Machine control using real-time model

A computing system on a work machine, comprising:

• a communication system configured to identify a priori, geo-referenced vegetative index data for a worksite;
• an in situ data collection system that collects field data, with a sensor on a machine, as the work machine is performing an operation at the worksite, the field data corresponding to a portion of the worksite;
• a model generator system configured to receive the a priori, geo-referenced vegetative index data and field data and generate a predictive model based on the a priori gco-referenced vegetative index data and the field data, as the work machine is performing the operation at the worksite, using a model generation mechanism the predictive model including predictive values of a characteristic of the worksite;
• and
• a control system that, controls a subsystem of the machine using the, predictive model.

A work machine, comprising:

• a communication system configured to receive geo-referenced vegetative index data for worksite;
• an in situ data collection system configured to collect field data, with a sensor on the work machine, as the work machine is performing an operation at the worksite, for a portion of the worksite;
• a plurality of controllable subsystems;
• a model generator system configured to generate a plurality of different predictive models, based on the geo-referenced vegetative index data and the field data, each corresponding to a different controllable subsystem of the plurality of controllable subsystems of the work machine, the plurality of different predictive models including predictive values of an at least one characteristic of the worksite to be encountered by the work machine;
• and
• a control system that generates control signals to control each of the controllable subsystems using a corresponding predictive model.
