Abstract: Methods for controlling the traveling operation of a self-propelled ground compaction machine with the aid of a control unit which provides travel control signals to a travel drive system of the ground compaction machine. The ground compaction machine may alternatively be operated in an operator mode in which travel specifications specified by an operator via a manually operable input device are transmitted to the control unit and are transmitted by the latter in the form of travel control signals to the travel drive system of the ground compaction machine. A ground compaction machine, in particular a vibratory plate or a trench roller.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for controlling a vehicle, more particularly, the power train of a compacting machine for earth moving operations, comprising a hydraulic travel pump and a hydraulic travel motor. Control is effected according to a specified control profile when a specified driving operation is to be carried out in that an adjustment of the travel pump is carried out which is independent of the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine. This makes it possible to retain, on the one hand, the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine in the case of abrupt stops of movement or changes in the direction of movement and, on the other hand, to adapt the rotational speed of the engine in the case of somewhat longer uninterrupted pauses between two changes in the traveling behavior, wherein comparatively large fluctuations in the rotational speed are avoided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-propelled ground milling machine for treatment of ground surfaces by means of a milling device, a transportation means and a drive device for driving the transportation means and the milling device. The milling device is mounted on a ground milling machine frame and can be switched between a working position, in which the milling device is in operative contact with the ground surface and a maneuvering position, in which the milling device is not in operative contact with the ground surface. The drive device comprises a drive control unit, which controls the driving power of the drive device. The ground milling machine further comprises a ground milling machine control unit.

Abstract: A multipurpose compactor with an automatic safety system is provided. The automatic safety system comprises at least one transmitter and one receiver. The transmitter is coupled mechanically fixed to the multipurpose compactor and/or to a unit movable relative to the multipurpose compactor. The receiver is coupled fixedly to the movable unit and/or the multipurpose compactor.

Abstract: An operating unit for a construction machine, wherein the operating unit is attached to the construction machine so it can be folded or lowered. The operating unit has a touch screen for displaying and inputting. The selection and/or the arrangement and/or the display size of the information panels (14,14?,14?) and the operating panels (15,15?,15?) of the touch screen occurs in a situation-dependent manner.
