Abstract
A controller acquires a target design surface, at least a portion of which is located above an actual topography. The controller acquires a position of a main body of a work machine. The controller acquires a position of a work implement. The controller causes the work machine to travel forward while controlling the work implement in accordance with the target design surface. The controller acquires a height difference between the target design surface and a predetermined portion of the main body. The controller determines whether there is any more earth held by the work implement based on the height difference.
