AUTONOMOUS TUNNEL CLEANING SYSTEM
An autonomous tunnel cleaning system (ATCS) (10) has a guidance system (12) and a cleaning apparatus (14). The guidance system (12) is capable of guiding the cleaning apparatus (14) along at least a portion of a tunnel (16). The cleaning apparatus is capable of autonomously travelling along the tunnel (16) under guidance of the guidance system (12). The cleaning apparatus (14) cleans a length of the tunnel (16) while it travels along the tunnel. The cleaning apparatus (14) has a brushing member (34) and a fluid delivery system (36). The fluid delivery system (36) includes tanks (46, 48) and spray manifolds (56) and (58). The fluid delivery system (36) operates to deliver fluid onto the wall (18) in advance of and/or trailing the brushing member (34). A refilling system (84) enables automatic refiling of tanks (46), and (48) as the ATCS (10) travels along the tunnel.
