    Abstract: A system includes a sensor array that generates movement data of a vehicle and location data indicative of vehicle locations. A controller obtains motion profiles of the vehicle that are based on previous movements of the vehicle. The motion profiles represent sequences of previous movements performed while the vehicle picked up or dropped off objects. The controller monitors the data generated by the sensor array and compares the data with the motion profiles, and determines whether the vehicle picked up or dropped off an object based on a match between the sensor data and the motion profiles. The controller also determines a location of the object where the object was picked up or dropped off based on the match between the sensor data and the motion profiles.
