Standard value, then it is determined that it is light condition that the cargo of vehicle 91, which loads situation,;If D2 is substantially equal to the standard under fully loaded situation
It is worth and G2 is also substantially equal to the standard value being fully loaded under situation, then it is determined that it is full load condition that the cargo of vehicle 91, which loads situation,
If standard value and G2 that D2 is substantially equal under fully loaded situation are greater than the standard value under fully loaded situation, then it is determined that vehicle 91
It is full load condition not up to fully loaded in terms of weight that cargo, which loads situation,;
If standard value and G2 that D2 is approximately less than under fully loaded situation are also approximately less than the standard value under fully loaded situation, really

Cease G.The sensing process can sense process in real time, and therefore, the load-carrying variation of container 910 can pass through the 5th range information G
It embodies in real time.In one embodiment, as shown in figure 15, after first distance information change is D2 and is not further added by, the
Four sensors 410 start the multiple 5th range information G of sensing in predetermined amount of time (such as 10 minutes), can be to multiple five
Range information G progress calculates on a rough averagely, to obtain the 5th range information G2.
Step S1603 calculates the loading situation of the vehicle based on first distance information D and the 5th range information G.The step
Suddenly it can be completed in loading situation computing unit 12.In one example, it can detect in advance under known cargo loading situation
The standard value of corresponding first distance information D and the 5th range information G simultaneously stores it in loading situation computing unit 12, example
Such as, the standard value of D1 and D2 as shown in figure 15 and the standard value of G1 and G2 are obtained in advance and store it in loading situation
In computing unit 12.Loading situation computing unit 120 based on it is current obtain first distance information D and the standard value that obtains in advance into
Row relatively calculates, meanwhile, calculating, example are compared with the standard value obtained in advance based on current the 5th range information G that obtains
Ground substantially calculates the loading situation about weight information of vehicle 91 based on the 5th range information G;Therefore, of the invention
The cargo of embodiment loads condition monitoring device 100 can be to avoid individually determining the upper of loading situation from first distance information D
