Vehicle loading safety system and a method for increasing safety during a loading event for a parked vehicle

A method for increasing safety during a loading event for a parked vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving, by processing circuitry of a computer system, from a parking brake subsystem, parking brake input indicating that a parking brake of the vehicle is currently engaged,
• receiving, by the processing circuitry, from a gradient determining subsystem, gradient input indicating a gradient of the ground on which the vehicle is standing, and comparing, by the processing circuitry, said indicated gradient with a predefined threshold gradient,
• determining, by the processing circuitry, based on the received parking brake input and the received gradient input, that the vehicle is currently parked in a slope at a gradient which is larger than the predefined threshold gradient,
• receiving, by the processing circuitry, from a load determining subsystem, vehicle load input indicating a value of the actual vehicle load, and comparing, by the processing circuitry, the value of the actual vehicle load with a maximum allowable load value,
• determining, by the processing circuitry, based on the received vehicle load input, that the value of the actual vehicle load exceeds the maximum allowable load value, and
• controlling, by the processing circuitry, based on the determination that the value of the actual vehicle load exceeds the maximum allowable load value, an activation of a safety action in order to reduce the risk of the vehicle starting to roll during the loading event.
