Abstract
A first process acquires a boundary position between a work area and a dumping area. A second process acquires a current position of a work machine. A third process controls the work machine so as to form a berm that acts as a wheel stop by raising a work implement from a position, the position being away from the boundary position toward the work area by a predetermined distance, when the work machine is traveling from the work area toward the dumping area.
