In asphalt road construction, pavement thickness is crucial for both structural integrity and cost-efficiency. Insufficient thickness compromises load-bearing capacity, leading to premature failure, while excessive thickness incurs unnecessary expenses. Uniformity across the pavement layer is equally essential. The existing levelling method, although reliable, has room for enhancement, relying heavily on constant monitoring by paving crews. This study introduces an Advanced Levelling System functioning as a high-level height control system. It incorporates an additional control loop to monitor the rear edge of the screed’s height. To support this expansion, improvements were made to grade and slope sensors, along with the development of new sensors like Super Ski, Line Reader, rear-edge screed height sensor, optimized slope sensor, and layer thickness sensor. Extensive testing was conducted at MOBA Automation AG and TPA GmbH test sites, as well as real construction projects in Bielefeld and Hamburg, Germany. Emphasis was placed on joint paving, precise layer thickness control, superimposed grade control, and scanning the rear edge of the screed from the curb. The system’s ability to respond to rapid changes in paving conditions was assessed using planned disturbance variables. The Advanced Levelling System’s effectiveness was successfully validated. Optimizations in grade and slope control, along with sensor enhancements, ensured precise layer thickness during paving. This system seamlessly transferred many grade and slope control tasks from the paver operator, streamlining the process.
