Freeze-Thaw Split and Rutting are tested on 9 kinds of grading AC-16 asphalt mixture with different size and proportion fine aggregate. The results show that the percent passing 4.75mm sieve has affected significantly on the high-temperature rutting resistance and water stability of the asphalt mixture. Based on laboratory test results and grading application experience, it is proposed that the engineering design grading envelope of AC-16 asphalt mixture adapted to the summer hot climates characteristics, which improved the rutting resistance capability of asphalt pavement in hot areas during summer.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125195193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maintaining connectivity of networked robots is always a challenge in multirobot cooperation. In this paper, we develop a novel controller to guarantee multirobots with limited communication capabilities to approach their individual goal positions while maintaining network connectivity and avoiding self-collisions during motion. Physical size of the robot is particularly considered. A new inter-robot constraint named connectivity constraint is added to the constructed navigation function, which results in a potential field integrating navigation requirement, connectivity constraint and self-collision avoidance, simultaneously. Based on the improved navigation function, a controller with bounded control inputs is generated.
