Abstract
A control system for an earth moving machine having an earth moving tool is provided. A position detection system provides an indication of a geographical position of the earth moving machine. A tool position sensor provides an indication of a position of the earth moving tool relative to the earth moving machine. A tool force sensor provides an indication of force exerted on the earth moving tool. A controller determines a tool engagement with a work surface at a position indicated by the position detection system based on the indication of the tool position. The controller generates jobsite density information based on the tool engagement and the indication of force exerted on the earth moving tool, the controller being further configured to cause a wireless communication module to provide an indication of the jobsite density for the position indicated by the position detection system to at least one remote device.
