Cold planer material transport management system

A management system for a cold planer and a plurality of haul vehicles configured to transport milled material from the cold planer to a plant, the management system comprising:

• one or more sensors located onboard the cold planer and configured to generate data regarding at least one of cold planer operating parameters and milled material transferred from the cold planer to the plurality of haul vehicles;
• a locating device configured to generate a signal indicative of a cold planer location;
• a communication device configured to transfer information from the cold planer to the plant;
• and
• a controller in electronic communication with the one or more sensors and the locating device and configured to:
• determine a rate of material transfer from the cold planer to the plurality of haul vehicles based on the data;
• transmit the rate of material transfer and the cold planer location to the plant via the communication device;
• and
• a second controller of the plant in communication with the controller of the cold planer via the communication device, wherein the controller of the plant is configured to determine a first dispatch signal based on one or more of the rate of material transfer, a calculated amount of material yet to be milled, and the cold planer location.
