System and method for generating work plan for autonomous operation of compactor

A method for generating a work plan for autonomous operation of a compactor in tandem with an earthmoving machine, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a first controller associated with the earthmoving machine, information pertaining to a work area on which the earthmoving machine is required to perform at least one operation;
• receiving, by a central controller, information pertaining to the work area on which the earthmoving machine is required to perform the at least one operation from the first controller, the central controller is coupled in communication with the first controller;
• analyzing, by the central controller, the work area for virtually segmenting the work area into a plurality of virtual work areas based on a receipt of the information pertaining to the work area;
• receiving, by the central controller, data indicative of a movement of the earthmoving machine through each of the plurality of virtual work areas from the first controller;
• determining, by the central controller, an optimal direction of movement for the compactor on at least one virtual work area from the plurality of virtual work areas based on the data indicative of the movement of the earthmoving machine, such that the compactor is configured to move along the optimal direction of movement during the autonomous operation of the compactor, the optimal direction being generated by taking into consideration the movement patterns of the earthmoving machine, and by taking into consideration the geometry of the work area including determining an orientation of passes of the earthmoving machine;
• generate, by the central controller, a virtual fence around the at least one virtual work area from the plurality of virtual work areas based on generation of the optimal direction of movement for the compactor;
• transmit, by the central controller, information pertaining to the optimal direction of movement to the compactor when the earthmoving machine is outside the virtual fence generated around the at least one virtual work area;
• and
• control, by the central controller, the compactor to move in the optimal direction.
