Abstract
A system for monitoring a load distribution of an autonomous vehicle is provided. The system includes a processor in communication with a memory device. The processor is configured to receive weight data from a grid of weight sensors disposed on a cargo bed surface of the autonomous vehicle, generate a weight distribution map of the cargo bed surface based on the received weight data, the weight distribution map including an array of weight values, and control operation of the autonomous vehicle based in part on the generated weight distribution map.
