A system includes at least one processor configured to: (i) determining a first distance between a center point of a wheel of an unloaded vehicle and a chassis spring of the vehicle based on first sensor data of the first set of plurality of image sensors; (ii) determining a second distance between the center point and the chassis spring for the loaded vehicle based on second sensor data of the first set of plurality of image sensors; (iii) based upon a difference between the first distance and the second distance, and characteristics of the chassis spring, determining a load at each wheel for determining a total mass of the vehicle and a first coordinates of a center of gravity of the vehicle along a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis with respect to a front axle of the vehicle.

A lever-type fastening device particularly for the door of the body of trucks, trailers and the like, comprising at least one rod (2), which is supported so that it can rotate along the door (3) and to which at least one lever (4) for opening and closing the door (3) manually is rigidly coupled at right angles, the lever (4) being able to rotate from a position for closing the door (3), in which it engages, by means of a substantially pawl-shaped lug (5), in a respective locator (8) that is rigidly coupled to the body, to a position for opening the door (3), in which the pawl-shaped lug (5) is disengaged from the locator (8), characterized in that it comprises, coaxially to the rod (2), a spring (10) for retaining the lever (4) in the closure position, which is associated with a spacer (11) that allows precision placement of the lever (4) with respect to the door (3) and allows to support the axial load that bears on the spring (10) during operation. <IMAGE>

A spill pallet including: a continuous, unitary, liftable sump-defining base having a bottom, side walls extending from and surrounding the bottom and terminating in an upper edge, a plurality of risers extending from the bottom, and a rim formed in the side walls below the upper edge; and at least one drum-supporting grate that is supportable on the plurality of risers and the rim of the base. Two fork channels that are accessible from a side of the base have a fork cavity height and a fork cavity width sufficient to permit the spill pallet to be lifted by a standard fork lift truck or by a standard pallet jack. The bases are configured such that they are stackable on and partially nestable within identical bases to form stacks, which can be shipped side-by-side as a partial load within a truck, trailer or container.

A rear collision warning device for trailers that may include one or more sensors, a control circuit, and one or more warning devices. In one aspect, the sensors are configured to monitor a predetermined zone behind and / or alongside a trailer and to optionally trigger warnings as predetermined criteria are satisfied. In another aspect, the control circuit controls the warning devices to emit a warning signal in the form of flashing lights, strobes, audible alarms, and the like, or to send warning notifications to a remote server, an app, or to a cab mounted display. The sensors, circuits, and warning devices are optionally mounted together in a separate housing and mounted at or near the side and / or rear of the trailer.

The application provides a nonlinear truck trailer system fuzzy control method in a networked environment, comprising: modeling a nonlinear truck trailer system as a piecewise T-S fuzzy model, and designing a piecewise fuzzy state feedback controller with state adaptive saturation, and giving a controller design condition; designing a new piecewise event triggering mechanism, wherein an event triggering rule follows different space region information of state variables of the system model, and researching an event triggering fuzzy control scheme; the application gives a new event triggering control scheme, which can guarantee system stability in the case that the system is affected by outliers, and overcomes the problem that the event triggering mechanism and the controller need to be designed coordinately in the prior application; finally, the effectiveness of the technical method of the application is verified through an actual truck trailer system.
