Device and method for determining the position of a road compactor with respect to a finisher

摘要

The device has a transceiver mounted to a road roller (100) for transmitting transmit signals and for receiving receive signals caused by the transmit signal from two spaced apart reference points on the road finisher. An evaluation unit (150) determines a position of the road roller relative to the road finisher based on a run time between transmitting the transmit signal and receiving a receive signal from a reference point and a run time between transmitting the transmit signal and receiving another receive signal from another reference point. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for determining the position of a road roller relative to a road finisher (2) a method for constructing a road (3) a computer program for determining position of a road roller.
