine be cold straight away? If not wouldn't this be a problem with the pods? And how do you get the pods on and off the trucks? If by crane then you wouldn't have them placed exactly onto the correct position, you could prevent this by making the ramp wider at the start then it wouldn't be such a problem. Also if you had the asphalt itself painted it wouldn't be as slippery as road paint is now

This paving concept is based, in great part, on equipment and material technologies that have yet to be developed. We believe that the empty pod weight should be light enough so that the load it imposes on the pavement surface will be similar to the load from the human foot walking across the pavement. Regarding positioning of the full pods:Our industry already uses GPS for a multitude of applications. We plan for the paving system to include precise placement of the pod using this technique.
