This invention comprises an onboard load weight measurement system for vehicles, with air, mechanical or both suspensions, comprising a master weight measurement module with up to eight communication channels, which can be interconnected to slave modules, with up to eight communication channels, by cable or wireless via data transmission/reception modules, which are connected to sensors that vary between different sensors for air suspension installed in the air lines of the air suspension through a “T” and/or, for mechanical suspension, rectilinear displacement transducer with inductive or resistive effect sensors, preferably fixed in pairs on each vehicle axle, one at each end of the axle, between the chassis and the mechanical suspension, having diverse fixing configurations. The system calculates the individual weight for each vehicle wheel, vehicle axle extremity, vehicle axle side, vehicle axle or a group of vehicle axles, as well as its tare, net load or total gross weight loaded.
ONBOARD LOAD WEIGHT MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES with air or mechanical suspension, or both, characterized for comprising:
MULTIPOINT AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION SYSTEM, characterized by the fact that it comprises a calibration process for the onboard load weight measurement system for vehicles by using ground scales (1), data transmission/reception modules (3) or cables, onboard load weight measurement system modules (2) and sensors installed in the vehicle (17)(18), with the possibility of storing up to 10 (ten) calibration points in each module channel (2).
