Abstract

The Sensor for Overloading of Trucks project seeks to develop an advanced sensor mechanism with a high accuracy for checking whether a truck is overloaded or not. Eliminating overloading in trucks is critical for effective loading and weighing, reducing mechanical failure, minimizing deterioration in roads, and enhancing overall security policies in terms of roads. Overloading is one of the most important factors in causing accidents, infrastructure deterioration, and increased maintenance, and its management is a matter of high concern. The system developed in this work utilizes strain sensors for monitoring the compressive and tensional loads experienced at specific parts of a truck at which most strain is encountered. Measuring such a process, nevertheless, proves to be a challenge with a moving truck, whose motion generates variable and unpredictable jerks and rough roads, and temporarily generates fluctuations in strain, creating a problem in taking proper readings. The work seeks to overcome such complications through a robust and effective model of a sensor capable of working under such variable motion and providing proper readings for weighing and supporting safer transportation processes.
