MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ANTICIPATING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS DURING TRANSPORTATION OF A CARGO OVER LAND

摘要

A monitoring system for anticipating dangerous conditions during the transportation of a cargo over land detects and reports instability and the risk of tipping of a cargo. This is accomplished by measuring, registering and analyzing the physical dynamics of a cargo transported over land, by a vehicle, and by generating and displaying in the driver's cabin of the vehicle anticipatory alarms specific to conditions of risk of instability and of tipping associated with the route via which the vehicle is travelling. These alarms are displayed in the cabin of the vehicle itself so that the driver can perform actions to reduce the condition of risk. The system has a modular configuration so that it can be installed in any vehicle.
