METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING CARGO WEIGHT

A method for monitoring cargo weights includes: receiving first remote data on whether to activate cargo weight monitoring from a remote server; determining whether a value of the first remote data indicates an activation of cargo weight monitoring; based on the value of the first remote data indicating the activation of cargo weight monitoring, receiving second remote data on a reference weight value for determining whether to warn an overload from the remote server; receiving first local data on a body weight of the vehicle and second local data on a cargo bay weight of the vehicle; determining a total weight of the vehicle by using the first local data and the second local data; comparing the total weight and the second remote data; and based on the total weight being greater than the second remote data, determining that the vehicle is overloaded.
