Abstract: The aim of the work was to compare the operation of the proprietary intelligent compaction (IC) system for two types of machines: a vibrating rammer and a plate compactor. The tests were carried out for both types of machines on the field stand, using the analysis of the vibroacoustic signal received from the acceleration sensor located directly on the machine. The developed system allowed to determine the correlation of the parameters Q1 and Q2 with the degree of compaction of the studied soil. These parameters were also compared with commonly used (CMV and CCV) by leading manufacturers of compaction machines.
