Abstract:
A method for determining a change in an angle of attack of a screed on a paving machine includes determining a first angle of attack of the screed, determining a second angle of attack of the screed based on data from at least one sensor located on the screed and at least one sensor located on a frame of the paving machine, and determining a change in the angle of attack based on the first angle of attack and the second angle of attack. The method also includes providing a notification of at least one of the first angle of attack, the second angle of attack, or the change in the angle of attack.
