Abstract

A method is provided for promoting compliance by a vehicle operator with a payload standard for a vehicle. The payload weight of the vehicle is determined. The payload weight is compared with the payload standard to determine if the payload weight is compliant with the payload standard. The operation of the vehicle is then limited if the payload weight is not in compliance.

Claims (10)

1. A method for promoting compliance by a vehicle operator with a payload standard for a vehicle, the method comprising:
determining a payload weight of the vehicle;
determining whether the payload weight is in compliance with the payload standard; and limiting operation of the vehicle if the payload weight is not in compliance.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of limiting operation of the vehicle includes at least one of limiting a transmission shift range and limiting an engine speed.
3. The method of claim 1, further including the steps of:
providing the vehicle operator with action instructions to gain compliance with the payload standard when the payload weight of the vehicle is not in compliance with the payload standard;
determining again whether the payload weight is in compliance with the payload standard at a predetermined time; and releasing the limitations on the operation of the vehicle if the payload weight is in compliance.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining whether the payload weight is in compliance includes providing a target payload and an overload setting and determining whether the payload weight is greater than the target payload plus the overload setting, and wherein the step of limiting operation of the vehicle includes permitting limited vehicle operation if the payload weight is greater than the target payload plus the overload setting.
5. The method of claim 4, further including the steps of providing a low-threshold value;
determining whether the payload weight is greater than the target payload plus the low-threshold value; and providing a warning event if the payload weight is greater than the target payload plus the low-threshold value.
6. A system for protecting a vehicle having a propulsion system and an engine, the vehicle being subject to a payload standard, the system comprising:
a payload monitoring system for obtaining a payload weight; and an on-board computer, operatively connected to both the propulsion system and the payload monitoring system and including information about the payload standard, wherein the on-board computer will permit limited vehicle operation when the payload weight obtained from the payload monitoring system indicates the vehicle is in non-compliance with the payload standard.
7. The system of claim 6, further including a payload reporting system, wherein the on-board computer sends a message indicating non-compliance to the payload reporting system.
8. The system of claim 6, wherein the on-board computer further includes a visual display element for providing an alert to a vehicle operator when the vehicle is in non-compliance.
9. The system of claim 6, wherein the information about payload standards is provided to the on-board computer via telemetry equipment.
10. A computer-readable medium including instructions for performing the method of any of claims 1-5, when executed by a processor.
