Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, intelligent monitoring technology, data security technology, and vehicle weighing, specifically to an IoT-based intelligent monitoring method and system for vehicle weighing. Background Technology
[0002] In modern logistics, transportation, and mining industries, vehicle weighing is a crucial means of measuring the weight of transported goods and is widely used in the management of various material transportation. However, existing traditional vehicle weighing systems mainly rely on weighbridges and sensor equipment, which typically suffer from a series of problems. First, traditional systems lack effective security protection measures; vehicle identification information and weighing data may be leaked or tampered with during transmission, creating security risks. Second, traditional systems are usually operated manually, making them susceptible to human factors, resulting in lower data accuracy and reliability, and making them prone to data forgery and fraud.
[0003] Furthermore, traditional vehicle weighing systems struggle to monitor and assess vehicle stability in real time. Vehicles may become unstable during weighing (e.g., tilting or uneven tire contact), leading to inaccurate weighing results. However, current technologies often rely on static sensors, making it difficult to capture the vehicle's dynamic state in real time and lacking intelligent analysis mechanisms to identify anomalies. With the increasing demands for efficiency and accuracy in the logistics and transportation industry, improving weighing accuracy and stability has become a pressing issue.
[0004] Furthermore, traditional vehicle weighing systems lack robust data management and auditing mechanisms, making it difficult to ensure the immutability and traceability of weighing data, thus increasing the risk of data forgery. With the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, leveraging these advanced technologies to achieve intelligent and automated vehicle weighing monitoring while ensuring data security and traceability has become crucial for improving the safety and reliability of weighing systems. Therefore, developing an intelligent, accurate, and secure vehicle weighing monitoring system by combining IoT, AI algorithms, and blockchain technology has become a current direction for technological development. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides an intelligent monitoring method for vehicle weighing based on the Internet of Things, comprising: S10. Through two-way anonymous authentication between the vehicle-mounted OBU and the edge node of the weighbridge, the legitimacy of the vehicle is verified and the weighing process of the corresponding trust level is initiated to ensure the safety and privacy protection of the weighing process. S20. After successful certification, heterogeneous physical field data are collected and processed in real time through multiple sensors to construct a "force-shape-thermal-acoustic" coupled verification vector, providing a verification basis for data analysis. S30. Based on the collected data, the vehicle's three-dimensional pose is reconstructed using UWB positioning technology and visual SLAM technology to further ensure stability during the weighing process. If the vehicle is unstable, the weighing will be automatically cancelled. S40. Based on the judgment of vehicle stability and abnormal weighing data, a dynamic trust scoring mechanism is used to assess the trust of vehicles. Vehicles with high trust enter the fast lane, while vehicles with low trust trigger full-modal monitoring and AI behavior analysis, further improving the accuracy and safety of the weighing process. S50. By using blockchain technology, weighing data, risk assessment results, and model optimization logs are encrypted and uploaded, and a unique hash value is generated by combining the timestamp, ensuring the immutability and traceability of the weighing process data.
[0006] The above-described IoT-based intelligent vehicle weighing monitoring method verifies the vehicle's legitimacy and initiates the weighing process at the appropriate trust level through two-way anonymous authentication between the vehicle's onboard unit (OBU) and the weighbridge edge node, ensuring the security and privacy protection of the weighing process. Specifically, this includes: The weighbridge edge node sends a one-time authentication challenge to the vehicle-mounted OBU. The vehicle-mounted OBU generates response information based on pre-set anonymous identity credentials without revealing the vehicle's true identity. The vehicle-mounted OBU verifies the digital certificate and deployment location legitimacy of the weighbridge edge node, and completes two-way identity mutual trust. Based on the vehicle's historical interaction records and the results of this authentication, an initial trust level is determined, and the weighing safety policy corresponding to that trust level is loaded.
[0007] The above-described IoT-based intelligent vehicle weighing monitoring method involves simultaneously collecting and processing heterogeneous physical field data from multiple sensors in real time to construct a coupled verification vector of "force-shape-thermal-acoustic" to provide verification basis for data analysis. Specifically, this includes: The pressure sensor array, structural strain sensor, infrared thermal imaging module and acoustic microphone array are synchronously triggered to collect vehicle load distribution, frame deformation, tire contact surface temperature rise and chassis vibration noise signals, respectively. Time synchronization and feature extraction are performed on the collected multi-source heterogeneous physical field signals; The extracted force field features, deformation features, thermal field features, and acoustic features are fused to form a unified "force-shape-thermal-sound" coupled verification vector, which is used for subsequent consistency verification.
[0008] The above-described IoT-based intelligent vehicle weighing monitoring method includes the following steps in constructing a coupled verification vector of "force-shape-thermal-sound": The moment the vehicle enters the weighbridge platform, the pressure sensor array, chassis strain gauge, infrared thermal imager and acoustic microphone array are activated simultaneously to capture the load distribution pattern, structural micro-deformation response, temperature rise dynamics of the tire-ground contact area, and acoustic signature characteristics generated by chassis mechanical vibration. Millisecond-level time alignment was performed on four types of physical field signals, and their key behavioral features were extracted. Based on the spatiotemporal consistency relationship between multi-physics field characteristics, it is possible to determine whether there is human intervention or abnormal load state, thereby identifying hidden violations such as skipping the scale, pressing the edge, partial occlusion, or counterweight cheating.
[0009] The above-described IoT-based intelligent vehicle weighing monitoring method reconstructs the vehicle's three-dimensional pose using UWB positioning technology and visual SLAM technology based on collected data, further ensuring stability during the weighing process. If the vehicle is unstable, the weighing is automatically invalidated. Specifically, this includes: High-precision ranging is achieved by using multiple UWB anchor points deployed in the weighbridge area and vehicle-mounted UWB tags, while continuous image frames of the vehicle are acquired through a vision acquisition device above the weighbridge. Based on UWB ranging data and visual image frames, a joint localization and mapping algorithm is used to reconstruct the three-dimensional spatial pose of the vehicle on the weighbridge. The vehicle is judged to be completely stopped and all wheelsets are within the effective weighing area based on the reconstructed three-dimensional pose. If there is any deviation, tilt or instability, the weighing is automatically invalidated.
[0010] The above-described IoT-based intelligent vehicle weighing monitoring method, based on vehicle stability and anomaly detection in weighing data, uses a dynamic trust scoring mechanism to assess vehicle trust. High-trust vehicles enter the fast lane, while low-trust vehicles trigger full-modal monitoring and AI behavior analysis, further improving the accuracy and safety of the weighing process. Specifically, this includes: By combining the consistency of the coupled verification vectors, the stability of the vehicle's 3D pose, and historical behavior records, the current trust assessment result of the vehicle is generated. For vehicles with high trust assessment results, a simplified weighing process is enabled, performing only weight reading and basic verification. For vehicles with low trust assessment results, activate the full-modal data review mechanism and call the artificial intelligence behavior analysis model to identify potential abnormal weighing behavior.
[0011] The above-described IoT-based intelligent monitoring method for vehicle weighing encrypts and uploads weighing data, risk assessment results, and model optimization logs using blockchain technology, and generates a unique hash value by combining it with a timestamp, ensuring the immutability and traceability of the weighing process data. Specifically, it includes: The raw weight data, coupled verification vector, pose stability judgment results, trust assessment results, and artificial intelligence analysis logs generated during this weighing process are encapsulated into a structured data package; The structured data packet is encrypted and a timestamp issued by a trusted time source is appended. Encrypted and timestamped data packets are uploaded to the blockchain network to generate globally unique hash identifiers, enabling tamper-proof storage and cross-institutional traceability auditing of weighing data throughout the entire process.
[0012] This invention also provides an Internet of Things-based intelligent monitoring system for vehicle weighing, comprising: The vehicle-mounted unit module has a built-in security chip that supports anonymous authentication and a UWB communication module, which is used to perform two-way anonymous authentication with the edge node of the weighbridge to ensure the privacy protection and trust assessment of the vehicle's identity. The weighbridge edge node module integrates a pressure sensing pad, structural strain gauge, infrared thermal imager, acoustic microphone array, UWB anchor point, and high-definition visual acquisition device to synchronously acquire multimodal physical field data of vehicles and provide high-precision spatial positioning and vehicle image data. The edge intelligence processing unit module is used to perform multimodal data fusion, 3D pose reconstruction and AI behavior analysis, analyze vehicle stability, load status and other parameters in real time, and generate trust assessment results. The dynamic trust assessment module generates a vehicle trust score based on collected vehicle data, historical interaction records, and current trust level. It schedules and optimizes the weighing process to ensure that high-trust vehicles enter the fast lane and low-trust vehicles trigger full-modal monitoring and AI behavior analysis. The blockchain evidence storage interface module connects to a consortium blockchain jointly maintained by regulatory agencies, logistics platforms, and third-party notaries. It is used to encrypt and upload weighing data, risk assessment results, model optimization logs, etc., and generate a unique hash value by combining the timestamp, so as to realize tamper-proof evidence storage and cross-institutional traceability audit of the entire weighing process data.
[0013] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: By combining IoT, AI, and blockchain technologies, this invention helps improve the safety, accuracy, and intelligence of the vehicle weighing monitoring process. Through two-way anonymous authentication between the vehicle's OBU and the weighbridge edge node, the privacy of vehicle identity and data security are ensured. Multi-sensor synchronous acquisition of vehicle data and the construction of a coupled "force-shape-thermal-sound" verification vector enable a high-precision and stable weighing process. UWB positioning and visual SLAM technologies allow for real-time reconstruction of the vehicle's three-dimensional pose, automatically assessing vehicle stability and optimizing the weighing process. Finally, blockchain technology ensures the immutability and traceability of data, improving the efficiency and trustworthiness of the entire system, and possesses significant practical application value.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments recorded in the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this application provides a vehicle weighing intelligent monitoring method based on the Internet of Things, including the following steps: S10. Through two-way anonymous authentication between the vehicle-mounted OBU and the edge node of the weighbridge, the legitimacy of the vehicle is verified and the weighing process of the corresponding trust level is initiated to ensure the safety and privacy protection of the weighing process. This process ensures the security, privacy, and intelligence of the weighing process through two-way anonymous authentication and dynamic trust assessment mechanisms. Specifically, it includes the following steps: S101, the weighbridge edge node sends a one-time authentication challenge to the vehicle-mounted OBU, and the vehicle-mounted OBU generates response information based on the pre-set anonymous identity credentials without revealing the vehicle's true identity; After a vehicle enters the weighing area, the weighbridge edge node initiates an authentication process, sending a one-time authentication challenge to the vehicle's Onboard Unit (OBU). This challenge message includes the following parts: randomly generated authentication challenge data, a timestamp, the weighbridge node's identifier, and challenge verification information based on the AES encryption algorithm. The challenge data is transmitted through an encrypted channel to ensure the security and eavesdropping prevention of the communication process. Upon receiving the challenge, the onboard OBU uses its built-in anonymous identity credentials and a preset key to generate a response, and then generates corresponding response data using an encryption algorithm. This response data includes encrypted challenge verification information, ensuring that even if the communication process is intercepted, the vehicle's identity information cannot be exposed.
[0018] S102. The vehicle-mounted OBU verifies the digital certificate and deployment location of the weighbridge edge node to establish two-way identity trust. After completing the challenge response, the vehicle-mounted OBU will proceed to verify the legitimacy of the weighbridge edge node. First, the vehicle-mounted OBU will verify the legitimacy of the digital certificate provided by the weighbridge edge node. This verification process includes using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to verify the certificate, ensuring it was issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) and has not expired or been revoked. Next, the vehicle-mounted OBU will obtain the location information of the weighbridge edge node through its integrated positioning module and verify the validity of its geographic coordinates. By comparing this coordinates with the geographic boundaries of a pre-defined legal area, the vehicle-mounted OBU ensures that the weighbridge edge node is located within the designated weighbridge weighing area, thereby preventing the deployment of forged or malicious nodes.
[0019] S103. Based on the vehicle's historical interaction records and the results of this authentication, determine the initial trust level and load the weighing safety policy corresponding to that trust level.
[0020] After identity and location verification are completed, the onboard unit (OBU) determines the vehicle's initial trust level based on the vehicle's historical interaction records and the current authentication result. The vehicle's historical interaction records include previous weighing behavior, trust scores, historical abnormal event records (such as scale skipping, wheels hanging off the ground, etc.), and the vehicle's typical behavior patterns. The system combines this data with the current authentication result, using a machine learning model to dynamically evaluate the vehicle and generate a comprehensive trust score. Vehicles with higher trust scores are automatically classified as "high trust" and enter a simplified weighing process, while vehicles with lower trust scores are marked as "low trust" and require more stringent monitoring and review procedures.
[0021] S20. After successful certification, heterogeneous physical field data are collected and processed in real time through multiple sensors to construct a "force-shape-thermal-acoustic" coupled verification vector, providing a verification basis for data analysis. By synchronously collecting pressure, deformation, thermal field, and acoustic data in real time, the system can comprehensively monitor physical changes during the weighing process and promptly identify potential abnormal behaviors. Specifically, it includes the following steps: S201, synchronously triggered pressure sensor array, structural strain sensor, infrared thermal imaging module and acoustic microphone array, respectively collect vehicle load distribution, frame deformation, tire contact surface temperature rise and chassis vibration noise signals; After the vehicle enters the weighbridge platform and comes to a complete stop, the system simultaneously activates multiple sensor arrays to collect data. The pressure sensor array senses the contact area between the vehicle's tires and the weighbridge platform in real time, accurately capturing the load distribution of each wheel assembly. The frame strain sensor monitors minute deformations of the frame to reflect the vehicle's deformation state under stress. The infrared thermal imaging module tracks the dynamic temperature rise of the tire-ground contact area in real time, helping to identify heat changes caused by friction or uneven stress. Simultaneously, the acoustic microphone array captures the acoustic signature generated by chassis vibrations, reflecting the vehicle's stress and motion state through the vibration frequency and amplitude.
[0022] S202. Perform time synchronization and feature extraction on the collected multi-source heterogeneous physical field signals; All physical field data collected by sensors are synchronized at the millisecond level via the system's time synchronization module, ensuring that the physical changes corresponding to various signals are consistent at the same point in time. After synchronization, the system extracts features from pressure, deformation, thermal field, and acoustic signals. Specifically, pressure signals will extract key features of load distribution, deformation signals will extract minute deformation data of the chassis, thermal imaging signals will extract key points of temperature changes, and acoustic signals will extract the frequency and amplitude features of chassis vibration. Through feature extraction, the system transforms data from different physical fields into standardized feature vectors, laying the foundation for subsequent data analysis, model training, and anomaly identification.
[0023] S203. The extracted force field features, deformation features, thermal field features and acoustic features are fused to form a unified "force-shape-thermal-sound" coupled verification vector for subsequent consistency verification.
[0024] After feature extraction, the system fuses the feature data from the four physical fields to form a unified "force-shape-thermal-acoustic" coupled verification vector. This verification vector integrates key features from pressure, deformation, thermal field, and acoustic signals, comprehensively reflecting the physical state of the vehicle during the weighing process. By fusing these features, the system can perform consistency verification on multi-physical field signals, determining whether there are deviations or inconsistencies between the signals. If an anomaly is found, the system will issue an alarm, indicating potential data problems and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the data during the weighing process.
[0025] In constructing the "force-shape-thermal-acoustic" coupled verification vector, the system performs the following key steps: The moment the vehicle enters the weighbridge platform, the pressure sensor array, chassis strain gauge, infrared thermal imager and acoustic microphone array are activated simultaneously to capture the load distribution pattern, structural micro-deformation response, temperature rise dynamics of the tire-ground contact area, and acoustic signature characteristics generated by chassis mechanical vibration. Millisecond-level time alignment was performed on four types of physical field signals, and their key behavioral features were extracted. Based on the spatiotemporal consistency relationship between multi-physics field characteristics, the system determines whether there is human intervention or abnormal load conditions, thereby identifying covert violations such as load skipping, edge pressing, partial obstruction, or counterweight cheating. For example, if the pressure sensor array detects uneven load distribution, but the acoustic microphone array does not reflect the corresponding chassis vibration changes, or the thermal imaging module detects abnormal temperature fluctuations but the deformation sensor does not detect the corresponding deformation, the system will identify possible abnormal load conditions such as load skipping (vehicle not completely stopped), edge pressing (vehicle tires not properly contacting the ground), partial obstruction (such as an object blocking the sensor under the vehicle body), or counterweight cheating (increasing weight by increasing the local load on the wheels).
[0026] S30. Based on the collected data, the vehicle's three-dimensional pose is reconstructed using UWB positioning technology and visual SLAM technology to further ensure stability during the weighing process. If the vehicle is unstable, the weighing will be automatically cancelled. By precisely tracking the vehicle's position and attitude, the system can determine whether the vehicle has come to a complete stop and ensure that all wheelsets are within the valid weighing area. If the vehicle deviates, tilts, or is not completely stopped, the system will automatically invalidate the weighing, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the weighing results. The specific steps include the following: S301. High-precision ranging is achieved by using multiple UWB anchor points deployed in the weighbridge area and vehicle-mounted UWB tags, while continuous image frames of the vehicle are acquired through a visual acquisition device above the weighbridge. After the vehicle enters the weighbridge area, the system utilizes multiple UWB anchor points deployed within the weighbridge area to perform high-precision ranging with the vehicle's onboard UWB tag. This high-precision ranging between the UWB anchor points and the onboard tag provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy, determining the vehicle's position on the platform in real time. Simultaneously, the vision acquisition device above the weighbridge platform begins operation, capturing continuous image frames of the vehicle. This image data helps the system acquire the vehicle's external features and provides detailed information about its motion. The combination of UWB and visual image data provides a rich source of information for pose reconstruction, enhancing the system's ability to accurately estimate the vehicle's position and attitude.
[0027] S302. Based on UWB ranging data and visual image frames, a joint positioning and mapping algorithm is used to reconstruct the three-dimensional spatial pose of the vehicle on the weighbridge. By combining UWB ranging data and visual image frames, the system runs a Localization and Mapping Algorithm (SLAM) to accurately reconstruct the vehicle's 3D spatial pose on the weighbridge platform. UWB technology provides precise positional information for the vehicle, while visual data provides external viewpoint features through image processing techniques. This information, combined with the SLAM algorithm, enables the system to accurately estimate the vehicle's position, attitude, and trajectory in 3D space. The reconstructed 3D pose reflects the vehicle's stationary state in real time, ensuring precise control at every stage of the weighing process.
[0028] S303. Based on the reconstructed three-dimensional pose, determine whether the vehicle has come to a complete stop and whether all wheelsets are within the effective weighing area. If there is any deviation, tilt, or instability, the weighing will be automatically invalidated.
[0029] Based on the reconstructed 3D pose data, the system can determine whether the vehicle has come to a complete stop and ensure that all wheelsets are within the valid weighing area. The system analyzes the vehicle's position and tilt to determine if there is any vehicle deviation or uneven force distribution. If the vehicle deviates, causing some wheelsets to be outside the weighing area, or if the vehicle tilts, resulting in uneven force distribution on some wheelsets, the system will immediately detect this anomaly and invalidate the weighing attempt. Furthermore, if the vehicle still experiences slight vibrations or is not completely stopped, the system will also trigger an invalidation mechanism to ensure the stability of the weighing process and the accuracy of the data.
[0030] S40. Based on the judgment of vehicle stability and abnormal weighing data, a dynamic trust scoring mechanism is used to assess the trust of vehicles. Vehicles with high trust enter the fast lane, while vehicles with low trust trigger full-modal monitoring and AI behavior analysis, further improving the accuracy and safety of the weighing process. Based on the vehicle trust assessment results, the system intelligently adjusts the weighing process, simplifying the weighing steps for high-trust vehicles and subjecting low-trust vehicles to more stringent monitoring and analysis to prevent abnormal behavior or cheating. Specifically, this includes the following steps: S401, by combining the consistency of the integrated coupled verification vectors, the stability of the vehicle's three-dimensional pose, and historical behavior records, the current trust assessment result of the vehicle is generated. The system first conducts a comprehensive trust assessment based on the consistency of the coupled verification vectors (force-shape-thermal-acoustic), the stability of the vehicle's 3D pose, and the vehicle's historical behavior records. Specifically, the system analyzes the consistency of various physical signals within the coupled verification vectors to determine the vehicle's stability during the weighing process. It also examines the vehicle's 3D pose data to assess whether there is any deviation, tilting, or incomplete stopping. Simultaneously, the system combines historical behavior data with previous weighing records, abnormal events, and trust scores to comprehensively determine the vehicle's trust level. Finally, the system generates a trust assessment result for the current vehicle based on this information, quantifying the vehicle's trust score.
[0031] S402. For vehicles with high trust assessment results, a simplified weighing process is enabled, performing only weight reading and basic verification. For vehicles with high trust assessment results, the system will implement a simplified weighing process. Vehicles with high trust assessment results typically show no record of abnormal weighing behavior and behave consistently during the current weighing process. In this case, the system only needs to perform basic weight reading and basic verification, without requiring additional comprehensive review. This simplified process reduces unnecessary monitoring and data processing time, while ensuring that the weighing process is not delayed due to unnecessary checks.
[0032] S403. For vehicles with low trust assessment results, activate the full-modal data review mechanism and call the artificial intelligence behavior analysis model to identify potential abnormal weighing behavior.
[0033] For vehicles with low trust assessment results, the system activates a full-modal data review mechanism for more stringent monitoring. Vehicles with low trust assessment results may exhibit abnormal behavior or pose a risk of weighing fraud; therefore, the system enhances monitoring through more comprehensive data reviews. These reviews include reanalyzing data from multiple sensors to check for patterns inconsistent with normal behavior. Simultaneously, the system utilizes artificial intelligence behavioral analysis models to identify potential abnormal weighing behaviors, such as skipping the weighbridge, pressing the edge of the scale, and counterweight fraud. By identifying these potential problems, the system can promptly detect and prevent abnormal weighing, ensuring the accuracy of weighing data and the security of the system.
[0034] S50. Weighing data, risk assessment results, and model optimization logs are encrypted and uploaded using blockchain technology, and a unique hash value is generated by combining it with a timestamp, ensuring the immutability and traceability of the weighing process data. Specifically, this includes the following steps: S501. Encapsulate the raw weight data, coupled verification vector, pose stability judgment result, trust assessment result and artificial intelligence analysis log generated during this weighing process into a structured data package. After the weighing process is completed, the system encapsulates the relevant key data into a structured data package. This data package includes the original weight data from the weighing process, the coupling verification vector, the pose stability determination result, the trust assessment result, and the artificial intelligence analysis log. This data represents the core content of the weighing process, covering the entire process from data acquisition and verification to risk assessment and artificial intelligence analysis.
[0035] S502. Encrypt the structured data packet and append a timestamp issued by a trusted time source; To ensure data security and privacy protection, the system encrypts the encapsulated structured data packets. During encryption, encryption algorithms conforming to national standards are used to ensure data security during storage and transmission. Simultaneously, the system attaches a timestamp issued by a trusted time source to each data packet, providing precise time stamping, effectively preventing data tampering and forgery, and ensuring the time validity and authenticity of the data.
[0036] S503. Upload the encrypted and timestamped data packet to the blockchain network to generate a globally unique hash identifier, thereby achieving tamper-proof storage and cross-institutional traceability auditing of the entire weighing process data.
[0037] Encrypted and timestamped data packets are uploaded to the blockchain network via a secure communication channel. On the blockchain, the data generates a globally unique hash value, serving as a digital credential for the weighing event. The immutability of blockchain technology ensures data security and allows all weighing data to be traced back to its original source. Through the decentralized storage and consensus mechanism of the blockchain, the system can achieve tamper-proof data storage throughout the weighing process and support cross-institutional traceability auditing. Any query and verification of the data will be controlled by blockchain smart contracts, ensuring that only authorized users can access the data, while also ensuring the transparency and compliance of the data access process.
