An implement management system detects implement wear and monitors implement states to modify operating modes of a vehicle. The system can determine implement wear using the pull of the implement on the vehicle, the force and angle of which is represented by an orientation vector. The system may measure a current orientation vector and determine an expected orientation vector using sensors and a model (e.g., a machine learned model). Additionally, the implement management system can determine an implement state based on images of the soil and the implement captured by a camera onboard the vehicle during operation. The system may apply different models to the images to determine a likely state of the implement. The difference between the expected and current orientation vectors or the determined implement state may be used to determine whether and how the vehicle's operating mode should be modified. - 56- Receive operational information including one or more of a predefined routine of a vehicle pulling an implement, vehicle worksite 4 parameters, machinery state parameters, or machinery trajectory parameters _ _,_, Determine a current orientation vector of the implement based on the operational information 1 Apply an orientation prediction model to the operational information to determine an expected orientation vector 54Differ en 1ce: 5)between current orientation No vector and expected orientation vector exceeds a threshold angle?
