Abstract

The invention relates to an inertial safety warning system for tankers. Primarily, a tanker body of a tanker is loaded with liquid, and the overall weight of the tanker is input into a memory unit of a warning device. When the tanker body is pulled to move by the front of the tanker, a gyroscope disposed in a detection device will continue to sense the direction angle of the tanker body, a G-sensor will continue to sense the acceleration value of the tanker body, and a level sensor will continue to sense the level changes of the liquid loaded in the tanker body. Then the sensing signals will be calculated and processed by a computing unit to calculate the thrust and the centrifugal force borne by the tanker body, and the thrust and the centrifugal force will be shown on a driver’s seat immediately to let the driver know. Thus when the driver takes an emergency brake or turning in the front of the tanker, the driver can learn the offset status of the tanker body to do an appropriate response to reduce traffic accidents and increase the safety when driving, so as to increase the practicality and efficiency for the whole implementation.

Description

Tank truck inertial safety warning system and method

The present invention relates to a tank truck inertial safety warning system and method, in particular to a method that can instantly calculate the thrust and centrifugal force that the tank body of the tank truck bears, and it is displayed on the driver's seat in real time to let the driver know that When the front of the car brakes or turns in an emergency, it can immediately let the driver know the offset state of the tank body of the tank, and it is convenient for the driver to make an appropriate response immediately to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents and increase the safety on the road.
