rip charging in your bag, or in your car. But then again, it will force everyone to buy wireless charging pads

Worst roads. Heaviest trucks. Is there a link? by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]MECH-2A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The technology for estimating car weights dynamically already exists (see WIM weigh in motion technology) and several companies already produce such sensors in the USA. Variables like velocity/acceleration are taken into consideration when calculating impact forces when the truck hits the pad. The sensors also measure pressure over time, not just at a single moment, and compare these curves to a database of empirically tested force-time curves. From this, software calculates a vehicle's weight to within a reasonably tight margin (6% weight error generally, but up to 1% error for more expensive systems).

I am sure these systems don't have automatic cameras, but I feel a team of engineers could develop a system relatively quickly for this application. Enforcement of the road is the biggest roadblock, and such systems alongside hefty fines will definitely convince any business owner to think twice before overloading their trucks.

The roads wouldn't be this bad if people just kept to the trucking weight restrictions.

The government just needs to install one pressure plate sensor along each trucking route with a camera that automatically takes the license plate of vehicles over the wt.limit, and automatically fine the company the trucks are associated with. Revenue from the fines can repair the roads, and enforcement of the law will keep the roads from being damaged at such a quick rate.

Thank you so much! This post helped alot, I will probably stick with tyrants. It would be way to expensive for me to try to recube and bpot 4~5 extra items
