Abstract: A system for controlling an engagement of a material supply machine with a paving machine is provided. The system includes one or more sensor(s) mounted on material supply machine and/or the paving machine and are configured to detect a position and distance of paving machine with respect to material supply machine. The sensor(s) further detect a relative speed between the two machines. A controller autonomously controls speed of material supply machine based on detected relative speed when distance is less than threshold. The speed of material supply machine is controlled to match speed of the paving machine. The controller also autonomously controls steering of material supply machine based on detected position of leading end of paving machine to align material supply machine with leading end of paving machine until the material supply machine engages with leading end of paving machine.

Abstract: A material transfer vehicle includes a material receiving device that is adapted to receive asphalt paving material, and a receiving conveyor that is operatively attached to the material receiving device. The receiving conveyor is driven by a chain drive assembly and includes a chain tension adjustment assembly. The receiving conveyor is pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis so that it can be moved between a transport configuration in which the material receiving device is raised, an intermediate adjustment configuration, and a working configuration in which the material receiving device is lowered. A housing structure encloses protected components and includes an opening adjacent to the protected components. A combination door and platform is attached to the housing structure and is adapted to be moved between a closed configuration that covers the opening and an open configuration that provides access to the protected components, and also provides a platform on which an operator can stand to access the chain tension adjustment assembly.

Abstract: A paving material machine having a frame with an end-to-end tunnel for paving material capacity. The machine also includes an electro-hydraulic drive system using rotary transducers. In a configuration for laying down paving material, the machine has a front hopper for receiving paving material from trucks and a conveyor to transfer paving material rearward through the tunnel. A diverter plate and feed augers are mounted at the rear of the machine to regulate the paving material out of the rear of the tunnel. A lay down screed is located behind the feed augers. In order to improve turning characteristics in a system featuring a positive traction device, the drive system is connected to rotary transducers which measure the direction and degree of wheel turn. Using the input from the rotary transducers, the drive system allows a speed differential between the inside and outside wheels in a turn. In an alternate lay down machine embodiment, a windrow pickup assembly is substituted for the hopper and a pair of tunnel side forms are used in place of the conveyor. The frame having a tunnel and the drive system using rotary transducers may be utilized in a paving material transfer machine or a road widening machine.
