Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for automatically controlling a construction process of a road section, the section comprising a plurality of subsections, the construction process comprising processing a road surface material layer using a paver with a height-adjustable screed, the paver travelling along a predetermined path, the method comprising receiving construction design data comprising information about the path and about a nominal surface and a nominal layer thickness of the paved road surface material layer for a multitude of positions along the path, receiving a set of rules comprising different priorities for each of the plurality of subsections, continuously receiving position data indicating a current position of the screed, continuously receiving thickness data indicating a current layer thickness of the paved road surface material layer, calculating a height-adjustment of the screed, generating, based on the calculation, control data to adjust a height of the screed.
