Abstract
Techniques for position-based cross slope control of a construction machine are disclosed. A site design that includes a set of target cross slopes for a construction site is obtained, with each of the set of target cross slopes associated with a 2D location within the construction site. Sensor data is captured using at least one sensor mounted to the construction machine. A geospatial position and a direction of travel of the construction machine are determined based on the sensor data. A target cross slope for the construction machine is generated by querying the site design using the geospatial position and the direction of travel.
