Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to calibrate a weight estimation are disclosed herein. An example apparatus comprises memory including stored instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to determine, via a first sensor, a first load estimation of a vehicle corresponding to when the vehicle under a load condition, determine, via a second sensor, a second load estimation corresponding to when the vehicle is moving and under the load condition, and calibrate, based on a difference between the second load estimation and the first load estimation, an error of the first load estimation.
Claims13
An apparatus comprising:
- an axle assembly including:
- a suspension system including a component extending between a first wheel of a vehicle and a second wheel of the vehicle, wherein the component is an antiroll bar;
- and
- a sensor disposed on the component;
- and
- a processor to execute instructions to determine a load on the axle assembly based on an output of the sensor.
A vehicle comprising:
- a first wheel;
- a second wheel;
- an axle assembly including:
- a suspension system including a component extending between the first wheel and the second wheel, wherein the component is an antiroll bar;
- a sensor disposed on the component;
- and
- a load manager to determine a load on the axle assembly based on an output of the sensor.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which, when executed cause a processor to:
- determine, via an output of a sensor, a displacement of an element extending between a first wheel of an axle assembly of a vehicle and a second wheel of the axle assembly, wherein the element is an antiroll bar;
- and
- determine a load on the axle assembly based on the displacement.
