System for a paver for determining a cooling behavior

A method for determining a cooling behavior of a pavement laid by a paver, the method comprising:

• determining by a temperature measurement device a first surface temperature value for a specific measuring point at a first instance in time during a laying process of the pavement, the specific measuring point being in an area of the pavement laid by the paver;
• determining by the temperature measurement device at least a second surface temperature value for the specific measuring point at at least a second instance in time during the laying process, the at least second instance in time being after the first instance in time;
• determining a cooling behavior of the laid pavement from the at least two determined surface temperature values for the specific measuring point;
• determining, using an evaluation unit, a control factor of the laying process of the pavement using the determined cooling behavior of the laid pavement;
• and
• controlling an aspect of the laying process of the pavement based on the control factor.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with stored computer-executable instructions, which, when executed, carry out a control method comprising the following steps:

• instructing a temperature measurement device to determine a first surface temperature value for a specific measuring point at a first instance in time during a laying process of pavement by a paver, the specific measuring point being in an area of the pavement laid by the paver;
• instructing the temperature measurement device to determine at least a second surface temperature value for the specific measuring point at at least a second instance in time during the laying process, the at least second instance in time being after the first instance in time;
• determining a cooling behavior of the laid pavement from the at least two determined surface temperature values for the specific measuring point;
• determining a control factor of the laying process of the pavement using the determined cooling behavior of the laid pavement;
• and
• controlling an aspect of the laying process of the pavement based on the control factor.
