[0002] Traditional double-drum roller compaction operations rely on manual experience, resulting in uneven compaction, low efficiency, susceptibility to over- or under-compaction, difficulty in precise steering control, and insufficient response to material temperature changes. To address these issues, this invention proposes an automatic control system for double-drum rollers based on a microcontroller core. This system uses an accelerometer to detect drum vibration in real time and analyzes the compaction degree. Combined with speed and temperature sensor signals, as well as attitude and position information provided by a positioning / angular displacement module, the control module comprehensively analyzes and processes the data, ultimately outputting control commands to adjust the roller's excitation frequency and amplitude, travel speed, number of compaction passes, and steering, achieving automated and precise control of the compaction process and displaying the working status in real time.
