Abstract :
The suspension systems of production automobiles and trucks are designed to support the comfort and safety of human occupants. The response of these vehicles to the road surface is a function of vehicle loading. In this research we demonstrate the automatic monitoring of vehicle load using an optical sensor and a speed bump. This paper investigates the dynamics of vehicle response and describes the software developed to extract vibrational information from video.
