Abstract
A controller obtains topographical data indicative of the topography of a work site. The controller obtains material data indicative of the position of a material. The controller computes an evaluation function based on the material data for each of a plurality of candidates of the travel path to be decided from the topographical data. The evaluation function includes a material function pertaining to an amount of the material. The controller decides a candidate having a smallest evaluation function of the plurality of candidates as the travel path.
