Abstract

A method, system, and/or computer program product controls operations of a vehicle based on a condition of cargo being transported. One or more processors receive output from a camera on a first cargo vehicle, wherein the output from the camera describes a movement of cargo caused by movement of the first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) determine, based on the output from the camera, that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused cargo in the first cargo vehicle to shift beyond a predetermined amount, and transmit instructions to a second cargo vehicle to adjust initial cargo loading operations on the second cargo vehicle based on determining that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle.
