Abstract
The disclosure is directed towards a system for compacting a work area. The system includes a compactor, a first compaction sensor positioned on a forward end of the compactor, a second compaction sensor positioned on a rearward end of the compactor, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a first compaction data associated with the work area from the first compaction sensor. The controller is further configured to determine a first compaction effort based on the first compaction data and control the compactor to perform compaction with the determined first compaction effort. The controller is configured to receive a second compaction data associated with a compacted first portion from the second compaction sensor and determine a variance between the first and the second compaction data. Furthermore, the controller is configured to determine a correlation between the variance and the first compaction effort to determine a second compaction effort.
