Motor vehicle load management system and method
First Claim
1. A vehicle load control system in which information on the cargo loading condition of a moving vehicle is obtained through communication between the moving vehicle and a control center via a communication network to provide centralized control of efficient cargo loading operation, wherein:
- the moving vehicle includes a radio section for receiving a load data acquisition request signal and transmitting via the communication network measured load data determined based on the volume of the luggage compartment of the moving vehicle using at least one distance sensor placed in the luggage compartment and location data indicating the location of the moving vehicle; and
the control center includes;
a storage for storing the measured load data and the location data of the moving vehicle received from the moving vehicle;
a communication control terminal for performing control to transmit the load data acquisition request signal to the radio section and store the measured load data received from the moving vehicle in the storage; and
a control terminal for analyzing the measured load data stored in the storage and determining the loading condition of the moving vehicle based on the analyzed data.

Abstract
A vehicle load control system, in which information on the cargo loading condition of a moving vehicle is obtained through communication between the moving vehicle and a control center via a communication network to provide centralized control of efficient cargo loading operation. A vehicle load control system provides centralized control of efficient cargo loading operation through communication between a moving vehicle (100) and a control center (120) via a communication network (110). The moving vehicle (100) includes a radio section (101) for receiving a load data acquisition request signal and transmitting measured load data determined by at least one distance sensor (105) in the luggage compartment and location data of the vehicle. The control center (120) includes a storage (124) for storing the measured load data and the location data of the moving vehicle (100) received from the vehicle, a communication control terminal (125) for transmitting the load data acquisition request signal to the radio section (101) and storing the measured load data received from the vehicle (100) in the storage (124), and a control terminal (122) for analyzing the measured load data stored in the storage (124) and determining the loading condition of the vehicle (100) based on the analyzed data.
