Smart Solutions for Asphalt Paving
Precise, fast, and safe installation, digital documentation: at the 2025 Bauma, Joseph Vögele AG showcased the automatic steering and width control system AutoTrac, the Smart Pave digital control system, the digital Wirtgen Group Performance Tracker Paving and the RoadScan temperature measurement system. To make life easier for users, increase work safety, and boost efficiency, Vögele automates numerous control functions of the Dash 5 generation. With the AutoTrac automatic steering and width control system, users can automatically control width and direction using various sensors and physical references. In addition to the Steering Control automated steering system, the fixed screed width, and the Edge Control stringline follower, the new Edge Detection edge follower is also one of the AutoTrac solutions. It automatically controls the screed width based on an edge. Among other things, the associated laser sensor recognizes curbs, gutters, or cut edges with a profile of at least 2 cm and uses them as a reference. This creates a precisely fitting edge that saves material. It also reduces the workload of screed operators. Vögele introduced Smart Pave the next level of automation: the integrated system controls the pave width, position, and direction of the paver fully automatically using virtual references. Smart Pave uses installation geometries that have been stored in the digital platform, John Deere Operations Center™. After an automatic plausibility check, the data can be easily transferred to the road paver. The StarFire dual antenna system from John Deere is permanently installed on the roof, determines the exact position of the paver and ensures high-precision control. “Smart Pave is an extremely user-friendly solution with a big impact,” said Bastian Fleischer, head of Product Management at Vögele. “All hardware components are integrated into the road paver, so users don't have to do any assembly work. Data handling is simple, transparent, and leads to the desired result thanks to automatic error analysis.”
The automated control system saves time-consuming marking work, reduces the workload for users, and increases the safety of screed operators and process reliability during paving. Smart Pave is particularly suitable for the construction of rural and national roads as well as motorways. With the Wirtgen Performance Tracker (WPT) Paving, Vögele also enables precise paving and construction site documentation. The system uses basic paving data such as section length, layer width, layer thickness, and material density to calculate the amount of material already laid. Material deliveries can be recorded quickly and easily. Additional relevant data such as CO2 emissions and fuel consumption can be mapped. As with Smart Pave and all digital solutions from the Wirtgen Group, the central platform is the John Deere Operations Center™: Installers and operators can call up the data there and efficiently network, coordinate, and analyze work steps. In combination with WPT Milling and WPT Compacting, you can document and view the entire milling, paving, and compacting process. In order to document installation temperatures even more comprehensively and precisely, Vögele has also developed the new RoadScan temperature measurement system for the Dash 5 generation. The measuring width of the temperature sensor has been increased by 3 m to up to 13 m compared to the previous model, with better resolution. As the new RoadScan utilizes the StarFire dual antenna system from WPT Paving, an additional GPS receiver is no longer required. For this reason the housing accommodates only the sensor and is significantly smaller, lighter and easier to mount.
