Abstract: A method for adapting a leveling control of a road finishing machine comprises: detecting first ground profile data of a first ground profile of a foundation in a surrounding area of the road finishing machine at point in time t0, wherein the road finishing machine is located at position x0; detecting second ground profile data of a second ground profile of the foundation in a surrounding area of the road finishing machine at point in time t1, wherein the road finishing machine is located at position x1, and the second ground profile partially overlaps the first ground profile; determining a translational and rotational matrix which maps a movement of the road finishing machine in space from the point in time t0 to the point in time t1; creating corrected ground profile data from the ground profile data by means of the matrix; determining an analysis region LA comprising at least a section of the first ground profile data L0 and/or a section of the corrected ground profile data; analyzing the analysis re

Abstract: A road finishing machine with a screed for producing a paving layer on a subsoil includes a leveling system for height adjustment of the screed for compensating for irregularities in the subsoil. The leveling system includes a cascade control having either a central control loop between outer and inner control loops that includes a control unit to determine, on the basis of a detected actual value of a pulling point position of a pulling point of the screed to a predetermined reference, and on the basis of a desired value of the pulling point position, a desired value of a leveling cylinder position, or a pulling point control between the outer and inner control loops to determine, on the basis of the desired value of the pulling point position of the pulling point of the screed, the desired value of the leveling cylinder position.

Abstract: A road finishing machine comprises a screed for producing a paving layer on a subsoil on which the road finishing machine is movable in a laying direction, wherein the screed has a pulling arm fixed to the road finishing machine at a front pulling point by a levelling cylinder; at least one measuring means for performing a distance measurement, a storage means, and a controlling system. The controlling system is embodied to calculate a correction value in response to at least one distance measurement performed with respect to the subsoil and/or to a reference, which is performable at a measuring point in front of a front edge of the screed, to at least temporarily store the correction value in the storage means and calculate a desired levelling value for the measuring point taking into consideration the stored correction value, based on which the levelling cylinder of the screed is controllable.

Abstract: A torque transmission apparatus for transmission of a torque to a transmission of a vehicle which can be driven via a hybrid drive is disclosed. The torque transmission apparatus comprises an input shaft, a rotor shaft, and a clutch device. The input shaft can be connected or is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to an internal combustion engine. The rotor shaft can be connected or is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to an electric machine. The clutch device connects the input shaft and the rotor shaft at least temporarily in a torque-transmitting manner. The clutch device can be configured in a first operating state, to transmit a torque between the input shaft and a transmission shaft which is assigned to a transmission via the rotor shaft. The crutch device can also be configured in a further operating state to transmit a reduced torque or no torque between the input shaft and the transmission shaft.

Abstract: A torque measurement system for measuring a torque acting on a rotatable shaft is provided. The torque measurement system includes a first housing portion having a first end adapted to be fixedly coupled to the rotatable shaft and a second end. The torque measurement system includes a second housing portion having a first end spaced apart from the second end of the first housing portion so as to define a gap between the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The second housing portion is adapted to be fixedly coupled to the rotatable shaft. The torque measurement system includes at least one sensor that observes at least one of the second end of the first housing portion, the first end of the second housing portion and the gap and generates sensor signals based on the observation. The sensor signals are indicative of a torque acting on the rotatable shaft.
