A control system for a road paver comprises a camera system configured to generate image data of an environment of the road paver. The control system further comprises a controller electronically connected to the camera system. The controller is configured to receive the image data from the camera system, and to apply an object recognition process on the received image data to identify an edge line serving as a reference line for a mat to be laid by the road paver, and to determine a three dimensional position of the identified edge line. The controller may automatically control the road paver, and may assist an operator to control the road paver based on the identified position of the edge line.

A road paver includes a paving screed adjustable in height for installing a road surface layer and at least one holding device for carrying and positioning of at least one sensor unit. The holding device has at least one swivel arm module for fastening the holding device on the road paver, at least one carrier arm module and at least one sensor module comprising the sensor unit. The carrier arm module is fastened by a first clamping device on the swivel arm module and the sensor module is fastened by a second clamping device on the carrier arm module, wherein the first and the second clamping device are formed respectively for a predetermined clamping force when the respective clamping devices are in a closed position.

A method of repairing an edge guard for a road milling machine. An edge guard includes an edge portion having a plurality of insertion receptacles receiving insertion projections of a plurality of runner segments. A worn runner segment is removed by withdrawing its insertion projection from it associated insertion receptacle. A new runner segment is replaced by inserting its insertion projection into the insertion receptacle from which the worn runner segment was taken.

The disclosure relates to a road finishing machine with a screed for producing a paving layer, wherein the screed includes at least one compacting unit for precompacting paving material supplied to the screed. The compacting unit includes at least one eccentric bushing mounted on an eccentric shaft supporting the same at a desired angle of rotation to thereby continuously variably set a desired tamper stroke of a tamper bar of the compacting unit. For rotating the eccentric bushing on the eccentric shaft, an adjusting mechanism mounted spaced apart from the eccentric shaft and at least partially rotatable along with a rotary motion of the eccentric shaft can be activated. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a method for a continuously variable tamper stroke adjustment at a compacting unit of a road finishing machine.
