Abstract
A system for a compactor includes one or more first sensors, one or more second sensors, and a controller including one or more memories and one or more processors. The processors are configured to receive, from the first sensors, one or more first signals indicative of a first amplitude of vibration of a first vibration system of the compactor, receive, from the second sensors, one or more second signals indicative of a second amplitude of vibration of a second vibration system of the compactor, determine if a difference between the first amplitude of vibration and the second amplitude of vibration is greater than a predetermined threshold value stored in the memories, and generate an output signal if a difference between the first amplitude of vibration and the second amplitude of vibration is greater than the predetermined threshold value.
