Abstract: A method for controlling a quality of a paving material distributed along a paving area using a paver includes: receiving a thermal profile of a portion of the paving area in which the paving material is distributed, and the thermal profile includes a plurality of temperature values of respective measurement points, and analyzing the thermal profile to detect segregation spots of the paving material within the portion. Analyzing includes determining a first zone of measurement points arranged adjacent to each other and having temperature values within a predetermined range, the first zone being at least partially surrounded by measurement points having temperature values out of the predetermined range, and analyzing an orientation of the first zone with respect to a travel direction of the paver. The last substep of analyzing is assigning an indication, in particular an error indication, to the portion based on the analyzing of the orientation.

Abstract: Asphalt mixing plant, comprising a mixing drum and a temperature monitoring system, the temperature monitoring system comprising a temperature sensor configured for contactless measurement of a material temperature of an asphalt mix to obtain at least a first temperature value for at least a first point of time, where the temperature sensor is arranged at an area of an output of the mixing drum or at a discharge chute of the mixing drum; and an operation and monitoring unit and a remote server; whereby the operation and monitoring unit is configured to wirelessly transmit the at least first temperature value to the remote server via a wireless communication interface unit.

Abstract: A control unit of a temperature measurement system for a road construction machine; the control unit having access to a database, a plurality of specification data sets stored on the database, each of the plurality of specification data sets being assigned to a local region and including a temperature measurement specification and/or a temperature measurement report specification; including a data set selector and a data analyzer. The data set selector is configured to select a respective specification data set from the plurality based on position information for the road construction machine, the position information pointing to the respective local region. The data analyzer is connected to a temperature sensor and configured to analyze raw data received from the temperature sensor taking into account the selected temperature measurement specification and/or to output a local specific temperature report based on analyzed raw data taking into account the selected temperature measurement report specification.
