System and method for dumping material

Abstract:

A method for depositing a pile of material by a machine at a worksite. The method includes determining, by a controller, a volume of material transported by the machine. The method further includes determining, by the controller, at least one parameter associated with the pile to be formed by the determined volume based on a comparison of the determined volume with a threshold volume and operating the machine to deposit the determined volume to form the pile, on a working surface of the worksite, based on the at least one parameter.
