A construction machine, which is a feeder vehicle or a road finisher, comprises an operating platform, a material hopper, a conveyor belt system and an electronic control system. The conveyor belt system comprises a conveyor belt and one or more weight sensors which are configured to measure weight force of paving material located on the conveyor belt. In addition, the conveyor belt system comprises one or more inclination sensors which are configured to measure an inclination angle and/or a roll angle of the conveyor belt system. The electronic control system is configured to receive and process data from the one or more weight sensors and the one or more inclination sensors to calculate a mass of the paving material.

A paving train for producing at least one pavement layer on a traffic surface is formed from at least two independently driven units travelling in a group, such as a road finisher, a road paver, an IP finisher, a feeder, a supply unit or the like. The units move one behind the other at a given distance. In order to enable communication between the units via certain parameters such as speed, material filling level and the like, and in order also to easily control a corresponding distance between the units as well as the corresponding material transfer, a wireless communication link is formed between the units at least for exchanging speeds and/or material filling level.

Paving train

A system comprising a temperature measurement device for continuously detecting temperature values of a pavement laid by means of a paver. The system further comprises an image recording unit and an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is configured to determine an area of the laid pavement as a deviation area, if, based on temperature values detected for the area, one or more deviation criteria are fulfilled, wherein the determination is carried out during laying and in temporal proximity to the detection of the temperature values for the area. The system is additionally configured to generate, making use of the image recording unit, an image assigned to the deviation area.

Thermographic module for pavers

A system comprising a temperature measurement device for repeatedly detecting temperature values of a pavement laid by a paver. The system is configured for ascertaining a temperature value for a specific measuring point at at least two different moments in time by means of the temperature measurement device, the specific measuring point lying in an area of the laid pavement. The system additionally comprises an evaluation unit, the evaluation unit being configured for determining a cooling behavior of the laid pavement. This is done by making use of the at least two different temperature values that have been detected for the specific measuring point at the at least two different moments in time.

A road finishing machine with a thermographic device releasably fixed to a portion of the machine for recording a georeferenced thermographic data record of at least one region of a pavement layer. The thermographic device includes a housing in which a detection unit for detecting a thermographic data record and a further detection unit for detecting a space-related data record for the thermographic data record are disposed.

Road finishing machine with a thermographic device

A road finishing machine, comprising a screed for laying a paving layer on a subsoil and at least one temperature sensor. According to the disclosure, the temperature sensor is fixed to the road finishing machine and directed to the subsoil such that it may detect a temperature at least of a region of the subsoil which is located in front of the screed, seen in the direction of travel. In accordance with the disclosure, the temperature data of the subsoil region may be georeferenced and sent to a following compacting vehicle for determining a rolling pattern, said vehicle determining or adapting its rolling pattern based on said data.

The present disclosure relates to a road finishing machine with a thermographic device releasably fixed to a portion of the machine for recording a georeferenced thermographic data record of at least one region of a pavement layer. The thermographic device includes a housing in which a detection unit for detecting a thermographic data record and a further detection unit for detecting a space-related data record for the thermographic data record are disposed.

In a system for laying down an asphalt layer made of asphalt material, and having a road paver having a screed with compacting tools, a compacting device and a mixer, an electronic material density module is provided in or for the road paver. The electronic material density module obtains data during the laying process regarding at least the actual degree of compaction of the asphalt layer produced in the area of at least one compacting tool and evaluates and/or documents these data at least for operational optimisation and/or operational monitoring of the road paver and/or compacting device and/or mixer. The data obtained is communicated to the compacting device that produces the final degree of compaction of the asphalt layer based on the data and on the actual degree of compaction determined at the screed.

System and method for laying down and compacting an asphalt layer

A method and a system for applying a road surface using a mixing plant for producing laying material, a road finishing machine processing the laying material to a road surface, and a supply chain transporting the laying material from the mixing plant to the road finishing machine. Request commands are transmitted from the road finishing machine to the mixing plant and/or to the supply chain, and, depending on these request commands, the production rate of the laying material in the mixing plant, the temperature of the laying material produced in the mixing plant, and/or the mass flow of laying material supplied to the road finishing machine per time unit by means of the supply chain are adjusted.

Method and system for applying a road surface

Method for laying down a pavement with a road paver, in which machine parameters are coordinated at least with paving requirements of the pavement by means of a controller and in which at least one machine parameter set is created and stored in advance for a paving requirement determined before the paving, the parameter set allowing a high level of machine efficiency and pavement quality to be expected and/or has already produced the same for an at least similar earlier paving requirement of an already laid down pavement, and the pavement on the basis of the parameter set created in advance. The road paver has a controller with an on-board computer connected to a sensor system and an actuating system, and includes memories and a retrieval and/or comparison section for triggering the actuating system for implementing the machine parameters of the parameter set created in advance.

The invention relates to a construction machine, in particular a road finishing machine, which can be set to at least two different operating modes by the operator. With a control system, a determined position for a drive can be stored in a first operating mode to which the drive automatically moves during a change from a second operating mode back to the first operating mode. In case of a change of the operating mode from the second operating mode to the first operating mode, several drives can optionally also be simultaneously moved to the previously stored position.

A system for controlling construction site vehicles has a plurality of construction site vehicles and a control room. Data can be transmitted on communication channels between the control room and the construction site vehicles. In the control room, at least one digital map is stored in which at least one additional piece of information is stored for individual road sections, in addition to the route of the respective road section. A navigation module is provided and designed to generate, with reference to the at least one digital map, navigation recommendations for the construction site vehicles.
