Abstract
A system for determining a lowest cost distal end dump location is provided. A controller determines an amount of material to be moved from the first work area to the second work area, and evaluates a plurality of potential distal end dump locations at the second work area to determine a cost associated with moving the material at the second work area to form each second work area material configuration and select a lowest cost distal end dump location corresponding to a lowest cost second work area material configuration.
