Abstract:
The goal of the theoretical and experimental research activities
presented is to promote a modular system, comprising laser and electro
hydraulic parts, which gives the navvy machines the possibility to perform
land leveling in automatic running [1]. The theoretical research activities
include numerical simulation of the dynamics of the modular system and
implicit mathematical modeling, performed by means of numerical
simulation in AMESim [2]. The experimental identification of the modular
system was performed both in laboratory, on a device that simulates the
actual operating conditions, and on a motorgrader, while performing
leveling work in ”automatic running” [3]. Beside the advantages consisting
in high prercision of leveling works and significant reduction in fuel
consumption and manpower, leveling based on laser position reaction offers
some other advantages in the case of leveling agricultural lands. These
concern efficient utilization of water and diminishing soil compaction.
