Abstract
A work machine includes a work machine actuator, a position sensor configured to sense a geographic position of the work machine on a worksite and a control system configured to receive an indication of a thematic map of the worksite that maps variable values to different geographic locations on the worksite, generate a set of clusters based on the variable values and a geospatial control zone constraint, identify, based on the set of clusters, a plurality of control zones that are correlated to the worksite and have associated setting values, and generate control signals to control the work machine actuator based on the geographic position of the work machine relative to the plurality of control zones and the setting values associated with the control zones.
