Abstract
A paving train for producing at least one pavement layer on a traffic surface is formed from at least two independently driven units travelling in a group, such as a road finisher, a road paver, an IP finisher, a feeder, a supply unit or the like. The units move one behind the other at a given distance. In order to enable communication between the units via certain parameters such as speed, material filling level and the like, and in order also to easily control a corresponding distance between the units as well as the corresponding material transfer, a wireless communication link is formed between the units at least for exchanging speeds and/or material filling level.
Claims20
A paving train for producing at least one pavement layer on a traffic surface, the paving train comprising:
- at least two independently drivable units for traveling in a group, which units are movable one behind the other at a predeterminable distance, wherein the at least two units comprise a feeder and one of a road finisher, a road paver, or an IP finisher, and wherein the feeder is configured to supply material to the road finisher, the road paver, or the IP finisher;
- and
- a wireless communication system for forming a wireless communication link between the at least two units at least for exchanging material level data and at least one of paving speed data or material flow rate data, so that distance between the feeder and the road finisher, the road paver, or the IP finisher may be controlled based on the material level data and at least one of paving speed data or material flow rate data.
A paving train for producing at least one pavement layer on a traffic surface, the paving train comprising:
- at least two independently drivable units for traveling in a group, wherein the at least two units are movable one behind the other at a predeterminable distance;
- and
- a wireless communication system for establishing a wireless communication link between the at least two units for communicating speed and/or material level data;
- wherein the at least two units comprise two finishers and a feeder assigned to the two finishers, and wherein an operator of the paving train can transmit a current material stock of each finisher by means of the wireless communication link.
