System and method for geofence based cycle time determination

A method, comprising:

• recording, by a processor of a computing device, a plurality of position transitions of a first vehicle of a plurality of vehicles each in a column of a data structure, wherein the plurality of position transitions are associated with travel of the first vehicle between a machine and a material plant;
• finding, by the processor, a first checkpoint comprising a non-nearest pair of position transitions corresponding to exiting and entering a first geofence associated with the machine, the first geofence comprising a first boundary;
• finding, by the processor, a second checkpoint comprising a nearest pair of position transitions corresponding to entering and exiting a second geofence associated with the material plant, the second geofence comprising a second boundary that is outside of the first boundary;
• determining, by the processor, that a time difference between the position transitions of the second checkpoint is less than an expected time;
• marking, by the processor, the position transitions of the second checkpoint in corresponding columns of the data structure;
• determining, by the processor, a vehicle cycle time for the first vehicle based on time differences between position transitions in the data structure excluding the marked position transitions;
• and
• controlling, by the processor and based on the vehicle cycle time, the first vehicle and a second vehicle of the plurality of vehicles to travel between the machine and the material plant.
