Vehicle loading optimisation system

Objective

The proposed research will improve Road Transport standards by enabling Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) to be equipped with accurate on-board sensors that will constantly monitor loading conditions and reference recorded data against optimised benchmarks. Improved vehicle control will allow significant safety benefits and long-term economies will accrue due to operational savings on goods and equipment. The sensors will provide a range of in-cab displays to facilitate safe and efficient procedures, and operational benefits will eliminate the possibility of overloading and maximise efficiency. Operators will be able to ensure that vehicles are loaded to 100% of their designed 'safe-load' parameters to improve cost-effective operation and avoid censure due to undersized consignments.
