Abstract
In some implementations, a liquid dispersal system of a compactor machine may obtain configuration information that indicates a quantity of rotations of a compaction element of the compactor machine in association with a dispersal cycle and that indicates a percentage of the dispersal cycle. The liquid dispersal system may determine, based on the configuration information and sensor information, a first time interval of the dispersal cycle and a second time interval of the dispersal cycle. The liquid dispersal system may cause activation of one or more liquid pumps of the liquid dispersal system in accordance with the first time interval. The liquid dispersal system may cause inactivation of the one or more liquid pumps in accordance with the second time interval.
