Abstract

See full text

A compaction system and a method for determining decoupling of a roller from a work material are disclosed. The compaction system includes a roller configured to compact a work material through rolling engagement with the work material. The compaction system also includes a propulsion device configured to propel the roller along the work material, a power source operatively coupled to the propulsion device, a sensor configured to generate a signal that is indicative of a power potential from the power source, and a controller operatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to receive the signal from the sensor, determine a first variance for a first time duration of the signal, determine a second variance for a second time duration of the signal, and determine the roller is decoupled from the work material based on at least one of the first variance and the second variance.
