Abstract
A method for operating a machine on a worksite is disclosed. The method includes detecting a forward worksite condition and a rearward worksite condition relative to the machine, respectively by a first image capturing module and a second image capturing module. Thereafter, the method includes determination of a measure of effect of the machine on the worksite by comparing the rearward worksite condition with the forward worksite condition. The measure of effect is one of a deviation of an actual machine path with a baseline operational path or an impression left by the machine on the worksite. Finally, controlling one or more parameters related to a movement of the machine over the worksite, based on the measure of effect, is carried out.
