Abstract

A system (150) for controlling movement of a machine (100) is described. The system includes a controller (156) configured to receive a virtual map (200) corresponding to a worksite (104), determine an outline (202) of the virtual map, and generate a polygon (204) based on outline. The controller is configured to segment the polygon into Voronoi regions (212), determine a centerline (222) and centerline branches (218), assign weights (240), and determine all-pair shortest paths. The controller is configured to identify a first longest path (254) between a first exterior vertex (224f) and a second exterior vertex (224c) and a second longest path (256) between a third exterior vertex (224a) and a fourth exterior vertex (224d), pair first exterior vertex with third exterior vertex and second exterior vertex with fourth exterior vertex, identify one of an edge (250a, 250b) as the entry edge (260) and the other edge as the exit edge (262), and control movement of the machine along a longest traversable path between the entry edge and the exit edge.
