A method of determining work zones (334,336,338, 340, 342) includes receiving
work site data, determining an actual
site model (112) based on the
work site data, determining a desired
site model (114), and comparing the actual
site model (112) to the desired site model (114) to determine a
work plan, the
work plan having work stages including a first work stage and a second work stage. The method further includes determining a first
work zone (334, 336, 338, 340, 342) of the first work stage of the
work plan, including a first plurality of work locations (302, 304, 306, 308, 312), and determining a second
work zone (334, 336, 338, 340, 342) of the second work stage of the work plan, including a second plurality of work locations (302, 304, 306, 308, 312). The method further includes determining a
safety zone (334, 336, 338, 340, 342), and determining a sequence for performing work for at least one of the first
work zone (334, 336, 338, 340, 342), the first work locations (302,304,306, 308, 312), the second work zone (334, 336, 338, 340, 342), or the second work locations (302, 304, 306, 308, 312) based on the
safety zone (334, 336, 338, 340, 342).
