1. A computer-implemented method for determining a worksite machine requires refuelling, the method comprising:

  • operating a processing unit to access incident message information, said incident message information selected from a group comprising;

    reported operational state information with respect to the worksite machine;

    reported payload information with respect to the worksite machine;

    reported cycle information with respect to the worksite machine;

    reported position information with respect to the worksite machine; and

    reported fuel information with respect to the worksite machine;

    operating said processing unit to access known worksite information selected from a group comprising;

    known machine parameter information with respect to the worksite machine;

    known assignment information with respect to the worksite machine;

    known route information with respect to one or more routes to be travelled by the worksite machine; and

    known production plan information;

    operating said processing unit to process said incident message information and said known worksite information to generate state information, said state information selected from a group comprising;

    fuel level state information in respect of the worksite machine;

    surface state information in respect of the worksite;

    operational state state information in respect of the worksite machine;

    position state information in respect of the worksite machine;

    payload state information in respect of the worksite machine;

    path state information in respect of the worksite machine; and

    operating hours state information in respect of the worksite machine;

    operating said processing unit to process said state information and said known worksite information to generate situation information, said situation information selected from a group comprising;

    fuel usage situation information with respect to the worksite machine;

    current location situation information with respect to the worksite machine;

    current load state situation information with respect to the worksite machine; and

    destination situation information with respect to the worksite machine;

    operating said processing unit to process said situation information and said known worksite information to determine that the worksite machine has insufficient fuel to complete the tasks currently assigned to the worksite machine.
