Abstract
A grinder truck with a computer controlled profiler in combination with a vehicle automated guidance system for guiding a vehicle and equipment secured to a vehicle for removing of road markings. The computer controlled profiler detects the position of one or more grinding, grooving, rumbling heads in the X, Y and Z position. A controller and one or more actuators are manipulated in response to ground markings visible in a camera field. A remote controller allows an operator to control grinder heads individually, and allows for precise adjustment based upon an operator's visual inspection.
