SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING EARTHMOVING IMPLEMENT POSITION ON A WORK VEHICLE

A work vehicle includes an earthmoving implement configured to move material as the work vehicle travels across a surface within a work site. Additionally, the work vehicle includes a computing system configured to access a cut-fill map associated with the work site, with the cut-fill map depicting the material flow for transforming a current grade of the surface into a target grade of the surface. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine at least one of the target grade of or a direction of the material flow for the surface based on the accessed cut-fill map. In addition, the computing system is configured to control the operation of an actuator to adjust the position of the earthmoving implement relative to a work vehicle frame based on the determined at least one of the target grade or the direction of the material flow.
