Abstract

A system and method for generating or updating roads in a travel network of a work site. Telemetry data received from machines operating at the work site is received by a road determination module. The road determination module analyzes the telemetry data to find similar trajectories. The similar trajectories are identified as a road. The route determination module thereafter uses the roads generated or updated to manage the machines at the work site.
