Temperature dependent auto adaptive compaction
First Claim
1. A compactor system comprising:
- a roller drum configured to compact a work material;
a vibratory mechanism coupled to the roller drum; and
a controller operatively coupled to the vibratory mechanism, the controller being configured to determine a vibration effort based on a vibration parameter, and to generate an output signal to control the vibratory mechanism to apply the vibration effort to the roller drum, the controller including;
at least one sensor configured to sense a first data parameter of the work material, and further configured to sense a second data parameter of the roller drum; and
a processor configured to calculate the vibration parameter based on the first data parameter and the second data parameter.

Abstract
A compactor system for compacting a work material includes a roller drum, a vibratory mechanism, and a controller. The roller drum is configured to compact a work material. The vibratory mechanism is coupled to the roller drum and operatively coupled to the controller. The controller is configured to determine a vibration effort based on a vibration parameter, and further configured to generate an output signal to control the vibratory mechanism to apply the vibration effort to the roller drum. The controller includes at least one sensor and a processor. The at least one sensor is configured to sense a first data parameter of the work material and a second data parameter of the roller drum. The processor is configured to calculate the vibration parameter based on the first data parameter and the second data parameter.
