A vehicle body of a rolling compaction vehicle is provided with a battery case and a motor. A removable battery is removably housed in an insertion hole of the battery case. The battery case is in an inclined position. This inclination causes an opening of the insertion hole to face an outer edge of the vehicle body, and causes a wall portion that holds back the removable battery to face the inside of the vehicle body. Here, the lower end of the wall portion is located at a position lower than the lower end of the opening. Electric power of the removable battery is supplied to the motor.

Systems and methods determine a current production rate of a piece of equipment processing first paving material at a worksite, receive first information indicative of an amount of power within a battery of the piece of equipment, receive second information indicative of a characteristic of the worksite, and determine predicted production rate of the piece of equipment to process second paving material at the worksite. The systems and methods further determine an amount of power required by the piece of equipment to process the second paving material at the worksite and determine that the amount of power within the battery of the piece of equipment is insufficient for the amount of power required by the piece of equipment to process the second paving material at the worksite.

A vibratory compactor includes a drum, a frame supporting the drum, an eccentric shaft configured to be rotated by a vibration motor, and a primary eccentric weight attached to the eccentric shaft inside the drum. At least one active isolation eccentric weight is located outside the drum so that when the eccentric shaft is rotated, a phase of a vibration generated by the at least one active isolation eccentric weight is substantially opposite to that of a vibration generated by the primary eccentric weight.

A control system (40) is disclosed for a mobile machine (10) configured to transfer material into a receptacle (18). The control system may include a first sensor (44) configured to generate a first signal indicative of one of a speed of the mobile machine and a distance between the mobile machine and the receptacle, a display system (56) having at least one display device (58) configured to show information relating to one or more of the mobile machine and the receptacle to an operator of the receptacle, and a controller electronically connected to the first sensor and the display system. The controller may be configured to determine a relative speed of the receptacle with respect to the mobile machine based at least in part on the first signal and generate on the at least one display device a first visual indicator (68) indicative of the relative speed of the receptacle with respect to the mobile machine.

A road finishing machine comprises a height-adjustable screed mounted to a chassis of the road finishing machine for laying a paving layer, and at least one retainer device for supporting and positioning at least one sensor unit. The retainer device comprises at least one supporting arm module, at least one sensor module including the sensor unit, and at least one link that may be movably positioned at the supporting arm module to which the sensor module may be mounted and which mounts the sensor module to the supporting arm module. Furthermore, the sensor module comprises a retainer with a mounting plate which is releasably mounted to the link.

A road paver includes a screed for applying a material layer to a foundation and a layer thickness detecting device for detecting the thickness of the applied material layer. The layer thickness detecting device includes a first sensor for detecting a first distance from the applied material layer and a second sensor for detecting a second distance from the foundation. The layer thickness detecting device is securely attached to the screed.

The invention relates to an edge guard for a road milling machine and to a runner segment for such an edge guard. According to the present invention, the runner segment comprises an insertion projection that can be inserted into an insertion receptacle of the edge guard.

Slipform paver for the construction of pavements or structures made of concrete, comprising at least one machine frame, at least two travelling devices, wherein the at least two travelling devices are each connected to the machine frame by means of at least one height adjustment device, at least one motor drive system, which at least drives the at least two travelling devices, at least one working device for the construction of pavements or structures, at least one conveying device for the purpose of transporting concrete to the at least one working device, it is provided that at least one cleaning device is provided on the conveying device for the purpose of cleaning the conveying device.

A vibratory compactor is described that includes a drum, a frame supporting the drum, an eccentric shaft configured to be rotated by a vibration motor, and a primary eccentric weight attached to the eccentric shaft inside the drum. At least one active isolation eccentric weight is located outside the drum so that when the eccentric shaft is rotated, a phase of a vibration generated by the at least one active isolation eccentric weight is substantially opposite to that of a vibration generated by the primary eccentric weight.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a work train including a self-propelled road paver and a self-propelled feeder travelling ahead of the road paver, to a work train comprising a self-propelled road paver and a self-propelled feeder, as well as to a feeder and to a road paver for such a work train. According to one aspect of the present invention, the control of the road paver is effected automatically, to which end particularly the position of the feeder is determined and travel commands for the road paver are generated based on this information.
