Abstract
A mobile machine for operation at a work site having a work surface includes: a frame; a traction device mounted to the frame for moving the mobile machine with respect to the work surface; a surface-engaging implement mounted to the frame, the surface-engaging implement being raisable and lowerable with respect to the frame; a first sensor for providing a machine speed of the mobile machine; a second sensor for providing a machine location of the mobile machine; and a controller storing a three-dimensional site plan associated with the work site that includes at least one keep-out zone. The controller receives the machine speed and the machine location, and, based on the machine speed and the machine location with respect to the at least one keep-out zone, raises the surface-engaging implement and maintains the machine speed; or raises the surface-engaging implement and reduces the machine speed.
