Techniques for managing shape memory alloy actuators is described. An example system includes a shape memory alloy (SMA)-actuator configured to cause opening of a compartment included in the vehicle, with the SMA-actuator including a wire formed from an SMA material, and with the wire being configured to be adjusted in position or orientation based on a temperature of the wire. The system further includes a controller, the controller being in communication with one or more sensors, with the sensors being configured to obtain temperature measurements associated with the vehicle. The controller is configured to access a lookup table, with the lookup table mapping temperature measurements to operational parameters, determine operational parameters based on the lookup table, and cause implementation of the operational parameters to cause opening of the compartment, with the operational parameters being associated with adjustment of the temperature of the wire.
