DEVICE FOR CALCULATING MALDISTRIBUTION OF LOAD ON VEHICLE AND DEVICE FOR CALCULATING LOAD ON VEHICLE

摘要

A carrying weight computing apparatus serves to compute a carrying weight of a vehicle on the basis of the outputs from a plurality of weight sensor arranged apart from each other at least in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle. The carrying weight computing apparatus includes a deflective load setting unit for setting the deflection of load applied to the vehicle, and a carrying weight computing unit for computing the carrying weight on the basis of the deflection of load set by said deflective load setting unit so that the deflection of load and the carrying weight can be computed from the outputs from said weight sensors. The deflective load setting unit includes a correction function holding means for holding an output characteristic correction function corresponding to each said weigh sensor for correcting the non-linear characteristic of each said weight sensor into its linear characteristic, and output characteristic correcting unit for correcting the output from each said weight sensor in terms of the corresponding output characteristic correction function. The deflective load setting unit serves to compute the deflection of load in the vehicle width direction of the load applied to the vehicle on the basis of the corrected outputs from said weight sensors. <IMAGE>
