Claim 0:
1. A system for updating a virtual worksite, wherein a plurality of construction machines operate on one or more portions defined by the virtual worksite, the system comprising:
a plurality of simulated construction machine controllers, wherein each simulated construction machine controller from the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers is associated with a corresponding construction machine from the plurality of construction machines, and wherein each simulated construction machine controller is configured to collect data indicative of an updated height map of the one or more portions of the virtual worksite on which the corresponding construction machine is operating; and
a central controller communicably coupled to each of the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers, wherein the central controller is configured to:
receive the data indicative of the updated height map of the one or more portions of the virtual worksite from each of the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers;
compare the updated height map of the one or more portions of the virtual worksite with an initial data model of the virtual worksite;
generate an updated data model of the virtual worksite based on the comparison; and
transmit, to at least one of each of the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers and a user interface, the updated data model of the virtual worksite, wherein the user interface is configured to display a real time streaming of data of the virtual worksite thereon.
