Abstract
A system for determining compaction of a work surface. The system includes a first frame, and a second frame pivotally coupled to the first frame at an articulated joint. The system includes a first traction unit operatively coupled to the first frame and configured to compact the work surface and a second traction unit operatively coupled to the second frame and configured to propel the second frame over the work surface. The system includes a force sensor positioned at the articulated joint and configured to measure a force transferred between the first frame and the second frame. The system includes a controller configured to determine, based on the force, a first compaction level of a first region of the work surface in rolling engagement with the first traction unit and a second compaction level of a second region of the work surface in rolling engagement with the second traction unit.
