LifeSaver: Predictive Load Limit Estimation for Transport Vehicles in Hilly Areas
The transportation of essential goods in moun- tainous regions faces severe logistical challenges and frequent disruptions. To mitigate these difficulties, transport companies often overload trucks, which, though cost-saving, significantly heightens the risk of accidents and mechanical failures. This paper presents the development of a device that detects over- loaded and insecurely fastened loads on trucks and commercial vehicles. Using advanced load sensors, the device offers real- time monitoring of cargo weight distribution, alerting drivers and authorities to unsafe conditions. The initial prototype utilised two basic load cells and an Arduino microcontroller. The second version was enhanced with four load cells and extended sensors. This version was tested by placing an electric golf cart onto the prototype. Various loads were then added to the cart in different orientations to assess whether the system could accurately detect improper or excessive load conditions.
