Abstract

An electronic height indicator for a heavy goods vehicles (HGV) comprises a box including a microprocessor for attachment to a trailer, and a video display unit (VDU) for attachment in the tractor cab. A user is able to program the microprocessor with the trailer height and other data (e.g. date, origin and destination of load, content of shipment) via a computer. The microprocessor outputs the height data via vehicle cabling/wiring to the VDU screen to display this e.g. in metric or imperial units. This assists the driver in determining the maximum height of bridge or overpass the trailer can negotiate. The box may be fixed to the trailer headboard and may also include a micro display window (see figure 1), a printer port, a power input port and a battery. The indicator may cooperate with a satellite navigation system to automatically take the height data into account when calculating routes.

Description

Electronic HGV Height Indicator This invention aims to alleviate a problem which causes vast amounts of property damage, financial loss and inconvenience to persons not necessarily connected to the cause of the problem.
Every day, somewhere in Great Britain an HGV gets stuck under a bridge for lack of correct information being available or the info available being ignored.
Road transport vehicles over the height of 9'10" (3m) are required by law to have the means for displaying the overall height of the vehicle. The simplest of such indicators are mainly cards or plastic plaques slid into a holder with a window which allows the information on said card to be read. More advanced gadgets are adjustable without needing to remove and replace a card or plastic disc.
Such holders are normally attached inside the cab of the HGV, in a position where they can be easily read and the onus is on the driver to ascertain the correct overall height of the vehicle and change the display accordingly.
This necessarily requires the full attention of the driver to remember, before setting off, to check that the indicator reading corresponds to the trailer being towed or, if it does not, to amend it to the correct reading.
Transport firms now rely more and more on contracted drivers who are called in when needed, these driver checks can easily be forgotten, overlooked or even neglected.
Add to that the reality of "just in time" deliveries, which are prevalent these days, drivers who pick up a ready loaded trailer may well assume all is in order and set off without further ado.
The inventor set herself the task to reduce this problem to a minimum if not to alleviate it altogether.
Statement of the invention
An electronic height indicator for HGV 's, particularly of the articulated type, comprising two elements, a Box containing a micro processor programmable for creating and storing data and a VDU for displaying said data, which micro processor is to be attached to a loaded trailer and is capable of sending output to said VDU via the vehicle's wiring, and which VDU is designed to be placed in the cab of such an HGV in a position where it is easily readable.
The important problem with existing height indicators is that they are designed to be manipulated by the driver of the vehicle. This driver was as likely as not present when the trailer was loaded and prepared for transport, thus may not know its loaded height and is prone to make mistakes in determining it.
So the solution of that particular problem lies in ensuring that the height of the trailer is determined immediately after loading and the result is recorded in a way which ensures that it cannot be altered by anyone other than the person charged with recording it.
Thus, the device consists of Box which contains a micro processor which feeds an output device across which output device the processor sends data to said display device.
The Box is a sealed container containing said micro processor, said output device, an emergency power supply, a charger/transformer for said power supply and several connection ports.
The ports in the Box allow it to be connected to various peripherals, these may be: Input ports, standard computing input ports, to connect a power source, normally the vehicle power grid, the computer to program the micro processor.
Output ports, also standard computing output ports, for video display and printing, to connect a video port for the VDU, mounted in the cab, a printer port for an external printer, for printing the data stored on said micro processor.
The input programming port for connecting it to a computer which is loaded with bespoke software to enable the Box to be programmed with various data, specifically the overall height of the trailer the Box is attached to.
Other data which could be programmed in, are the date of loading, the origin and destination of the load and the detailed content of said shipment. In this way, the Box can act as a shipping log which can be down loaded at the load's destination.
The power port allows the Box to be connected to the vehicle's power grid, thus providing charging power for the emergency power source and supplying power to the processor.
The output ports allow a link cable to feed the required data to the cab to display the overall height information. This link cable may also carry the additional info to be retrieved at the destination and, if desired, connect a printer to print said shipping log, again at the destination of the load.
With this link cable all information stored on the Box can be accessed and displayed at a convenient location in or on the cab.
The Box may also have a little window in its front which may display the primary info stored in the processor, i.e. the height measurement, so that the programmer can check "in-situe" that the correct info has been inputted into the device.
The Box, once fully assembled, is permanently attached to the trailer, preferably in a protected space, such as behind a main chassis beam or on the headboard of said trailer. The trailer's power lines are specially adjusted for the use with the Box and show a connector to fit the power socket on said Box.
Once connected to the trailer's wiring, the processor is kept charged and the data is sent to the cab. Moreover, the Box contains an emergency power source, usually in the form of a button battery, which will preserve the information stored in the micro processor when the trailer is not connected to a cab. This battery will also be kept charged by the cab's power unit.
As stated above, the second part of the invention consists of a Video Display Unit (UDV) mounted in the cab of the vehicle. The VDU is wired into the cab's power lines, such that when the trailer is connected to the cab's power lines, the VDU is powered and a connection is established with the Box on the trailer.
Certain Satellite Navigation system providers already incorporate "low bridge" information into their devices. If such a Satellite Navigation system is available, the information from the VDU could be fed into the Satellite Navigation system, thus enabling the guidance device to avoid bridges which the trailer will not pass under.
The invention is put in action the following way. At the loading yard the trailer is fully loaded and prepared for collection. The shift foreman, or any appointed person, measures the total height of the laden trailer with the wheels on the ground and the load in the position it will take when the cab is attached.
This is entered into the computer in the yard and then transferred to the Box on the trailer, either by wireless or by wire plug in. At this time other data may also be transferred to the Box.
The responsible person then goes to check on the Box's micro display to make sure the correct measure has been entered. The trailer is then ready for collection.
When the cab arrives to collect the trailer, plugging the trailer wiring into the Cab power system, the Box is activated, converts the data to the units required, i.e. meters to feet & inches or vice versa and sends the thus obtained numbers to the cab VDU.
If a Satellite Navigation system is on board, which knows the height of the bridges on the route the Lorry should take, it then can choose a route avoiding any low bridges.
Even if such a system is not available, the driver is highly unlikely to miss the heights of the bridges his load has to pass under, since the large cab display keeps him or her aware of such problems.
At the destination, the receiving operator can download the entered data and make a check on route taken, time of departure from depot, the details of the load and whatever else was programmed into the box at the start of the trip.
The software used in the Box and the programming computer can be bespoke or even bought off the shelf, as there are many of such software applications readily available. The basic operating application is preferably an off-the-shelf application.
Further improving the safe passage under low bridges, the processor converts the "height" input in the Box to a "minimum bridge height" for the trailer to pass under, before the data is sent to the VDU in the cab. I 60
An optional upgrade to the described system could be for the whole to be functioning by wireless communication. The programming, the communication with the VDU in the cab and the downloading of the data at the destination could all be done wirelessly, thus alleviating fight with attaching cables to ports. However, it is advised that as a backup, the wiring should be in place for the eventuality of a breakdown of said wireless system.
Description of the drawings.
Figure 1 shows the rear part of the trailer highlighting the Box mounted on its chassis just in front of the trailer wheels. However, a better place to mount said Box might be on the trailer's headboard, out of the way of the weather. The Box is seen blown up for easier inspection.
The enlarged section shows the input and output ports on the Box and the micro display for checking the correct measurements have been loaded onto the processor before the trailer is connected to its cab.
Figure 2 shows the front of the trailer and the cab attached. The cab's power and hydraulic connector wires are clearly seen at the back of the cab. A connector on the front of the trailer chassis is the standard connector upgraded with the leads to the Box.
