A system comprises a fleet of autonomous vehicles, a terminal, and an autonomous freight network (AFN) management device. The AFN management device receives information indicating that an autonomous vehicle is inbound to the terminal. The AFN management device determines locations of objects within the terminal based on sensor data. The AFN management device determines landing instructions indicating to avoid the locations of objects detected from the sensor data. The AFN management device communicates the landing instructions to the autonomous vehicle. A control device associated with the autonomous vehicle determines a route to reach a landing pad within the terminal based on the landing instructions. The control device instructs the autonomous vehicle to travel along the route.
