ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for planning an alternate path in response to detection of an obstacle by a mobile machine at a work site. The work site includes a fleet of mobile machines and a fleet manager. The method includes the steps of determining the presence and location of an obstacle in a primary path of the mobile machine, determining an alternate path around the obstacle, and delivering a signal to the fleet manager with the location of the obstacle and the alternate path.
