Abstract: Integrated Autonomous Road Cleaning and Maintenance System with Real-Time Hazard Detection This invention describes an autonomous multi-functional system for road maintenance, integrating cleaning, hazard detection, and pothole repair into a single apparatus. Utilizing advanced sensors such as LiDAR, high-resolution imaging cameras, and depth sensors, the system performs real-time surface anomaly detection and generates detailed road condition data. A dual-action cleaning mechanism combines vacuum suction for lightweight debris removal and magnetic technology for extracting metallic hazards. The onboard repair module, equipped with a temperature-controlled material chamber and precision dispensing mechanisms, enables immediate filling and compacting of minor potholes. The system incorporates GPS-based autonomous navigation, route optimization, and obstacle avoidance for efficient operation, while a digital mapping module records and categorizes hazards by urgency, transmitting data to remote monitoring stations. Designed for sustainability, the system integrates energy-efficient components, debris segregation for recycling, and eco-friendly operations, offering a comprehensive solution for enhancing road safety, reducing maintenance inefficiencies, and supporting long-term infrastructure planning.
