Vehicle mass determination arrangement for a vehicle within the surroundings of another vehicle, especially in front of it, whereby, based on optical recognition of the vehicle's number plate, its mass is determined from a database

摘要

Arrangement (3) for a motor vehicle (1) that permits determination of the weight of a vehicle (4) within its surroundings that has a number plate (8). The arrangement comprises an image sensor (6) for reading the number plate, a database (13) containing vehicle number plates and associated vehicle data and an evaluation unit for determining the mass of the second vehicle based on a correlation between a read in number plate and matching vehicle data stored in the database.
