摘要：	This report discusses the conceptual design of the Automated Cone Machine (ACM) that is currently under development at the University of California, Davis. Current methods used by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for deploying and retrieving traffic cones on highways involve exposing crew members to the hazards of fast moving traffic and flying debris. The ACM has been designed and developed to provide a reliable means of placing and retrieving traffic cones on the highway. The objective of this automated system is to maximize safety while maintaining current operation speed and efficiency. The ACM will minimize the exposure of workers to fast moving traffic by having all mechanisms controlled from within the confines of the truck cab. This report discusses the development of the ACM and includes the design details of the retrieval system, placement system, funnel system, storage system, operating control system, and the hydraulic drive system. The design process that includes the generation of the conceptual ideas and the methods for final concept selection is described in considerable detail for all of these subsystems. The operating control system utilizes a micro controller to integrate and activate the hydraulic powered ACM subsystems in predetermined sequences to effectively perform cone handling operations.
