Abstract
The invention relates to a sideways drift correction device for a mobile production machine comprising a removal of material and a tool for processing the removed material, having a sensor component and an evaluation component. The sensor component detects the structure of at least one part of the underground surface relative to which the production machine moves. The evaluation component determines the relative motion direction of a reference point on the production machine relative to the subsoil from the time-variable information of the underground surface, and derives steering correction information therefrom.
