Abstract:
A method for paving wherein the paving operator or a person in the vicinity of the paver remotely controls the flow of paving material from a dump truck into the hopper of the paver.

Claim (Index 10):
A dump truck, comprising:\n a load bed mounted on the dump truck and moveable between a generally lower horizontal position and a raised inclined position; a hydraulic cylinder connected to said load bed for raising and lowering the load bed; a hydraulic system for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid to said hydraulic cylinder and for raising and lowering the load bed, the hydraulic system including:\n a hydraulic pump for pumping the hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic fluid source; \n a hydraulic control valve operatively interconnected between said hydraulic pump and said hydraulic cylinder; \n said hydraulic control valve configured to assume a first position that causes the load bed to rise and a second position which causes the load bed to be lowered; \n a pneumatic system disposed on the dump truck and configured to control said hydraulic system and the raising or lowering of the load bed, the pneumatic system including:\n a compressed air source on the dump truck; \n a pneumatic actuator including a first compressed air input and a second compressed air input; \n a directional control valve operatively interconnected between the compressed air source and the pneumatic actuator for controlling the flow of compressed air to said pneumatic actuator;\n said directional control valve configured to assume first and second positions wherein in said first position, compressed air is directed from said compressed air source to the first compressed air input of said pneumatic actuator, and in said second position, compressed air is directed from said compressed air source to the second compressed air input of the pneumatic actuator; \n wherein said pneumatic actuator is configured to actuate said hydraulic control valve by shifting said hydraulic control valve between said first and second positions, resulting in the load bed being raised or lowered; and \n \n a receiver mounted on said dump truck and operatively connected to said directional control valve of said pneumatic system and configured to actuate said directional control valve in response to receiving wireless commands from a remote transmitter.
