1. A soil distribution planning system comprising:
a grid-model generation module configured to receive information about three-dimensional (3D) topography, ground and a target model and generate a 3D grid model by dividing a target area;
an earthwork-volume calculation module configured to calculate an earthwork volume of each grid in the 3D grid model generated by the grid-model generation module and store the calculated earthwork volume in a database; and
an earthwork-volume distribution module configured to distribute an earthwork volume of a cutting area to a banking area based on the earthwork volume stored in the database,
wherein the earthwork-volume distribution module comprises a grid selection engine configured to select a grid, which has a highest elevation in a cutting area, as a supplying cell for distributing the earthwork volume from the cutting area to the banking area.
