1. A positioning entity, comprising:
a memory;
one or more transceivers; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
receive, via the one or more transceivers, motion state information associated with a user equipment (UE), the motion state information indicating constraints on a location of the UE relative to a moveable object with which the UE is associated, wherein the moveable object is not a human;
estimate the location of the UE based on at least the motion state information; and
trigger an alert based on the location of the UE being more than the threshold distance outside of the constraints on the location of the UE relative to the moveable object.
