1. A method comprising:
determining, based at least on a first safety procedure associated with a machine, a first projected trajectory of the machine;
determining, based at least on one or more second safety procedures associated with one or more objects, one or more second projected trajectories associated with the one or more objects;
determining whether there is an intersection between the first projected trajectory and at least a second projected trajectory of the one or more second projected trajectories; and
performing one or more operations by the machine based at least on the determining whether there is the intersection.
