Abstract

One or more processors receive data associated with delivery of a package to a delivery drop-off area. The data includes delivery history of the drop-off area, current and predicted weather conditions, customer profile data, and package content information. The one or more processors detect surface conditions of the delivery drop-off area. The one or more processors determine a hazardous condition for retrieval of a delivered package in the delivery drop-off area, based on the images and sensor data received from the delivery vehicle and processed by one or more machine learning models. The one or more processors perform actions to mitigate the hazardous condition at the delivery drop-off area, and the one or more processors provide a notification updating the hazardous condition in the delivery drop-off area and the at least one mitigating action taken.
