1. A computer-implemented method for managing a worksite, the method comprising operating a processing unit to:
- access a plurality of incident messages, each incident message comprising data relating to the worksite;
generate a plurality of event objects, each event object comprising event information defining an event with respect to the worksite, wherein the event information of an event object comprises one of;
automatically refined event information generated by operating the processing unit to automatically refine an incident message;
operator refined event information generated by operating the processing unit to refine an incident message using message refinement data received from an operator; and
synthetic event information generated by operating the processing unit to generate new event information;
process said plurality of event objects to generate a plurality of state objects, each state object being based on one or more event objects and comprising state information describing a state with respect to the worksite;
process said plurality of state objects to generate a plurality of situation objects, each situation object comprising situation information defining a situation in the worksite, said situation being estimated based on state information of a plurality of objects; and
process said plurality of situation objects to generate a plurality of worksite impact objects, each worksite impact object comprising impact information defining an impact on the worksite, the impact being estimated based on one or more of the situations comprised in the plurality of situation objects.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing a worksite is described. The method involves generating event objects comprising event information with respect to the worksite, processing said event objects to generate state objects describing states with respect to the worksite, processing said state objects to generate situation objects defining situations in the worksite; and process said situation objects to generate worksite impact objects estimating impacts on the worksite.
