Abstract
III. LITERATURE STUDY
The plastic recycling and reuse machine is a machine designed to help fill the holes or cavities on roads by using melted plastic bags or sacks to fill the cavities in the asphalt. The objective of this project is to develop a user friendly and low cost pothole filling machine. The machine would help repair potholes on Indian roads and also help in reducing the amount of plastic waste by reusing it for the repairing of the roads. This report highlights and discusses the findings, methodology and results of this prototype.
1. Design and fabrication of pothole repairing machine using plastic waste in mixes: The project created a manually operated machine which cleans the potholes on the roads and discharges the required amount of concrete to fill the potholes and do a levelling process on the discharged concrete using a roller. The major goal of this project was to reduce plastic trash by developing a machine that was tiny, lightweight, and easy to run in both rural and urban locations.
Keywords: Potholes, plastic recycling and waste, pavement
I. INTRODUCTION India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. The road network is gigantic in India which is needed for commercial and private transportation. The condition of the roads deteriorates over time as the vehicles commute on them on a daily basis, due to which potholes are created over the course of a certain time when the road is being used. Potholes are a depression in a road surface, usually asphalt pavement, where traffic has removed broken pieces of the pavement. They are usually the result of water in the underlying soil structure and traffic passing over the affected area, bad weather conditions, rainwater seeping into the underlying soil structure of the asphalt, improper maintenance and insufficient pavement thickness. These issues need to be addressed in order to avoid the risk of traffic accidents and to ensure the safety of the people commuting through the road on a daily basis.

Pothole Filling Vehicle Using Waste Plastic: This project proposes a pothole filling vehicle to be made and implemented to fill the potholes by using plastic as a filler material. A shredder is used to shred waste plastic gathered from numerous sources such as apartments, schools, and civic personnel. After that, the shredded portions are placed in bags for about a week to allow the moisture to evaporate. The pothole can be detected using a sensor. The use scrap plastic as a filler material to fill in this pothole was done. 3. Simulation of Pothole Filling Machine: A simulation for a pothole filling system is presented in this research. It is proposed that a Cartesian robot work on the rack and pinion mechanism. For an actual viscous bituminous emulsion used for pothole repair, the transitory time to transfer from one point to another is taken into account, and the time for pouring is determined. The simulation can also properly predict the time it will take to fill the pothole, allowing for better workforce management and less material waste.
II. OBJECTIVES The main objective of this project to create a machine that will fill cavities in the potholes by using melted plastic.This project aims to provide an updated survey of the various thermoplastic polymers in order to obtain recyclable materials for various industrial and indoor applications. The aim of this project is also to successfully study and repair the potholes that are caused on the road surfaces which can be harmful if left unattended.
