Abstract:
A system for controlling at least one machine at a work site includes a controller configured to store a map of a boundary of a work area at the work site. The controller determines a first arrival time for a first machine to arrive at the boundary and a second arrival time for a second machine to arrive at the boundary. An arrival interval is determined based upon a difference between the first arrival time and the second arrival time the relative travel speed between the first machine and the second machine is adjusted so that the machines arrive at a desired arrival interval.
