Abstract
A computer-implemented method for handling an axle configuration of a vehicle is provided. The axle configuration is indicative of a number of axles of the vehicle. The method includes obtaining vehicle condition data indicative of at least one load applied to the vehicle. The method includes obtaining the axle configuration of the vehicle. The method includes obtaining estimating a current weight of the vehicle based on the obtained vehicle condition data and based on the axle configuration of the vehicle. The method includes obtaining a previously estimated weight of the vehicle. The method includes, based on a difference between the previously estimated weight and the current weight of the vehicle, predicting whether there has been a change in the axle configuration of the vehicle.
Claims14
A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to handle an axle configuration of a vehicle, the axle configuration being at least indicative of a number of axles of the vehicle, the processing circuitry further being configured to:
- obtain vehicle condition data indicative of at least one load applied to the vehicle,
- obtain the axle configuration of the vehicle,
- estimate a current weight of the vehicle based on the obtained vehicle condition data and based on the axle configuration of the vehicle,
- obtain a previously estimated weight of the vehicle,
- based on a difference between the previously estimated weight and the current weight of the vehicle, predict whether there has been a change in the axle configuration of the vehicle, and
- in response to predicting that there has been a change in the axle configuration of the vehicle, adapt at least one of the following:
- one or more configurations, one or more control parameters, and/or one or more control models of the vehicle based on the updated axle configuration of the vehicle.
A computer-implemented method for handling an axle configuration of a vehicle, the axle configuration being at least indicative of a number of axles of the vehicle, the method comprising:
- by a processing circuitry of a computer system, obtaining vehicle condition data indicative of at least one load applied to the vehicle,
- by the processing circuitry, obtaining the axle configuration of the vehicle,
- by the processing circuitry, estimating a current weight of the vehicle based on the obtained vehicle condition data and based on the axle configuration of the vehicle,
- by the processing circuitry, obtaining a previously estimated weight of the vehicle,
- by the processing circuitry, based on a difference between the previously estimated weight and the current weight of the vehicle, predicting whether there has been a change in the axle configuration of the vehicle, and
- in response to predicting that there has been a change in the axle configuration of the vehicle, adapting at least one of the following:
- one or more configurations, one or more control parameters, and/or one or more control models of the vehicle based on the updated axle configuration of the vehicle.
