Abstract

A weight management system for towing a vehicle comprising; a plurality of weight sensors for determining weight of the towed vehicle passing through one or more axles of the towed vehicle; a bending moment sensor for measuring a bending moment present on a chassis of the towed vehicle; and a computer processor for receiving data from each of the weight sensors and bending moment sensor and for processing said data to detect a condition whereby a weight of the towed vehicle falls outside of a predetermined weight condition and/or a bending moment present on the chassis exceeds a bending moment limit; wherein, the computer processor is configured to transmit a warning signal to a driver of the towed vehicle when one or more of said conditions is detected.
