The present disclosure includes methods for adding line features to a roadway surface. In some examples, the line features may include wires, conduits and electronic components. In some examples, the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus may create communication means into an advanced roadway in line features, which may be used for various communications including communications to and from autonomous vehicles. The communications may involve data related to the operation of systems of autonomous vehicles. In other examples, the line features may be dynamically colored with LED components.

A reclaimer has a frame and a plurality of wheels connected to the frame. The reclaimer has a drum chamber connected to the frame and including movable door. The reclaimer has a milling drum positioned within the drum chamber. The milling drum engages with a ground surface. The reclaimer has an engine that rotates the milling drum and propels the wheels such that material exits the drum chamber from under the movable door. Further, the reclaimer has a controller that determines a position of the movable door based on at least one of a machine characteristic and a predetermined gradation for the material exiting from the drum chamber, and selectively adjusts an actuator associated with the movable door based on the determined position.

A hydraulic system for controlling a hydraulic circuit of a working machine is disclosed. The hydraulic system can include a first hydraulic cylinder assembly, a second hydraulic cylinder assembly, a third hydraulic cylinder assembly and a valve. When coupled to the first hydraulic cylinder assembly and the second hydraulic cylinder assembly, the third hydraulic cylinder assembly can be configured to control a flow of a hydraulic fluid between the first hydraulic cylinder assembly and the second hydraulic cylinder assembly to limit an extent of travel of the first piston and an extent of travel of the second piston.

A ground milling machine, in particular a soil stabilizer or a recycler, comprising a machine frame carried by front and rear traveling devices, a drive engine arranged on the machine frame, a ground milling device with a milling rotor supported for rotation about a horizontal rotation axis extending transversely to the working direction of the ground milling machine, said milling rotor having a plurality of ground processing tools, and with a milling rotor housing having an interior space which is open in the downward direction towards the underlying ground and in which the milling rotor is arranged, said milling rotor being height-adjustable via a milling depth adjusting device having a drive, and said milling rotor housing being connected to the machine frame via a housing support device. The invention further relates to a method for operating a ground milling machine. According to an essential aspect of the invention, provision is made for a lifting movement of the front edge of the milling rotor housing relative to the machine frame depending on the milling depth.

A milling machine, system, and method for implementing a return to cut operation and/or an exit cut operation controls legs of the milling machine, a rotor of the milling machine, and front and rear doors of a mixing chamber of the milling machine according to settings for each of the return to cut operation and the exit cut operation. Such control can be based on signals from one or more sensors of the milling machine configured to sense various position-related characteristics of the milling machine, and can be performed responsive to a control input at an operator control interface of the milling machine.

A milling machine, system, and method for implementing an exit cut operation raises a rotor from a state where the rotor contacts ground surface material responsive to a control input at an operator control interface of the milling machine. The rate at which the rotor is raised can increase as the rotor is raised. When the rotor is determined to have reached a top surface of the ground surface material the rotor can be raised at a maximum rate.

A milling machine, system, and method for adjusting a rotor cutting height adjusts the rotor cutting height to a target cutting height responsive to a control input received at an operator control interface. One or more legs of the milling machine and/or a height of the rotor can be adjusted to adjust the rotor cutting height to the target cutting height. The rotor cutting height can be adjusted based on data from one or more sensors. Each sensor may be a sonic sensor or an image capturing sensor.

A milling machine may include a frame. The milling machine may include a first wheel and a second wheel connected to a first end of the frame, and a third wheel connected to a second end of the frame. The milling machine may include a first leg, a second leg, and a third leg connecting the frame and the first wheel, the second wheel, and the third wheel, respectively. The milling machine may include a pair of arms pivotably connected to opposite sides of the frame. The milling machine may have a milling drum rotatably connected to the arms with a rotational axis parallel to the pivot axis. Further, the milling machine may have an engine that rotates the milling drum via a transmission. An output shaft of the engine positioned transverse to the frame may have an output shaft axis spaced apart from the pivot axis of the arms.

The present invention relates to an asphalt composition comprising asphalt or an asphalt mixture and to a silicon carbide-containing binder that can be heated by means of microwaves. The silicon carbide is present in the binder in particle form, the equivalent diameter of silicon carbide particles contained in the binder is less than 60 μm. The invention also relates to a method for producing and/or renovating road surfaces or asphalt surfaces comprising at least one asphalt surface layer.

Portable asphalt reclaimer having a pivotable lid with an integral heating element, and an asphalt holding chamber containing a grate. Asphalt may be reclaimed by placing asphalt chunks on the grate, heating them from above using the heating element in the lid until asphalt falls through the holes in the grate. The asphalt may be removed through a lower door. The pivotable lid may be detachable to separately heat the ground surface to which asphalt is to be applied.
