LOAD DEFLECTING DEGREE COMPUTING APPARATUS AND CARRYING WEIGHT COMPUTING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

摘要

A device for accurately calculating the load on a vehicle based on the outpu ts of a plurality of weight sensors arranged at intervals in at least the direction of the vehicle width is provided with a maldistributed load settin g means which sets the maldistribution of the load on the vehicle and a load calculating means which calculates the load on the vehicle based on the outputs of the weight sensors and the maldistribution of the load set by mea ns of the maldistributed load setting means. The maldistributed load setting means can be constituted of a device which is provided with, for example, a correcting function holding means which holds the output characteristic correcting function corresponding to the output of each weight sensor to correct the nonlinear characteristics of the sensors to linear characteristics, and an output characteristic correcting means which correct s the output of each weight sensor by using the output characteristic correcti ng function corresponding to each weight sensor. The maldistributed load settin g device calculates the maldistribution of load in the direction of vehicle width.
