# Systems and methods for maintaining object flow in trailer unloading systems

## Abstract

An object processing system for removing objects from a trailer of a tractor trailer includes a collection conveyance system for moving objects from within the trailer and providing the objects to an output conveyor of the collection conveyor system that leads to an object processing facility, a perception system for providing perception data regarding at least a portion of the collection conveyance system, a processing system for identifying whether the collection conveyance system is experiencing traffic with regard to passage of objects along the collection conveyance system, and a traffic remediation system for determining an action for an end-effector to take to remedy the traffic with regard to passage of objects along the collection conveyance system.
