Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of measurement, and in particular relates to a vehicle load measurement method and system based on multi-sensor data fusion technology. Background Art
[0002] Usually, in order to improve transportation efficiency and economic benefits, vehicle overloading is a common phenomenon everywhere. However, overloaded transportation not only causes huge damage to the public transportation infrastructure, but also poses a serious threat to people’s property and life safety. How to solve the problem of vehicle overloading and over-limit is imminent.
[0003] At present, my country mainly controls vehicle overloading by setting up monitoring stations. This control method requires setting up monitoring stations along the highway, guiding vehicles on the road to pass through the weighing equipment at the monitoring stations, and using static weighing to determine whether the vehicles are overloaded. However, the monitoring stations are fixed in position, which makes it easy for vehicles to escape monitoring, and it is easy to cause traffic congestion when the traffic volume is large, making the monitoring efficiency low.
[0004] In order to solve the problems caused by static weighing, a vehicle-mounted dynamic weighing technology has been proposed. It uses displacement sensors to measure the tiny deformation of the frame or axle and converts it into vehicle load, thereby realizing real-time weighing of the vehicle during driving, improving monitoring efficiency and avoiding traffic congestion.
[0005] However, the vehicle condition and road conditions are changeable during driving. The age of the vehicle, road bumps, and weather conditions will affect the accuracy of the sensor. This makes the current vehicle dynamic weighing technology unable to accurately obtain the vehicle load weight, and the monitoring credibility is not high. Summary of the invention
