Previous methods of determining vehicle and/or trailer weight and weight distribution did not adequately account for vehicle characteristics, driving behavior, external conditions, and/or other factors that affect weight and weight distribution calculations. In reality, the boundaries and/or lines may be unobservable, blended, and/or irregular. Although the figures show layers and regions with clean lines and boundaries, some or all of these lines and/or boundaries may be idealized. Stating that any part is in contact with another part means that there is no intermediate part between the two parts. As used in this patent, stating that any part (e.g., a layer, film, area, region, or plate) is in any way on (e.g., positioned on, located on, disposed on, or formed on, etc.) another part, indicates that the referenced part is either in contact with the other part, or that the referenced part is above the other part with one or more intermediate part(s) located therebetween. In general, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawing(s) and accompanying written description to refer to the same or like parts.

Additionally, the knowledge provided to the driver by the weight and weight distribution information reduces instances of trailer sway, handling degradation, decreased stopping distance, decreased steering performance, and other reductions in driving performance. Vehicle and/or trailer weight and weight distribution information indicates when a vehicle is overloaded, a quantity of material being hauled, how the weight is distributed (e.g., between left and right sides of the vehicle), rate at which materials are being removed from the vehicle, how much more material can be carried by the vehicle, and/or other information that the driver desires when hauling materials. BACKGROUNDĭrivers desire to know vehicle weight and/or vehicle weight distribution of a vehicle to improve loading practices and vehicle handling. This disclosure relates generally to vehicle weight and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus to determine vehicle weight information based on ride height.
