Abstract: Paving machines and paving machine control systems utilize sensors to identify the location and orientation of paving machines and corresponding attachments. The control system implements a design profile by automatically adjusting actuators. The control system receives transition values to calculate a smooth transition including continuously adjusting actuator values with reference to the location and orientation of the paving machine. The control system may identify resurfacing values to repair a damaged surface by identifying an offset value of an existing surface to an ideal surface with reference to a disposition of the paving machine to minimize material usage.

Abstract: A smart steering control system a paving or texturing machine receives path elements corresponding to current and future positions of the machine. By comparing the current and future elements, an expected completion time is derived for exiting the current position and entering the future position; the smart steering control system synchronizes adjustments of the machine's steerable tracks from the current path to the future path. The smart steering control system functions as a virtual tie rod, preventing damage, enhancing the traction control and pulling power of the machine, and preserving the operating life of its components.

Abstract: A mobile machine includes a computerized system for determining a synchronized free-floating center of rotation. The synchronized free-floating center of rotation effectively coordinates the rotation of the machine's tracks or wheels in that it constrains the angles of rotation. The synchronized free-floating center of rotation is calculated based on a line-line intersection derived from a combined attack angle and one or more known reference points. Such system may allow rotation and counter-rotation utilizing a uniform hydraulic pressure for hydraulically driven tracks.
