1. A method of informing a navigation system of a vehicle of a protrusion, comprising:
- acquiring sensor data from a sensor, wherein the sensor data is based on a position of cargo;
determining a contour of the vehicle;
detecting protruding cargo extending outside the contour of the vehicle, wherein detecting the protruding cargo is based on the sensor data and the contour; and
notifying the navigation system of the vehicle of the protruding cargo.

Abstract
A system for informing a navigation system of a vehicle of a protrusion includes a sensor and a processing circuit. The sensor is configured to generate sensor data based on a position of cargo. The processing circuit is configured to determine a contour of the vehicle, detect protruding cargo extending outside the contour of the vehicle, where detecting the protruding cargo is based on the sensor data and the contour, and notify the navigation system of the vehicle of the protruding cargo.

19. A method of identifying a susceptibility of a vehicle to a size restriction, comprising:
-
acquiring sensor data from a sensor, wherein the sensor data based on a position of cargo; determining a contour of the vehicle; determining a size limit on a route of the vehicle; detecting protruding cargo extending outside the contour of the vehicle, wherein detecting the protruding cargo is based on the sensor data and the contour; generating an updated contour of the vehicle based on the protruding cargo; determining a susceptibility of the vehicle to the size limit based on the updated contour; and notifying a navigation system of the vehicle of the susceptibility of the vehicle to the size limit. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method of identifying a susceptibility of a vehicle approaching a structure to a size restriction of the structure, comprising:
-
acquiring data from a detector configured to detect the vehicle; identifying, with a processing circuit, the vehicle based on the data from the detector; accessing a database to determine a contour of the identified vehicle, wherein the database is configured to store vehicle contour information; comparing the contour of the vehicle to a size limit of the structure; and determining a susceptibility of the vehicle to the size limit based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
