How it works on your site

The BOMAG ROBOMAG is a diesel-powered tandem roller platform built in two variants (BW 154 for asphalt, BW 177 for soil) as a technology study for autonomous compaction subsystems, developed with the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. It covers compaction across earthmoving and road paving, with the Emergency Brake Assist subsystem in full production since September 2024 and Stage 1 radio remote control available as a factory option. The ROBOMAG remains classified as a prototype; full autonomous compaction has not been demonstrated outside trade shows.

Earthmoving

Compaction

The operator draws a geofence on a laptop to set the area the BW154 compacts, and GPS keeps the roller inside it while four proximity sensors on the front, back and both sides stop it for people and obstacles. The operator loads and unloads the roller with a two-joystick remote and can drive it with the same remote mid-job. The BW154 is a prototype.

Road Construction & Paving

Compaction (Rolling Train)

As the BW154 rolls an asphalt layer, BOMAG's Asphalt Manager reads material stiffness through two accelerometers and sets the compactive force for the layer thickness the operator selects. The roller switches vibration on or off as the stiffness builds, and the compaction record prints on board or goes to an Android tablet for the paving crew.
