Traffic sucks, and, according to the American Highway Users Alliance, one of the major causes of traffic jams, after bottlenecks and traffic incidents, is roadwork, accounting for 15% of the total roadway congestion in the US. And, while better public transportation and carpooling would reduce the first two major causes of traffic, Advanced Paving Technologies has a cutting edge solution to cause number three and they’re turning to UC Davis and Kickstarter to bring it to life.
On October 15th, Advanced Paving Technologies will be launching a Kickstarter, in partnership with the UC Davis Pavement Research Center, to fund its 3D Asphalt Paving Machine, a device that they believe will be able to “rehabilitate broken roads better, faster, cheaper and cleaner.” So far, the machine is only a concept, but it’s a pretty interesting one. …
