A METHOD OF OPERATING A WORK MACHINE ON A WORKSITE WITH A PARTICULAR SURFACE PROFILE

摘要

A surveying device is operated to measure a surface profile of a terrain of a worksite and generate surface profile data. Machine operational data is stored and associated with at least one gradient characteristic. A processing unit is operated to process the surface profile data to identify an area of the terrain and a gradient characteristic of the area and retrieve machine operational data associated with the gradient characteristic from the database and associate the machine operational data with the area. The work machine is operated in the area based upon the machine operational data.
