A method includes receiving target data for a paving project corresponding to a work period. The method also includes receiving sensor data from one or more components associated with the paving project, determining a progress value representing progress of the one or more components of the paving project, and determining a threshold progress value for a time period, the time period having a duration that is less than a duration of a work period. The method further includes determining that the progress value is less than the threshold progress value, generating at least one of an alarm or a recommendation, and sending the alarm or the recommendation to an electronic device.

A machine train is composed of a road milling machine that travels in front and a road finisher that travels behind. The road milling machine has a profile data determining device configured so that a sequence of height profile data describing the height of the road surface in the longitudinal direction is determined while the road milling machine advances. For transmission of the height profile data, a data transmission device is provided on the road milling machine and a data receiving device is provided on the road finisher. To change the position of the screed, the road finisher has a levelling device that comprises at least one actuator and a control unit, which is configured so that the control unit generates a control signal for controlling the at least one actuator in accordance with a height profile data set.

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 system, apparatus, and method may operatively couple to an integrated generator that supplies power to a component of a mobile machine that intermittently demands power during operation of the mobile machine and to a charging station. On condition that the component in the mobile machine does not need power, power may be supplied to the charging station. On condition that an electric mobile machine is connected to the charging station, power from the charging station may be supplied to the electric mobile machine. Otherwise, power may be supplied to the charging station in an energy accumulator to store the power.

A control unit of a temperature measurement system for a road construction machine; the control unit having access to a database, a plurality of specification data sets stored on the database, each of the plurality of specification data sets being assigned to a local region and including a temperature measurement specification and/or a temperature measurement report specification; including a data set selector and a data analyzer. The data set selector is configured to select a respective specification data set from the plurality based on position information for the road construction machine, the position information pointing to the respective local region. The data analyzer is connected to a temperature sensor and configured to analyze raw data received from the temperature sensor taking into account the selected temperature measurement specification and/or to output a local specific temperature report based on analyzed raw data taking into account the selected temperature measurement report specification.
