  • System and method for updating virtual worksite
    Patent number: 11906981
    Abstract: A system for updating a virtual worksite includes a plurality of simulated construction machine controllers associated with a corresponding construction machine. Each simulated construction machine controller collects data indicative of an updated height map of one or more portions of the virtual worksite on which the corresponding construction machine is operating. A central controller receives the data indicative of the updated height map of the one or more portions of the virtual worksite from the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers and compares the received data with an initial data model of the virtual worksite. The central controller generates an updated data model of the virtual worksite based on the comparison and transmits the updated data model of the virtual worksite to each of the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers and/or a user interface. The user interface displays a real time streaming of data of the virtual worksite thereon.
