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
