Mat Coasting Enablement for Asphalt Compactor - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17751901 titled 'Mat Coasting Enablement for Asphalt Compactor

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a compactor for use on a surface, such as a road or construction site.

  • The compactor includes a frame and at least one compacting drum that is connected to the frame.
  • It also has a drive system that can accelerate and decelerate the compactor.
  • The compactor is controlled by a controller, which can adjust the acceleration and deceleration rates based on at least one variable.

This innovation in compactors allows for more precise control over the compactor's speed and movement, potentially improving efficiency and effectiveness in compacting surfaces.


Original Abstract Submitted

A compactor for operation on a surface includes: a frame; at least one compacting drum coupled to the frame; a drive system for accelerating and decelerating the compactor at an acceleration rate and a deceleration rate, respectively; and a controller for: controlling the drive system, and based on at least one variable, altering at least one of the acceleration rate and the deceleration rate.
