The present disclosure provides an onboard object measurement system for a vehicle, such as a lift truck. The vehicle may have one or more sensors incorporated thereon, such as within one or more load handling fixtures. Control circuitry associated with the vehicle and/or the sensors is configured to receive data from the first sensor corresponding to changes in force in the first axis, receive data from the second sensor corresponding to changes in force in the second axis, correlate the changes in force along the first and second axes, and to determine one or more of a direction of motion, a thrust, or a position of a center of gravity associated with the load based on the correlation.

A method at a sensor apparatus affixed to a transportation asset. The method includes calibrating the sensor apparatus by initiating a vertical impact at the transportation asset, measuring spring oscillation and creating a model of the transportation asset. The method further includes detecting, subsequent to the calibrating, an impact event at the sensor apparatus. The method further includes measuring spring oscillation due to the impact event at the sensor apparatus and using the measured spring oscillation in the model created during calibration to create a load mass estimate for the transportation asset.

A vehicle having powered door assist includes a plurality of powered doors, each powered door having an actuator for moving the door between closed and open door positions, and a plurality of sensors located on the vehicle for sensing objects proximate to the vehicle including one or more potential passengers expected to enter the vehicle and for sensing an obstacle within or proximate to a swing path of at least one of the plurality of powered doors. The vehicle also includes a controller determining an estimated weight of the one or more potential passengers, detecting expected height of the plurality of powered door with the estimated weight added to the vehicle, detecting height of a sensed obstacle within the swing path of one of the powered doors and determining whether the expected height of the one powered door will interfere with the sensed obstacle in the swing path.

The present invention provides a flying apparatus that can accurately measure a weight of a transported objected in a simple configuration. The flying apparatus 10 includes rotors 11, motors 12, a flight sensor 13, an electric power conversion unit 14, and a computation control unit 15. The flight sensor 13 measures physical quantities acting on a fuselage base portion 16. The computation control unit 15 generates instruction signals based on the physical quantities to cause the fuselage base portion 16 to be at a predetermined position in a predetermined attitude. The electric power conversion unit 14 adjusts amounts of electric power supplied to the motors 121 and the like based on the received instruction signals. Moreover, the computation control unit 15 calculates an estimated weight that is an estimation value of a weight of the transported object, based on magnitudes of the instruction signals.

A heavy goods vehicle includes a displacement calculator that calculates a displacement by multiplying an arc length per unit rotation angle of the outer circumference of a specified tire by the first physical quantity, a vehicle position estimator that estimates a vehicle position using the displacement, and a memory that stores a correlation between a second physical quantity corresponding to a loading weight and an arc length per predetermined rotation angle at the outer circumference of the specified tire. The displacement calculator refers to the correlation to calculate a current arc length per unit rotation angle at the outer circumference of the specified tire from the second physical quantity corresponding to the loading weight, and calculates the displacement by multiplying the first physical quantity detected by the rotation amount detector by the current arc length per unit rotation angle.

Systems and techniques for increasing the efficiency of a process of providing a resource by a resource provider are disclosed. In one example, a method detects a presence of a vehicle at a fuel dispenser, transmits an authorization request message automatically in response to detecting the presence of the vehicle, and automatically allows the fuel dispenser to dispense fuel to the vehicle.
