1. A method for controlling fluid delivery on a site using at least one fluid delivery machine, the method performed by a worksite computing system and comprising:
- identifying, by a processor associated with a controller, at least one path on the site based on map information associated with the site;
calculating, by the processor, a fluid delivery requirement of the at least one path based on environmental information associated with the site and a desired fluid level of the at least one path;
dispatching, by the processor, a fluid delivery machine on a mission to treat the at least one path with fluid based on the fluid delivery requirement; and
treating, by the fluid delivery machine, the at least one path with fluid based on the fluid delivery requirement, wherein the fluid delivery machine comprises an autonomous mobile machine.

12. A fluid delivery system for controlling fluid delivery on a site using at least one fluid delivery machine, the system comprising:
-
a communication device for communicating with the at least one fluid delivery machine; a map database storing map information associated with the site; a device for providing environmental information associated with the site; and a controller configured to; identify at least one path on the site based on the map information; calculate a fluid delivery requirement of the at least one path based on the environmental information and a desired fluid level of the at least one path; send, via the communication device and based on the fluid delivery requirement, a signal to dispatch a fluid delivery machine on a fluid delivery mission to treat the at least one path with fluid; and the fluid delivery machine, configured to treat the at least one path with fluid based the fluid delivery requirement, wherein the fluid delivery machine comprises an autonomous mobile machine. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A fluid delivery system for controlling fluid delivery on a site using a plurality of fluid delivery machines, the system comprising:
-
a communication device for communicating with the plurality of fluid delivery machines; a map database containing map information associated with the site; a site database containing usage information associated with the site; an environmental database containing environmental information associated with the site; and a controller configured to; identify a plurality of paths on the site based on the map information; calculate fluid delivery requirements of the plurality of paths based on the environmental information and on the usage information; determine a route including at least some of the paths based on the fluid delivery requirements and on the usage information; select a fluid delivery machine among the plurality of fluid delivery machines; transmit, to the selected fluid delivery machine via the communication device, fluid delivery mission instructions identifying the paths of the route and allocated fluid delivery amounts for the paths; and the selected fluid delivery machine, configured to treat the at least one path with fluid based on the fluid delivery mission instructions. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
