Abstract: A method for operating a soil processing machine includes a) providing an extent of steering-driving speed relationship reflecting a maximum permissible driving speed of the soil processing machine as a function of the extent of steering, b) detecting an actual extent of steering of the soil processing machine, c) setting a driving speed of the soil processing machine in such a way that the driving speed does not exceed the maximum permissible driving speed assigned to the actual extent of steering in accordance with the extent of steering-driving speed relationship provided in measure a).

Abstract: A method for compacting asphalt material (A) by means of at least one soil compactor (10) having at least one compactor roller with a motion generation arrangement assigned to the same, comprising the measures: a) detection of an asphalt temperature of the asphalt material (A) to be compacted, b) static compaction of the asphalt material (A) with a deactivated motion generation arrangement of the at least one compactor roller, if the asphalt temperature lies above an upper threshold temperature (O), c) static compaction of the asphalt material (A) with a deactivated motion generation arrangement of the at least one compactor roller, if the asphalt temperature lies below a lower threshold temperature (U), wherein the upper threshold temperature (O) and/or the lower threshold temperature (U) is/are set depending on at least one surroundings parameter (T) influencing the cooling behavior of the asphalt material to be compacted.

Abstract: A soil compactor is described. The soil compactor includes at least two vibrating compacting rollers rotatable about a respective roller axis of rotation. The soil compactor further includes a vibration excitation arrangement assigned to each vibrating compacting roller of the at least two vibrating compacting rollers for generating a vibrating movement of the at least two vibrating compacting rollers. The soil compactor also includes a sensor arrangement assigned to the soil compactor for providing a feedback signal indicative of sound or a structural vibration of the soil compactor. The soil compactor yet further includes a control unit receiving the feedback signal for controlling at least one vibration excitation arrangement, based on the feedback signal, such as to act on a phase offset of the vibrating movements of the at least two vibrating compacting rollers with respect to one another.
