Abstract

With the continuous development of road infrastructure and increased business trade, the transportation of goods has witnessed a significant surge. The rapid expansion in the transportation sector has given rise to a significant problem of excessive loads being carried by vehicles. This issue of overloading not only jeopardizes the safety of truck drivers but also poses a threat to the well-being of other drivers and pedestrians.. To address this problem effectively, a proposed solution is the implementation of a web-based tracking system. By utilizing load sensors and a GSM model with an automatic engine lock system, this study presents a vehicle loading monitoring detection system. The system detects instances of vehicle overloading and promptly alerts the vehicle owner or road safety officer. The circuit design and simulation are carried out using Proteus software, while Arduino software is employed for programming. The microcontroller assumes the role of the main processing unit, while the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) module functions as the communication interface in the system. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is employed to provide real-time status updates of the vehicle, and an alarm buzzer is triggered upon detection of overloading. Additionally, the system incorporates an automatic engine locking feature. This innovative model aims to revolutionize the transportation industry in India, significantly reducing the frequency of road accidents and minimizing wear and tear on the country's roads, thereby extending their lifespan.
