Abstract
The present invention proposes a ground compactor with a ground compaction drum rotating about a rotation axis during compaction of a substrate, wherein the ground compaction drum includes a deformation sensor for detection of an elastic deformation of the ground compaction drum in order to determine a degree of stiffness of the substrate.
Claims14
A ground compactor with a ground compaction drum rotating about a rotation axis during compaction of a substrate and an evaluation unit, wherein the ground compaction drum includes a deformation sensor for detecting an elastic deformation of the ground compaction drum, and in that the evaluation device is configured to determine the degree of stiffness of the substrate and/or the shape of a bow wave preceding the ground compaction drum in a working direction and/or the shape of a depression trough of the ground compaction drum based on the position of a point on a circumference of the ground compaction drum where the deformation sensor measures the largest deformation.
