Vehicle weight distribution determination

A system for autonomous vehicle operation comprising a computer that comprises a processor, configured to implement a method which causes the processor to:

• receive a set of filtered values describing weight or pressure applied on axles of a vehicle at a first time;
• determine, from the set of filtered values, one or more weight values for the respective axles;
• determine a change in a weight distribution of the vehicle by comparing, by a computer located in the vehicle, the one or more weight values to weight values of the vehicle acquired at a time that is later than the first time;
• determine, by the computer, a driving-related operation of the vehicle based on the change;
• and
• cause an autonomous driving operation of the vehicle to be performed by executing the driving-related operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method comprising:

• receiving a set of filtered values describing weight or pressure applied on axles of a vehicle at a first time;
• determining, from the set of filtered values, one or more weight values for the respective axles;
• determining a change in a weight distribution of the vehicle by comparing, by a computer located in the vehicle, the one or more weight values to weight values of the vehicle acquired at a time that is later than the first time;
• determining, by the computer, a driving-related operation of the vehicle based on the change;
• and
• causing an autonomous driving operation of the vehicle to be performed by executing the driving-related operation.
