Abstract:
A method for depositing piles of material, by a machine, in a work zone of a worksite. The method comprising detecting, by a controller, a first area occupied by a first pile deposited in the work zone, determining, by the controller, an available area in the work zone based on a comparison of the first area with an area of the work zone, determining, by the controller, a remaining number of piles to be deposited in the available area based on the determination of the available area, determining, by the controller, a location for each pile of the remaining number of piles to be deposited in the available area such that each pile of the remaining number of piles are evenly spaced from each other; and generating, by the controller, a machine signal to operate the machine to form the remaining number of piles at the respective determined location.
