Abstract:
A display system for a paving machine can include a plurality of cameras configured to provide a 360° bird's-eye view of a paving machine and an area surrounding the paving machine; a display operatively coupled to the plurality of cameras showing the 360° bird's-eye view; and a controller coupled to the display, the controller further coupled to a sensor on the paving machine positioned to measure a height of a paving material at one or more locations on the paving machine, wherein when the material height falls below a pre-determined level, the controller sends a warning to the display such that the display shows the 360° bird's-eye view with the material height warning incorporated into the display.
