Abstract

A vehicle weight detection method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include calculating a first difference between a first expected weight of a vehicle and a first current weight of the vehicle based on On-Board Dash (OBD) input data, calculating a second difference between a second expected weight of the vehicle and a second current weight of the vehicle based on a spring-mass-damper mechanical algorithm using vehicle data received from a user device, a comparing circuit configured to compare each of the first difference and the second difference to a predetermined weight difference threshold value, and a location checking circuit configured to checks if a location of the vehicle matches a location in a list of verified weight change locations of a database if the comparing circuit detects at least one of the first difference and the second difference is greater than the predetermined weight difference threshold value.
