Abstract

A system for positioning a working apparatus of a road construction machine, where first and second areas are located forward and rearward, respectively, of the working apparatus. A positioning system includes a controller for changing a position or orientation of the working apparatus. A computer system receives and processes topographical data collected by sensors for points of interest in the first area to generate a first plane equation for a first plane containing at least three of the points of interest. By comparing the first plane equation with an initial position, the computer system determines a second position where the working apparatus can change the road surface from a first state to a second state. The computer system generates instructions for changing a position or orientation of the working apparatus from the initial position to the second position, and the controller executes those instructions.
