Abstract: A paving machine may include a frame, a screed, sensor devices, and a control unit. The screed may include a main section, a first extension, and a second extension. The sensor devices may output a first sensor signal corresponding to a position of the first extension and a second sensor signal corresponding to a position of the second extension. The control unit may receive the first and second sensor signals, determine a screed width based on the first and second sensor signals, receive location data corresponding to a location of the paving machine, determine locations of the first and second extensions based on the screed width and the location data, generate a boundary map based on the locations of the first and second extensions, and cause an action to be performed based on the boundary map.

Abstract: A screed assembly for a paving machine may comprise a main screed and an extension screed configured to extend from the main screed to a fully-extended position. The extension screed may include a deflector and a material bypass prevention plate affixed to the extension screed. The material bypass prevention plate may have a projection that extends into and fills a space between the material bypass prevention plate and the main screed when the extension screed is in the fully-extended position.
