Auger and conveyor speed control

Abstract

A paving system includes a paving machine including a drive assembly, a paving material delivery system, and a material depth sensor. The paving material delivery system includes a hopper, a conveyor assembly, an auger, and a screed. The material depth sensor is configured to detect a head of paving material in front of the screed. The paving machine further includes a controller in communication with the material depth sensor. The controller is configured to receive a feed sensor signal from the material depth sensor, receive an auger speed signal indicative of a speed of the auger, and adjust a conveyor speed based on at least one of the feed sensor signal and the auger speed signal.
