Several cities in the US have deployed a one-person pothole-filling truck called Cimline P5 to fill potholes and combat road accidents. Using the ‘DuraPatcher' technology, the truck can patch 1 pothole in two minutes with asphalt spray.

Given its operational speed, the Cimline P5 has significantly increased the average number of potholes covered per day from 20 to 146, a 7x increase.

The design of the DuraPatcher technology includes a large nozzle connected to an truck. The truck is filled with a tar-like asphalt emulsion, which can be sprayed into a pothole after it is heated. The Cimline P5 is currently operational in Texas.
