Abstract

A ground compaction sensing system for a work machine includes a chassis, a ground-engaging mechanism coupled to the chassis, and an attachment movably coupled to the chassis. Multiple sensors are configured to generate a chassis angle signal, an attachment angle signal, an attachment spacing signal, and a location signal. The controller has a non-transitory computer readable medium with a program instruction to grade a surface. The program instructions when executed cause a processor of the controller to receive the aforementioned signals and determine an as-built grade of the surface based on an attachment reference point at a first location of the location signal; and a compaction value when a chassis reference point reaches the first location as the work machine traverses across the surface. The program instructions may then include modifying movement of the attachment based on the compaction value.
