Patent ID: 8356957

Claim:
System for the application of a road surface having (i) a plurality of operational components, each component comprising at least one adjustment parameter, (ii) an open loop control unit for communicating the adjustment parameters to the operation components (iii) a closed loop control unit, which receives measurement quantities, for determining optimum adjustment parameters, achieving at least one specified target value, producing a common data set (u) representing a plurality of optimum adjustment parameters and for communicating this common data set (u) representing a plurality of adjustment parameters to the open loop control unit, and the closed loop control unit having a controller block and a simulation block comprising a neural network or a linear or non-linear model or algorithms from analysis of variants for simulating the values produced from a group of adjustment parameters of the at least one target value, the simulation block being separated from the controller block and linked for bi-directional data communication to the closed loop control unit, and the simulation block, comprising a neural network or a linear or non-linear model or algorithms from analysis of variants tier simulating the values produced from a group of adjustment parameters of the at least one target value.
