Abstract
A compactor machine may include a frame, a compaction member attached to the frame, and a controller attached to the frame. The controller may be configured to detect, while the compactor machine is traveling on a paving material mat to perform compacting, an event that is to cause the compactor machine to perform a stop. The controller may be configured to identify, based on detecting the event, a zone that the compactor machine is to use to perform the stop. The controller may be configured to cause the compactor machine to travel to the zone to perform the stop.
