A Framework of Truck Overload Intelligent Monitoring System

In this paper, we propose a systematic framework of truck overload intelligent monitoring system under the concept of internet of things (IOT) to solve the truck's ever-increasing serious overload problem in China. First the overviews of general concept of IOT and its Chinese version, Sensing China, are introduced to provide the background information. Next, the serious truck overload problem in China is explained in details including data summary of casualties and monetary cost caused by overload. Then, to solve the problem, we design a framework of intelligent system which can monitor truck's load information in real time. The proposed system includes the weight sensors installed in vehicles, wireless transformation device sending data to the GPS installed in driver's cab, and remote control terminal to receive and process the information sent by the GPS. The suggested system provides an effective approach to prevent truck overload during the transportation.
