Compaction system including articulated joint force measurement
A compaction system includes a first frame; a second frame coupled to the first frame via an articulated joint; a first propulsion device operatively coupled to the first frame via a first propulsion motor, the first propulsion device being configured to propel the compaction system over a work surface in response to a power applied by the first propulsion motor; a compaction drum operatively coupled to the second frame, the compaction drum being configured to compact the work surface via rolling engagement with the work surface; a force sensor configured and arranged to generate a signal that is indicative of a propulsion force transmitted through the articulated joint; and a controller operatively coupled to the force sensor. The controller is configured to determine compaction performance of the compaction system against the work surface based at least in part on the signal from the force sensor.
