Abstract: A road stud placement and removal system includes an induction heating system to quickly heat an appropriate quantity of road stud adhesive. A specific volume of the road adhesive may be dispensed by the system on the road surface, and a road stud placement assembly may automatically place a road stud in the dispensed adhesive. The stud placement system is operable to automatically dispense stud adhesive and place road studs in succession. According to certain embodiments, the placement system may be supported by a traffic safety vehicle, which enables the worker to automatically place the road studs while driving the vehicle.
