Self-propelled ground-processing machine and method for controlling a self-propelled ground-processing machine, as well as method for processing the ground with one or more self-propelled ground-processing machines

A system for simultaneously processing a ground with at least first and second self-propelled road milling machines, the system comprising:

• for each of the first and second road milling machines:
• a machine frame supported by running gears;
• a milling drum arranged on the machine frame;
• lifting devices assigned to the running gears for raising and lowering the running gears relative to the machine frame and responsive to actuation via a control device, wherein a first track and an adjacent second track are simultaneously processed with the first road milling machine and with the second road milling machine, respectively;
• the control device for the first road milling machine configured, during the processing of the first track in a transverse inclination recording mode, to:
• determine a sequence of position-related transverse inclination values comprising x-coordinates and y-coordinates and describing the transverse inclination of the processed ground in a direction transverse to the working direction at each of respective position points;
• create a transverse inclination model describing the transverse inclination extrapolated to laterally corresponding position points in at least the second track of the road based on the determined position-related transverse inclination values;
• and
• transmit the transverse inclination model to the second road milling machine;
• and
• the control device for the second road milling machine configured, during the processing of the second track in a transverse inclination control mode, to control at least one of the lifting devices at least as a function of the transverse inclination values that are determined based on the transverse inclination model received from the first road milling machine, wherein transverse inclination values are interpolated for a respective portion of the road between each set of the laterally corresponding position points.
