Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle overload detection, and more specifically, to a method and device for controlling vehicle overload in the technical field of vehicle overload detection. Background Art

[0002] Overloading means that the actual load of a transportation vehicle exceeds the approved maximum allowable limit. Vehicle overloading has many hazards. It not only affects the road surface and damages the roadbed, but more importantly, there are major hidden dangers to vehicle driving safety. Due to the increase in inertia, once the vehicle encounters an emergency, the vehicle's braking system will not be able to stop quickly, resulting in serious traffic accidents.

[0003] In the related art, the vehicle's loading mass is generally calculated based on the vehicle's body height data, and then the loading mass is compared with the maximum loading mass corresponding to the vehicle. Once the loading mass exceeds the maximum loading mass, the vehicle is considered to be overloaded.

[0004] However, in related technologies, the vehicle height data fluctuates greatly, resulting in low accuracy and large errors in determining the loading mass based on the vehicle height data. Moreover, the detection is limited to the static state, which cannot effectively curb overloading behavior and cannot meet usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a method and device for controlling vehicle overload. The method can accurately detect the actual load mass of the vehicle by combining the static load mass obtained by vehicle body height and the dynamic load mass obtained by running resistance fitting, thereby limiting the speed of the vehicle when it is overloaded, improving the accuracy of detection, and proposing means to actively curb overloading behavior, thereby improving vehicle safety and effectively meeting usage requirements.

[0006] In a first aspect, a method for controlling vehicle overload is provided, the method comprising:

[0007] Collect the actual vehicle height after loading;

[0009] The actual loading mass of the vehicle is obtained according to the first loading mass and the corresponding first weight and the second loading mass and the corresponding second weight, and when the actual loading mass is greater than the preset overload mass, the vehicle is controlled to execute a preset safety strategy.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the actual body height of the vehicle after loading can be collected to obtain the static loading mass, which provides support for subsequent comparison with the reference body height of the vehicle without cargo. Combined with the dynamic loading mass after driving, the actual loading mass can be accurately obtained. Once overloaded, the vehicle is controlled to execute certain safety strategies, which is conducive to accurately detecting the actual loading mass of the vehicle, improving the accuracy of detection, and improving the safety of the vehicle, effectively meeting usage needs.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some possible implementations, controlling the vehicle to execute a preset safety policy includes:

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the difference between the actual loading mass and a certain overload mass can be calculated to ensure the improvement of detection accuracy. The optimal prompt action for overload prompt is matched according to the difference. After the optimal prompt action is completed, it is judged whether the vehicle meets certain safety strategy execution conditions. When certain safety strategy execution conditions are met, the vehicle speed can be limited to a certain safe speed, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle.

[0019] The actual driving resistance is calculated according to the combined resistance of the vehicle and the current slope resistance, wherein the combined resistance is obtained by fitting the road resistance with the rotating hub.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the calculation accuracy of driving resistance can be improved. Without increasing the vehicle configuration, the static loading mass obtained by combining the vehicle body height and the dynamic loading mass obtained by driving resistance fitting can be ensured in both dynamic and static states to accurately detect the actual loading mass of the vehicle. While improving the accuracy of detection, the safety of the vehicle is improved to further meet the usage requirements.

[0026] detecting whether the first loading mass is greater than or equal to the preset overload mass;

[0027] When it is detected that the first loading mass is greater than or equal to the preset overload mass, the vehicle is prohibited from starting and an overload danger warning is issued to the driver.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, when it is detected that the first loading mass is greater than or equal to a certain overload mass, that is, when overloading is determined in a static state, there is no need for dynamic review, and the vehicle is directly prohibited from starting to avoid overloaded driving behavior. Overload danger warnings can be issued through, but are not limited to, acoustic and / or optical reminders, thereby stopping overloading behavior and effectively avoiding overloading.

[0029] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some possible implementations, the overload hazard warning to the driver includes:

The optimal reminder action for overload danger warning is matched according to the safety difference, and the vehicle is controlled to perform the optimal reminder action. Means of actively curbing overloading behavior are proposed to improve the safety of the vehicle and effectively meet usage needs.

[0061] The following will clearly and thoroughly describe the technical solutions in this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0062] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0063] Traditional vehicle overload control systems can only obtain the vehicle body height and compare the loaded mass with the vehicle's maximum load mass to determine the overload. This method is simple and produces large errors, making it unable to effectively curb overloading behavior.

[0064] Next, the application scenario or system architecture of the embodiment of the present application will be described. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0065] Generally, first, a vehicle height sensor is installed on each of the front and rear suspensions of the vehicle. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the installation position of the vehicle front suspension body height sensor 10, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the installation position of the vehicle's rear suspension vehicle height sensor 20. Each time the vehicle is powered on, the front and rear vehicle height sensors are reset to zero and the voltage signal output by the sensors is sent to the CAN (Controller Area Network) line. Secondly, the average output voltage of the front and rear vehicle height sensors (e.g., the voltage range is 0.35-4.75V) and the loaded mass (e.g., unladen mass is 3000kg, fully laden mass is 3400kg). The corresponding relationship is shown in the following table. This part requires calibration. Table 1 is a comparison table of output voltage and mass, where, as shown in Table 1:

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068] Before explaining the vehicle overload control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the overload sensor structure designed in the embodiment of the present application is first explained.

[0069] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a vehicle overload control method provided according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0071] In step S301 : the actual vehicle height of the loaded vehicle is collected.

[0072] During the actual implementation process, the implementation of this application can be but is not limited to collecting the actual body height of the vehicle after loading through the body height sensor, providing support for subsequent comparison with the reference body height of the vehicle without cargo, thereby facilitating the accurate detection of the actual loading mass of the vehicle, improving the accuracy of the detection, and improving the safety of the vehicle, effectively meeting the usage requirements.

[0073] In step S302, the actual vehicle body height is compared with the reference vehicle body height of the unladen vehicle, and the first loading mass of the vehicle is matched according to the comparison result. When the first loading mass is less than the preset overload mass, the second loading mass of the vehicle is calculated based on the acceleration signal of the loaded vehicle and the actual driving resistance.

[0074] It is understood that embodiments of the present application can perform static detection of the loaded mass. For example, if a vehicle is equipped with a vehicle height sensor, it can be understood that when the loaded mass changes, the vehicle's center of mass height drops and the suspension arm position changes, thereby causing the output voltage of the vehicle height sensor to change. Therefore, as shown in Table 1 above, by calibrating the relationship between the two front and rear height sensors of the vehicle (the output voltage information of the vehicle height sensor) and the loaded mass (such as using an output voltage and mass comparison table), the vehicle's loaded mass can be accurately obtained. Embodiments of the present application can use the output voltage values ​​of the two front and rear vehicle height sensors and the linear difference to perform a table lookup, thereby comparing the actual vehicle height with the reference vehicle height of an unladen vehicle, and matching the vehicle's first loaded mass based on the comparison result. No specific limitations are imposed herein.

[0075] During the actual implementation process, when the vehicle is powered on, the first loading mass detected by static detection can be obtained. If the first loading mass is not detected normally during the process of starting and driving, after the vehicle starts, the change in suspension height is not only related to the mass, but also due to various factors such as the vehicle's driving speed, acceleration and road bumps, resulting in inaccurate loading mass reflected by the information obtained by the vehicle height sensor. At this time, the second loading mass can be calculated through a dynamic detection scheme. When the first loading mass is less than a certain overload mass, the second loading mass of the vehicle is calculated based on the acceleration signal of the vehicle after loading and the actual driving resistance.

[0076] The embodiment of the present application can obtain the static loading mass of the vehicle, that is, the loading mass in a stationary state is obtained based on the height of the vehicle body. However, taking into account the situation where there is an error in the static loading mass, the dynamic loading mass is obtained and reviewed in combination with various factors such as the vehicle's driving speed, acceleration and road bumps to obtain an accurate actual loading mass. This ensures that when it is uncertain whether the first loading mass is really less than the overload mass, the second loading mass of the vehicle is obtained through a dynamic detection scheme. Once the vehicle is really overloaded, the safety strategy is executed to accurately detect the loading mass, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection, avoiding overloaded vehicles on the road, ensuring the safety of the driver's driving, and improving the intelligence of vehicle overload control.

[0077] It should be noted that the preset overload mass can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0078] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, before calculating the second loading mass of the vehicle, it also includes: calculating the actual driving resistance based on the combined resistance of the vehicle and the current slope resistance, wherein the combined resistance is obtained by fitting the road resistance with the rotating hub.

[0079] It is understandable that there are many uncalculated resistances during the actual road driving of a vehicle, and the basic force calculation is less accurate under some working conditions. Therefore, in order to improve the calculation accuracy, the embodiment of the present application can optimize the vehicle driving resistance calculation part. For the unpredictable resistance during vehicle driving, especially for each separate part of the resistance calculation, the error in the calculated total resistance will be greater. At this time, the driving resistance fitting method can be used to simulate the final total resistance as a quadratic equation, thereby improving the dynamic calculation accuracy of the effective driving resistance.

[0080] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application can calculate the actual driving resistance based on the vehicle's combined resistance and the current slope resistance, wherein the combined resistance can be obtained by fitting the road resistance by the hub.

[0081] The general resistance calculation formula is:

[0082] F 合阻力 =F f + w +F j ,

[0083] The rolling resistance calculation formula is:

[0084] F f =m*g*f*cosα,

[0085] The formula for calculating air resistance is:

[0086] Fw=1 / 2*CDAρv 2 ,

[0087] The slope resistance calculation formula is:

[0088] F i =m*g*sinα,

[0089] The calculation formula for acceleration resistance is:

[0090] F j =δ*m*a,

[0091]

[0092] Since the rolling resistance coefficient f is related to the vehicle speed v, it can be fitted into the formula:

[0093] F 合阻力 =A+B*v+C*v 2 ,

[0094] F 合阻力 It can be obtained by fitting the road resistance through laboratory rotation, with high accuracy.

[0095] The total driving resistance of the vehicle in the embodiment of the present application can be obtained as follows:

[0096] F 总阻力 =F 合阻力 +F i ,

[0097] The embodiments of the present application can improve the calculation accuracy of driving resistance. Without increasing the vehicle configuration, it can ensure that the static loading mass obtained by combining the vehicle body height and the dynamic loading mass obtained by driving resistance fitting in both dynamic and static states, accurately detect the actual loading mass of the vehicle, improve the accuracy of detection, and at the same time improve the safety of the vehicle, further meeting the usage requirements.

[0098] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, before obtaining the actual loading mass of the vehicle, it also includes: obtaining the stationary time of the vehicle corresponding to the first loading mass, and obtaining the driving time of the vehicle corresponding to the second loading mass; comparing the stationary time and the driving time, and determining the first weight and the second weight based on the comparison result.

[0099] It can be understood that the vehicle's stationary time and driving time in the embodiment of the present application can affect the weight when the vehicle's actual loading mass is obtained, wherein the first weight and the second weight can represent the relative importance of the stationary time and the driving time in obtaining the vehicle's actual loading mass.

[0100] During the actual implementation process, the embodiments of the present application can, but are not limited to, obtain the stationary time of the vehicle corresponding to the first loading mass and the driving time of the vehicle corresponding to the second loading mass through calculation, thereby providing support for the subsequent comparison of the stationary time of the vehicle and the driving time of the vehicle. By comparing the stationary time of the vehicle and the driving time of the vehicle, and determining the first weight and the second weight according to the comparison results, it is convenient to improve the accuracy of detection and enhance the intelligence of vehicle overload control.

[0101] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the stationary time may be, but not limited to, 3 minutes, and the driving time may be, but not limited to, 2 minutes. When the stationary time is long, and the stationary time is greater than the driving time, and the quality change trend is reasonable, it can be determined based on the comparison results that the first weight is obtained from the stationary time, the second weight is obtained from the driving time, and the first weight is greater than the second weight. For another example, in the embodiment of the present application, the stationary time may be, but not limited to, 3 minutes, and the driving time may be, but not limited to, 4 minutes. When the driving time is long, and the driving time is greater than the stationary time, and the vehicle is driving smoothly after operation, it can be determined based on the comparison results that the first weight is obtained from the driving time, the second weight is obtained from the stationary time, and the first weight is greater than the second weight. In other words, if the stationary time is greater than the driving time, it indicates that the accuracy of static detection is higher. Conversely, if the stationary time is less than the driving time, it indicates that the accuracy of dynamic detection is higher.

[0102] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, after matching the first loading mass of the vehicle according to the comparison result, it also includes: detecting whether the first loading mass is greater than or equal to the preset overload mass; when it is detected that the first loading mass is greater than or equal to the preset overload mass, prohibiting the vehicle from starting and issuing an overload hazard warning to the driver.

[0103] It is understandable that in the absence of weighing equipment, the driver may not be able to accurately estimate the mass of the cargo, and it is easy to cause unintentional overloading when loading non-standard cargo, resulting in the truck being overloaded on the road. Therefore, the overload danger warning method in the embodiment of the present application can prohibit the vehicle from starting when it is detected that the first load mass is greater than a certain overload mass, and can provide the driver with an overload danger warning through but not limited to acoustic and / or optical reminders, thereby correcting the driver's overloading behavior and effectively avoiding overloading.

[0104] Specifically, when the vehicle is determined to be overloaded based on the vehicle body height without the need for dynamic loading mass review, the embodiment of the present application can directly prohibit the vehicle from starting, without the need to calculate the second loading mass of the vehicle based on the acceleration signal and the actual driving resistance, thereby effectively ensuring the reliability of the control, avoiding redundant operations, and being simple and reliable.

[0105] As a possible implementation method, the embodiment of the present application can detect whether the first loading mass is greater than or equal to a certain overload mass after obtaining the first loading mass of the static detection. When it is detected that the first loading mass is greater than or equal to the certain overload mass, that is, when the overload is determined in the static state, there is no need for dynamic review, and the vehicle is directly prohibited from starting to avoid overload driving behavior. There is no need to calculate the second loading mass of the vehicle based on the acceleration signal and the actual driving resistance, and the driver is warned of the danger of overload, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle by actively curbing overload behavior.

[0106] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the first load mass is 2000 kg and the overload mass is 1950 kg. When it is detected that the first load mass is greater than a certain overload mass, that is, when the overload is determined in a static state, no dynamic review is required, and the vehicle is directly prohibited from starting. An acoustic reminder method, which may be but not limited to a stereo loudspeaker, a buzzer, etc., is used to emit a warning sound, thereby performing an acoustic overload hazard warning. For another example, in the embodiment of the present application, the first load mass is 2000 kg and the overload mass is 2000 kg. When the embodiment of the present application detects that the first load mass is equal to the certain overload mass, the vehicle is determined to be overloaded. At this time, the vehicle can be prohibited from starting, and an optical reminder method, such as flashing lights on the instrument panel or lighting up a hazard sign, is used to perform an optical overload hazard warning. For another example, in the embodiment of the present application, when it is detected that the first load mass is greater than or equal to a certain overload mass, that is, when the overload is determined in a static state, no dynamic review is required, and the vehicle is directly prohibited from starting. A combined acoustic and optical reminder method is used, such as the vehicle emits a warning sound and flashes lights on the instrument panel or lighting up a hazard sign, to perform an optical overload hazard warning. For another example, in the embodiment of the present application, the first loading mass is 1950 kg and the overload mass is 2000 kg. Although it is not overloaded, in order to avoid errors, the dynamic loading mass is further calculated after the vehicle starts to move, so as to calculate the actual loading mass of the vehicle. When the actual loading mass does not exceed 2000 kg, there is no need to execute the safety strategy.

[0107] It should be noted that the preset overload mass can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0108] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, an overload hazard warning is provided to the driver, including: calculating a safety difference between a first loading mass and a preset overload mass; matching an optimal reminder action for overload hazard warning according to the safety difference, and controlling the vehicle to perform the optimal reminder action.

[0109] It is understandable that the optimal reminder action in the embodiment of the present application may be, but is not limited to, continuously displaying the vehicle overload status through the instrument.

[0110] During the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can calculate the safety difference between the first loading mass and a certain overload mass to improve the accuracy of detection; match the optimal reminder action for overload danger warning according to the safety difference, and control the vehicle to perform the optimal reminder action, propose a means to actively curb overloading behavior, improve the safety of the vehicle, and effectively meet the use needs.

[0111] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the safety difference is 50kg, and the overload mass is 1950kg. When the results of calculating the first loading mass and the overload mass meet the safety difference, the optimal reminder action for overload hazard warning can be matched according to the safety difference, and the vehicle overload status can be continuously displayed through the instrument, thereby further improving the safety of the vehicle and effectively meeting the usage requirements.

[0112] It should be noted that the preset safety quality can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0113] In step S303, the actual loading mass of the vehicle is obtained according to the first loading mass and the corresponding first weight and the second loading mass and the corresponding second weight, and when the actual loading mass is greater than the preset overload mass, the vehicle is controlled to execute the preset safety strategy.

[0114] It can be understood that the preset safety strategies in the embodiments of the present application may include, but are not limited to, various active control safety strategies such as speed limit, torque limit, and instrument reminder when the vehicle is overloaded, so as to actively curb overloading behavior and improve vehicle safety.

[0115] The following describes in detail various active control safety strategies such as speed limit, torque limit, and instrument reminder in the event of overload in the embodiment of the present application.

[0116] During the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can obtain the actual loading mass of the vehicle based on the first loading mass and the corresponding first weight and the second loading mass and the corresponding second weight, and when the actual loading mass is greater than a certain overload mass, control the vehicle to execute certain safety strategies, such as when the vehicle is overloaded, performing various active control safety strategies such as safety speed limit, torque limit, instrument reminder, etc. on the vehicle, thereby ensuring high-precision detection of the loading mass while improving the safety of the vehicle and ensuring that the driver drives safely to the destination to unload the vehicle.

[0117] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the first loading mass is 2000kg, the second loading mass is 1800kg, the actual loading mass is 1900kg, the certain overload mass is 1600kg, and the certain safe speed is within 30km / h. The embodiment of the present application can obtain the actual loading mass of the vehicle of 1900kg based on the first loading mass of 2000kg and the corresponding first weight and the second loading mass of 1800kg and the corresponding second weight, and when the actual loading mass of 1900kg is greater than the certain overload mass of 1600kg, the vehicle is controlled to execute a certain safety strategy and perform a safe speed limit control on the vehicle. For example, if the current vehicle speed is 60km / h, when the vehicle is detected to be overloaded, speed limit measures can be taken after 15 seconds to gradually slow down the speed, such as reducing the speed by 3km / h every 3 seconds to slow down, until the vehicle speed is limited to the safe speed of 30km / h, thereby actively curbing overloading behavior and improving vehicle safety.

[0118] For another example, the embodiments of the present application can control the vehicle to execute a certain safety strategy when the actual loading mass is greater than a certain overload mass, that is, when the vehicle is overloaded, the vehicle is torque limited, such as reducing the maximum output torque of the current vehicle engine to 75% of the nominal maximum output torque, thereby further actively curbing overloading behavior and improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0119] For another example, the embodiment of the present application can control the vehicle to execute a certain safety strategy when the actual loading mass is greater than a certain overload mass. That is, when the vehicle is overloaded, the vehicle instrument will be reminded. By flashing the instrument lights and displaying text prompts, the vehicle is controlled to remind the driver of the vehicle overload situation, so that the driver can detect the overload situation in time and avoid vehicle overload.

[0120] The embodiment of the present application can also provide an instrument reminder when the vehicle is overloaded and actively control the vehicle's speed and torque limit. For example, when the vehicle is overloaded, the instrument light continues to flash, and the speed and torque limit text is displayed on the instrument. After the text prompt is displayed, speed limit measures are taken after 15 seconds, and the current maximum output torque of the vehicle engine is reduced to 75% of the nominal maximum output torque. While ensuring high-precision detection of loading quality, it improves the safety of the vehicle and ensures that the driver drives safely to the destination to unload the vehicle.

[0121] It should be noted that the preset overload mass and the preset safety policy can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0122] Optionally, controlling the vehicle to execute a preset safety strategy includes: limiting the vehicle speed to a preset safety speed.

[0123] It can be understood that the certain safe vehicle speed in the embodiment of the present application may be within 30 km / h.

[0124] During the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can control the vehicle to execute a certain safety strategy when it detects that the vehicle is overloaded, and limit the vehicle speed to within 30km / h, thereby ensuring speed limit control when the vehicle is overloaded, which not only avoids overloaded vehicles on the road, but also ensures that the driver can drive safely to the destination to unload the vehicle even if it is overloaded, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle and effectively meeting usage requirements.

[0125] It should be noted that the preset safe speed can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0126] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, it includes: calculating the difference between the actual loading mass and the preset overload mass; matching the optimal prompt action for overload prompt according to the difference, and after ending the optimal prompt action, judging whether the vehicle meets the preset safety policy execution conditions; if the preset safety policy execution conditions are met, limiting the vehicle speed to a preset safety speed.

[0127] It can be understood that the optimal prompt action in the embodiment of the present application can be, but is not limited to, displaying the vehicle's overload speed limit prompt through the instrument panel, and the certain safe speed can be within 30km / h.

[0128] In some embodiments, the difference between the actual loading mass and a certain overload mass can be calculated, and the optimal prompt action for overload prompting can be matched based on the difference. After the optimal prompt action is completed, it is determined whether the vehicle meets the preset safety policy execution conditions. When the preset safety policy execution conditions are met, the vehicle speed can be limited to a certain safe speed to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

[0129] For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the actual loading mass is 2000kg, and the certain overload mass is 2100kg. The difference between the actual loading mass and the certain overload mass is calculated to be 100kg. The optimal prompt action for overload prompt can be matched according to the difference. For example, when the vehicle is overloaded, the instrument continuously displays: "The vehicle is overloaded, and speed limit measures will be taken soon!" After controlling the vehicle to display the overload speed limit prompt, it is judged whether the vehicle meets certain safety policy execution conditions. For example, when the vehicle is overloaded and the vehicle continues to drive, it is determined that the vehicle meets certain safety policy execution conditions. When certain safety policy execution conditions are met, speed limit measures should be taken after 15 seconds, and the current speed of the vehicle should be set to the current speed limit value. After setting the current speed to the speed limit value, the vehicle speed can be continuously monitored and decelerated by reducing the speed by 3km / h every 3 seconds. Finally, the vehicle speed is limited to within 30km / h, so that the vehicle arrives at the destination smoothly and stops safely.

[0130] It should be noted that the preset overload mass, preset safety policy execution conditions and preset safe vehicle speed can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0131] In summary, this application combines the static load mass obtained from vehicle height with the dynamic load mass obtained from running resistance fitting to accurately detect the actual load mass of the vehicle, thereby limiting the speed of the vehicle when it is overloaded. While improving the accuracy of detection, it also proposes a means to actively curb overloading behavior, improve vehicle safety, and effectively meet user requirements. This solves the problem in the related art that vehicle height data has large fluctuations, resulting in low accuracy and large errors in determining load mass based on vehicle height data, and is limited to detection in a static state, which cannot effectively curb overloading behavior and cannot meet user requirements. While improving detection accuracy, it also improves vehicle safety and effectively meets user requirements.
