Abstract
A system for controlling operation of at least one machine at a worksite includes controls operable under the control of a first entity to operate a first machine to perform one or more tasks at the worksite. The system may also include a portable communication device having a user interface operable to receive a machine-stop command from a second entity. The portable communication device may be operable to transmit a machine-stop signal in response to receiving the machine-stop command from the second entity. The system may also include at least one information processor configured to stop the first machine in response to the transmission of the machine-stop signal from the portable communication device.
