Zusammenfassung:	A system for controlling the production of an asphalt mix. The preferred system comprises an asphaltic material source, an asphaltic material sensor, a liquid asphalt cement source, a liquid asphalt cement meter, and a controller. The asphaltic material sensor communicates the amount of asphaltic material liquid asphalt cement and the amount of asphaltic material moisture contained in the amount of asphaltic material to the controller, the liquid asphalt cement meter communicates the amount of liquid asphalt cement provided by the liquid asphalt cement source to the controller, and the controller controls the amount of asphaltic material provided by the asphaltic material source and the amount of the liquid asphalt cement provided by the liquid asphalt cement source. A method comprising controlling the amount of asphaltic material and the amount of liquid asphalt cement provided to the asphalt mix substantially continuously and substantially in real time.
