Cargo-based vehicle control

A computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory computer readable storage mediums, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage mediums, wherein the stored program instructions are executed by a processor to perform a method of:

• receiving output from a cargo sensor and a camera on a first cargo vehicle, wherein the output from the cargo sensor and the camera describes an amount of movement of cargo being transported by the first cargo vehicle;
• determining an amount of cargo shifting that the cargo has experienced based on an analysis of pictures from the cargo camera;
• determining that the cargo has shifted beyond a predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle based on the output from the cargo sensor and the pictures from the cargo camera;
• receiving output from vehicle sensors on the first cargo vehicle, wherein the output from the vehicle sensors describes a movement of the first cargo vehicle;
• determining that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle;
• and
• transmitting instructions to a second cargo vehicle to adjust operations of 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.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer readable memories, and one or more non-transitory computer readable storage mediums, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer readable memories, the stored program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to receive output from a cargo sensor and a camera on a first cargo vehicle, wherein the output from the cargo sensor and the camera describes an amount of movement of cargo being transported by the first cargo vehicle;
• program instructions to determine an amount of cargo shifting that the cargo has experienced based on an analysis of pictures from the cargo camera;
• program instructions to determine that the cargo has shifted beyond a predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle based on the output from the cargo sensor and the pictures from the cargo camera;
• program instructions to receive output from vehicle sensors on the first cargo vehicle, wherein the output from the vehicle sensors describes a movement of the first cargo vehicle;
• program instructions to determine that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle;
• and
• program instructions to transmit instructions to a second cargo vehicle to adjust operations of 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.
