Abstract
The invention relates to a self-propelled ground-processing machine—in particular, road-milling machine—which has a machine framesupported by running gears; and a ground-processing device—in particular, milling drum—arranged on the machine frame; and lifting devicesA,A,A,A assigned to the running gears. The ground-processing machine is characterized by a transverse inclination model determination devicewhich provides, in a preceding working process, the information, required for performing a working process following the preceding working process, with respect to the transverse inclination α to be set of the machine frameor the milling drum, so that the subsequent processing process can be performed even if a suitable reference surface for determining distance values for a milling-depth control is not present on one side of the processed route portion. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for controlling a ground-processing machine and to a method for processing the ground with one or more self-propelled ground-processing machines.
