1. A work assistance system used with a work machine powered by an engine as a power source to travel in a field, the work assistance system comprising:
an estimation unit that estimates, at least based on a magnitude of a load of the engine, presence of an occurrence of a target event associated with a change in the load;
an output unit that outputs output data according to an estimation result of the estimation unit; and
a control unit that controls the work machine,
wherein the output unit initiates transmission of the output data to the control unit to control operation of the engine, based on the transmitted output data, at a time prior to the occurrence of the target event.
