Abstract

See full text

A compacting machine includes a frame supporting a compacting member and a monitoring system. The monitoring system includes a sensor, a computer-readable medium bearing a compacting member monitoring program, a controller, and an interface device in communication with the controller. The sensor is arranged with the compacting member to sense a parameter of its ground-engaging surface and to generate a surface parameter signal indicative of the parameter. The controller is in communication with the sensor to receive the surface parameter signal therefrom and is configured to execute the compacting member monitoring program. The compacting member monitoring program is configured to determine whether a piece of the material being compacted becomes adhered to the ground-engaging surface based upon the surface parameter signal satisfying a condition and to produce, through the interface device, an indicator alerting the operator once the surface parameter signal satisfies the condition.
