Project Summary

Problem statement

The road safety is the one of the most important factor. The overloading is the on of the most common factor of the road incidents. In our country most of the traffic incidents takes places due to the overloading of trucks and other loading vehicles. The proposed hardware will help us to keep the load under the limit and can helps us to increase the road safety.

Objectives (to be obtained)

· This hardware can helps us to reduce the road incidents and accidents.

·This hardware can detects the load of any vehicle in motion and also in static condition.
· The tool plaza will automatically identify the overloading vehicle.
· Helps us to increase the road life.
· This hardware helps us to identify overloaded vehicle.

Literature survey

Load cell is transducer which transforms force or pressure into electrical output. Magnitude of this electrical output is directly proportion to the force being applied. cells have strain gauge, which deforms when pressure is applied on it. And then strain gauge generates electrical signal on deformation as its effective resistance changes on deformation.[1] A load cell usually consists of four strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. Load cell comes in various ranges like 5kg, 10kg, 100kg and more, here we have used Load cell, which can weight upto 40kg[2]

Now the electrical signals generated by Load cell is in few millivolts, so they need to be further amplify by some amplifier and hence HX711 Weighing Sensor comes into picture. HX711 Weighing Sensor Module has HX711 chip, which is a 24 high precision A/D converter (Analog to digital converter).[3] HX711 has two analog input channels and we can get gain up to128 by programming these channels. So HX711 module amplifies the low electric output of Load cells and then this amplified & digitally converted signal is fed into the Arduino to derive the weigh
