Abstract
A system may comprise a load sensor; a camera; and an electronic control module. The load sensor may configured to detect a load placed on a vehicle that is to travel along a path. The camera may be associated with the vehicle and may be configured to capture an image of the load placed on the vehicle. The electronic control module may configured to receive, from the load sensor, information indicating that the load has been placed on the vehicle, cause the camera to capture the image of the load based on receiving the information indicating that the load has been placed on the vehicle, determine whether the height of the load exceeds a height of a trolley line included in the path, and provide, for display by a display of the vehicle, information indicating whether the height of the load exceeds the height of the trolley line.
