Claim 10:
11. A method for updating a virtual worksite, wherein a plurality of construction machines operate on one or more portions defined by the virtual worksite, the method comprising:
collecting, by each simulated construction machine controller from a plurality of simulated construction machine controllers, data indicative of an updated height map of the one or more portions of the virtual worksite on which a corresponding construction machine from the plurality of construction machines is operating;
receiving, by a central controller, 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;
comparing, by the central controller, the updated height map of the one or more portions of the virtual worksite with an initial data model of the virtual worksite;
generating, by the central controller, an updated data model of the virtual worksite based on the comparison; and
transmitting, by the central controller 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.
