About Pavelink Tshuab Tsim Kho Txoj Kev Ntse
Pavelink yog ib lub tshuab tsim kho txoj kev uas muaj kev txawj ntse thiab muaj ntau lub modules sib txuas tau, tsim los txhim kho kev ua haujlwm tau zoo, kev nyab xeeb, thiab kev nkag tau yooj yim hauv kev txhim kho cov qauv tsim kho hauv zej zog. Nws muaj qhov system ua tsheb thauj khoom uas rub plaub lub modules uas tshem tau uas hloov mus ua cov tshuab ua haujlwm tus kheej xws li cov tshuab nias, cov tshuab thauj, cov tshuab thawb av, thiab cov tshuab khawb av. Ib lub drones uas siv AI muab cov ntaub ntawv tshuaj xyuas toj roob hauv pes tam sim ntawd, ua kom cov tswv yim ntawm kev kho txoj kev zoo dua. Los ntawm kev sib txuas cov kev ua haujlwm tus kheej, kev hloov tau raws li qhov xav tau ntawm cov modules, thiab kev sib koom tes ntse, PaveLink tsis tsuas yog ua kom kev tsim kho txoj kev nrawm dua xwb, tab sis kuj pab txo qhov sib txawv ntawm cov qauv tsim kho, ua kom cov txoj kev nyab xeeb thiab ntseeg tau nkag tau yooj yim dua

- Unique Properties
- PaveLink is a next-generation intelligent road builder, designed to enhance efficiency and safety in disaster relief and infrastructure projects. Unlike traditional road machinery, it features a modular architecture, allowing its components to detach and function autonomously for excavation, loading, bulldozing, and compacting. The truck head serves as the central control hub, managing all modules and processing real-time aerial drone data for optimized decision-making. This AI-enhanced system redefines the future of road construction.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 17000mm x 4210mm x 3890mm

- Autonomous Road Construction, Modular Heavy Machinery, AI-driven Paving System, Smart Road Builder, IoT in Construction, Disaster Relief Equipment, Smart Construction Technology, Unmanned Machinery, Collaborative Fleet
- Production Technology
- The design follows a human-centered approach, addressing inequalities in infrastructure development while enhancing safety in road construction. A modular design strategy improves efficiency and functionality, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, autonomous driving, and AI-assisted automation to minimize labor dependency. Powered by electricity, PaveLink utilizes drone inspections and backend data analysis for multi-module collaboration. It is not just an improvement of existing machinery but a new category of heavy machines.
- Design Challenge
- PaveLink is not a traditional construction vehicle but a new category of heavy machinery, making it a pioneering design with no direct reference models. The challenge was to integrate multiple functions while ensuring practicality and efficiency. Setting high design standards required continuous validation. Through multiple iterations, expert consultations, and prototype testing with industry partners, we developed a modular and intelligent collaborative system to meet real-world construction demands.
- Research
- This research is a collaborative project between academia and industry, exploring how emerging technologies can be integrated into large-scale machinery to solve real-world challenges in infrastructure development and unequal access to construction resources. The study combined academic creativity with industrial expertise, where universities contributed design innovation, and companies provided technical support and operator insights through interviews and feedback. This collaboration ensured PaveLink’s feasibility, advancing smart construction solutions that promote efficiency, safety, and inclusivity in future infrastructure development.
- Inspiration
- Road construction is the backbone of local development, yet many underdeveloped regions, disaster-affected areas, and rugged terrains face immense challenges in building and maintaining roads. High construction complexity and safety risks remain persistent issues. Inspired by emerging technologies, PaveLink integrates AI-driven automation and IoT connectivity to address disparities in infrastructure development, making road construction smarter, faster, and more resilient.
- Project Duration
- The project was launched in Shandong in February 2024 and concluded in Shandong in June 2024. It was recognized by the Shandong provincial government and participated in the 14th National Art Exhibition of China in 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Initially, PaveLink appears as a single truck, with all road-building modules connected. Upon reaching the construction site, the truck head acts as the command center, operated by technicians. The modules detach and transition into autonomous operation, optimizing workflow through AI-coordinated control. Powered by electricity, all units remain linked via cables, receiving real-time power and instructions. Aerial drones detach to provide precise terrain mapping and safety monitoring, ensuring optimal performance in complex environments.
