    Abstract: A system for generating a work plan for autonomous operation of a compactor in tandem with an earthmoving machine includes a first controller that receives information pertaining to a work area on which the earthmoving machine is required to perform at least one operation. The system also includes a central controller that receives, from the first controller, information pertaining to the work area on which the earthmoving machine is required to perform the at least one operation and analyzes the work area for virtually segmenting the work area into a plurality of virtual work areas. The central controller also receives, from the first controller, data indicative of a movement of the earthmoving machine through each virtual work area from the plurality of virtual work areas and determines an optimal direction of movement for the compactor based on the data indicative of the movement of the earthmoving machine.
