GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION MACHINES
A guidance system for a machine includes one or more guide assemblies. Each guide assembly includes a support member, a lever, an abutment device, a sensor, and a controller. The support member is fixedly coupled to a frame of the machine. The lever is angularly biased away with respect to the support member. The abutment device is coupled to the lever is configured to be abutted and guided on a structure extending along a direction in which the machine moves to modify a roadway surface. The sensor detects a measured angle between the lever and the support member when the abutment device is abutted against the structure. The controller controls an actuation of a steering actuator associated with one or more traction devices of the machine to turn the traction devices based on the measured angle to modify the roadway surface along an extent of the structure.
