Forensic analysis of weight and load sensor data from lorries – the forensic use of axle load and load sensors
Some commercial vehicles are fitted with sensors to measure axle load and load status; the data from these sensors is important for ensuring compliance with statutory weight limits and for the technical stability of the vehicle.
This data may be relevant from a forensic perspective in determining whether overloading or uneven loading could be a possible cause of the accident.

Typical areas of application

Once the relevant control units have been backed up, the available weight and load data are extracted and placed within the timeline of the event under investigation.
Why is the analysis of weight/load sensor data relevant in a forensic context?
Documented overloading or uneven load distribution can be of key importance as a technical explanation for an accident.
The documented loading history may also be of forensic relevance when it comes to verifying compliance with legal requirements.
