Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for monitoring cargo that is loaded onto a vehicle. One or more sensors are positioned and configured to scan the cargo unit. Signals from the sensors are transmitted through a communication network to a control unit. The control unit determines a three-dimensional shape of the cargo unit based on the signals from the sensors. The control unit can also determine other aspects about the loading and unloading process to increase the efficiency.
