Abstract
A method for placing an audible feature on a road includes heating a composition and depositing the composition onto at least one of a surface of the road and an existing layer on the road. The composition seeps into porous areas of at least one of the surface of the road and the existing layer on the road and cools to form the audible feature. The audible feature adheres to at least one of the surface of the road and the existing layer on the road.
Claims20
A method for placing an audible feature on a road, comprising:
- heating a composition;
- and
- depositing the composition onto at least one of a surface of the road and an existing layer on the road,
- wherein the composition bonds with at least one of the surface of the road and the existing layer on the road and cools to form the audible feature.
A method for placing an audible feature on a road using a hydrostatic pump and a depositing device mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- heating a composition to a liquid state;
- and
- depositing the composition onto at least one of a surface of the road and an existing layer on the road using the pump and depositing device,
- wherein the composition bonds with at least one of the surface of the road and the existing layer on the road and cools to form the audible feature.
A system for mounting on a vehicle and configured for placing an audible feature on a road, comprising:
- a heating element configured to heat a composition;
- a hydraulic pump;
- and
- a depositing device configured to receive the composition from the hydraulic pump, the depositing device configured to cut portions of the composition and provide the portions onto at least one of a surface of the road and an existing layer on the road, the portions of composition bonding with at least one of the surface of the road and the existing layer on the road and cooling to form the audible feature.
