The invention relates to a paver, in particular a slipform paver, having a machine frame 1 supported by front and rear undercarriages 2 and 3 and a paving device 6 for the paving of material. The invention relates additionally to a method of operating such a paver. The paver is provided with an apron monitoring device 13 configured to generate elevation profile data or elevation profile signals describing the elevation profile of the material deposited in the apron of the paving device 6 in a direction transverse to the working direction X. In addition, the paver has a data or signal processing device 16 receiving the elevation profile data or elevation profile signals. The apron monitoring device 13 provides the data needed to allow the material to be spread more evenly across the working width of the paver during the feeding operation by means of a spreading device for spreading the material to be paved in a direction transverse to the working direction X and/or to allow the spreading device to be controlled for improved spreading of the material after the paver has been fed.

A probe assembly for measuring a synthetic turf infill profile having a probe, a turf surface contact assembly and a sensor. The probe is configured to extend down through the turf infill profile until a tip of the probe contacts a lower boundary of the turf infill profile. The surface contact assembly is vertically movable relative to the probe while the probe is being moved downwardly into the turf infill profile, wherein the surface contact assembly has a contact area with the turf surface that is large enough to retain the surface contact assembly resting atop an upper boundary of the turf infill profile when the lowermost tip of the at least one probe has contacted the lower boundary of the turf infill profile. The sensor reads the distance between the upper and lower boundaries of the turf infill profile at a sampled location in the turf surface.

A paving machine can include a frame; a screed coupled to the frame; and a density sensor coupled to the paving machine and configured to measure a density of an asphalt mat as the screed passes over the asphalt mat.
