The transport module is used to form modular vehicle convoys for transporting oversized and overweight cargo, and the modular vehicle convoy is equipped with this transport module.

Abstract

The invention relates to a transport module (2) for the formation of modular train sets (50) for the transport of oversized and overweight goods with load-bearing platforms (6) and axles (7) fitted with corresponding wheels (9); the transport module (2) has a first electronic controller (30) which is configured to control the operation of the wheels (9) in response to commands sent by the second electronic controller (34); each wheel (9) has a monitoring device (20), which detects the pressure in the wheel (9), has a unique identifier and communicates in wireless mode with a transmitter (40) installed on the transport module (2); the transmitter (40) receives pressure data from all monitoring devices (20), with corresponding identifiers, and communicates to the first electronic controller (30); The latter is configured to match the identifiers of the monitoring devices (20) with the positions of the wheels (9) on which the monitoring devices are actually installed (20).
