Abstract
A vehicle control system comprising an electronic processor, the processor comprising an input port for receiving data from a loading apparatus concerning at least one of the weight, dimensions, volume, or location of a load placed or to be placed by the loading equipment into or onto an associated vehicle in which the vehicle control system is fitted, and is programmed to use the data received from the loading apparatus to make control adjustments such that the associated vehicle maintains stability.
Claims41
A vehicle control system comprising:
- an electronic processor, the processor comprising an input port for receiving data from a loading apparatus concerning at least one of a weight, dimensions, volume, or location of a load placed or to be placed by the loading apparatus into or onto an associated vehicle in which the vehicle control system is fitted, and is programmed to use the data received from the loading apparatus to make control adjustments such that the associated vehicle maintains stability;
- and
- a sensor which measures a parameter relating to vehicle dynamics and which is connected to the processor and transmits to the processor data concerning the vehicle dynamics,
- wherein the electronic processor is further programmed to use the data received from the sensor, in addition to data from the loading apparatus, to determine if an automatic control intervention is required to alter vehicle dynamics.
A vehicle control system comprising an electronic processor, the processor having an input port for receiving data from a loading apparatus concerning at least one of a weight, dimensions, or volume of a load to be placed by the loading apparatus into or onto a vehicle in which the vehicle control system is fitted, an instructions output port for transmitting instructions to the loading apparatus, the processor being programmed to use data received from the loading apparatus to determine a preferred location in the vehicle for the load, and to transmit to the loading apparatus instructions as to the preferred location, wherein the instructions concerning the preferred location comprises coordinates in a plane generally parallel to one or both of a wheel base of the vehicle and a base of a trailer of the vehicle.
