A monitoring system is disclosed for use with a rolling chassis of a vehicle. The monitoring system may include a tire sensor configured to generate a first signal indicative of a current tire condition of the rolling chassis, and a load sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of an actual load placed on the rolling chassis. The monitoring system may also include a controller in communication with the tire sensor and the load sensor. The controller may be configured to determine based on the first signal a theoretical load that the rolling chassis is capable of supporting given the current tire condition. The controller may also be configured to make a first comparison of the actual load with the theoretical load, and to selectively generate a first alert based on the first comparison.

A method for detecting and managing an electrical phase loss condition in a climate controlled transport unit (CCTU) is provided. The method includes monitoring a generator phase signal outputted from a generator of the CCTU. The method also includes calculating, via a CCTU controller, a phase shift amount based on the generator phase signal. Also, the method includes detecting an electrical phase loss condition based on the phase shift amount.

A smart governor system that intercepts and adjusts throttle commands when certain criteria are met based on vehicle operations and a user-selected transmission mode. The governor, when engaged, reduces a throttle command in order limit engine and/or ground speed.

A vehicle includes a frame, a body supported by the frame, a prime mover mounted to the frame, at least one axle connected to the frame, a suspension system connecting the at least one axle to the frame, and a load sensing and control system including at least one load sensor connected to the suspension system and a controller operatively connected to the at least one load sensor and the prime mover. The controller being operable to calculate a vehicle loading factor before the vehicle moves and to prevent operation of the prime mover if the vehicle loading factor that exceeds a selected load threshold.

A rough terrain vehicle includes: a vehicle body; a state detector mounted on the vehicle body and configured to detect a state of the vehicle; a control target mounted on the vehicle body and operable during driving of the vehicle; an estimator mounted on the vehicle body and configured to estimate a margin for overturning of the vehicle or for load on the vehicle based on a result of detection by the state detector; and a controller mounted on the vehicle body and configured to, when the vehicle is traveling, control the control target to allow the margin estimated by the estimator to exceed a predetermined level.
