Abstract
A road finisher () and a mobile supply unit () are described, between which a feed conveyor () with a discharge end () is provided. Road finisher () and supply unit () are movable independently of each other in travel direction (F), and their relative positions with respect to each other can be detected by a sensor means (). To automate such a system as much as possible and to make it useable under all paving situations, it is suggested that the sensor means () should include a position sensor () which has assigned thereto at least two mutually spaced-apart reference elements () for determining the position of the discharge end () in, and transversely to, the direction of travel (F).
