METHOD FOR FORESIGHTED CONTROL OF ROAD FINISHER

摘要

To provide a method for controlling a road finisher with improved energy efficiency.SOLUTION: A road finisher having a primary drive unit M, a material hopper and a paving screed 5 with a screed heating system 7 that can be operated by energy generated by the primary drive unit M is controlled. The screed heating system 7 is operated to heat the screed 5 during paving operation of the road finisher by controlling a temperature of the screed to a predetermined screed operating temperature value or to a predetermined screed operating temperature range. The road finisher anticipates a future operating state of increased energy demand of the road finisher. When a future operating state of increased energy demand has been detected, the screed heating system 7 is operated to heat the screed 5 beyond the predetermined screed operating temperature value or the predetermined screed operating temperature range. When the operating state of increased energy demand is reached, the screed heating system 7 is at least temporarily deactivated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
