Abstract

A system for detecting the loading of a vehicle including at least one accelerometer in a first position and arranged in gravitational acceleration in the preferred direction may be used as a reference value for the accelerometer. The accelerometer related to detect the deviation of acceleration relative to said reference value, and said deviation is related to the loading of the vehicle.
