Abstract :
In speedy moving world, mainly accidents are occurring due to over loaded heavy duty vehicles. To meet the state of the art problem we have to develop a new setup with high accuracy, and cheat free mechanisms has to be adopted. Devices designed have to be even fast and convenient. The devices that are available in the market are much prone to errors. The electronic truck scale is much more applied to weighing measurement systems [1] in all walks of life. The main problem with that of the existing setup is that the fabrication and that the devices values could be easily altered. Owners of the heavy duty vehicles do such things for mere profit but the problem is that when the driver of the overloaded vehicle is not in a position to have control over the vehicle, which results in road accidents. A perfect system required to have a control over the problem, in proposed system, many cheating methods are analysed and anti cheating monitoring system of the electronic truck scale is designed. The added advantage of our setup is that the information about the accident is also sent o the owner and the nearby emergency centre using GSM and GPS. According to a survey made more than 73%of the highway accidents are due to over loaded vehicles and we assure that our proposal satisfies our requirements.
