Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a transport vehicle control and monitoring system that provides automation and safety assistance to a driver while operating a transport vehicle by monitoring the loading and unloading process of goods, adjusting gear and pedal operations automatically, and verifying the driver’s alertness to ensure secure transportation of goods.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A transport vehicle is a heavy-duty motor vehicle used for carrying goods from one location to another. In long-distance freight transport, ensuring safe handling of cargo and secure vehicle operation becomes critical. Drivers are often required to operate vehicles continuously over long hours, navigate through congested roads, and ensure that loading and unloading of goods are conducted securely and legally. However, manual oversight of these tasks can lead to human error, unsafe driving behaviors, or even mishandling of cargo which results in road safety issues, damage to goods, or non-compliance with regulations.

[0003] In many instances, commercial transport vehicles face operational inefficiencies due to lack of automated systems that assist with real-time driving decisions and cargo monitoring. The driver may not be fully aware of weight distribution, overloading, or tampering during loading/unloading, especially in the absence of digital monitoring systems. Additionally, continuous driving without sufficient rest increases the risk of fatigue-related accidents. Present-day transport vehicles also lack intelligent systems that can adapt driving parameters based on current traffic or road conditions, leading to suboptimal fuel usage, increased wear, and potential safety hazards.

[0004] Existing transport vehicle systems are mostly focused on mechanical performance and navigation but fail to integrate intelligent automation to support the driver and regulate cargo integrity in real-time. The absence of systems to verify the driver's alertness, fatigue levels, or physical fitness before and during vehicle operation increases the risk of accidents. Moreover, gear shifting and pedal operations still largely rely on manual control, which may not always respond optimally in dynamic traffic scenarios.

[0005] US5680123A discloses a plurality of video cameras mounted on various location of a vehicle to detect and display objects not readily visible to the vehicle operator. In particular, video cameras are placed on each side of the vehicle and, preferably, on the rear portion of the vehicle. Each camera is connected to a display unit and/or a video recorder through a video multiplexer which is controlled by a main controller. The views from different cameras are displayed or recorded in response to the position of a turn signal control switch. Alternatively, the cameras can be activated when a vehicle alarm is triggered or when the vehicle is hit from the behind.

[0006] US20080297334A1 discloses a vehicle monitoring system is provided that is particularly useful for gathering data relating to noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). The system may include noise and vibrations sensors that sense the noise or vibration levels at various vehicle locations. The sensors generate an output signal that is analysed by a control unit. The control unit compares the output signal with a predetermined value and if the predetermined value is exceeded, the control unit stores the information. The control unit may also receive information from the engine control unit and store that information also. Information from the sensors may also be stored at predetermined intervals. The information may be downloaded to an output device for storing the data and building a database.

[0007] Conventionally, there exist many systems that are available and separately address aspects like route navigation, load detections, or driver alertness. However, these conventional systems lack in road condition monitoring, automated driving assistance, real-time cargo inspection, and driver health assessment, where transport safety, legal compliance, and cargo integrity remain inadequately addressed.

[0008] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to provide automation for transport vehicles by monitoring cargo activity, adjusting gear and pedal operations based on real-time monitoring, and evaluating driver readiness. In addition, the developed system also needs to ensure secure, safe, and efficient freight movement in compliance with traffic, safety, and operational standards.

[0025] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0026] The present invention relates to a transport vehicle control and monitoring system that is accessed for transporting goods securely and efficiently while maintaining automated supervision of the loading/unloading process. In addition, the system is also capable of monitoring the driver's health condition, while identifying real-time road and traffic conditions to adjust driving operations, and further notifying the authorities in case of safety violations, excessive driving, or unauthorized cargo handling, thereby ensuring compliance, reducing human error, and improving transportation safety and reliability.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, a rear view of a transport vehicle control and monitoring system and an inner view of a transport vehicle associated with the system are illustrated, respectively, comprising a monitoring unit 101 installed on a rear portion of a transport vehicle, the monitoring unit 101 includes a guiding rail 101a mounted on the top interior of the vehicle’s storage, an X-ray camera 101b movable along the rail, a counter proximity sensor 101c, and multiple load cells 101d, a gear shifting unit 201 mounted with a gear lever of the vehicle, the gear shifting unit 201 comprises a rectangular frame 201a mounted on the gear lever, multiple electromagnetic clamps 201b along its periphery, and an XY-gantry 201c with a plunger 201e and a three-finger tentacle gripper 201d.

[0028] Figure 1 and 2 further illustrates a pedal monitoring and control unit 202 disposed beneath pedals of the vehicle, the pedal control unit includes a horizontal plate 202a with multiple clippers 202b arranged using a toggle assembly 202c, a heads-up display 203 mounted in front of the driver, a set of overlapping plates 102 installed at the rear portion of the vehicle with a motorized slider 103, an inspection unit 204 installed within the vehicle, a speaker 205 mounted within the vehicle and a LED display unit 104 mounted at the rear portion of the vehicle, equipped with a sliding flap 105.

[0029] The system disclosed herein is installed with a transport vehicle and is developed to be utilized for ensuring that goods being loaded or unloaded are accurately monitored for compliance. The system includes a monitoring unit 101, which is installed at the rear interior of the transport vehicle to specifically designed to oversee the loading and unloading process of goods within the vehicle, ensuring safety, compliance, and efficiency. The monitoring unit 101 features a guiding rail 101a mounted along the top interior, which provides a stable track for an X-ray camera 101b mounted on a movable carriage.

[0030] The guiding rail 101a serves as a sturdy, precisely aligned track installed along the top interior of the vehicle’s storage compartment and provides a stable and linear pathway for the movable carriage that holds the X-ray camera 101b. The rail ensures that the camera 101b glides smoothly and accurately along a predetermined path, facilitating comprehensive scanning of cargo from start to end. Internally, the guiding rail 101a is constructed from durable materials to withstand repeated movement and vibrations during loading, unloading, and transit, maintaining alignment to ensure consistent imaging quality.

[0031] The X-ray camera 101b is capable of scanning cargo within the vehicle. When activated, it moves along the guiding rail 101a, capturing detailed radiographic images of goods inside the container. These images enable to verify the legality, safety, and integrity of the cargo without manual inspection. The camera 101b includes X-ray emitters, detectors, and digital processors that convert raw radiographic data into clear images. Its movement along the rail allows for a high-resolution scan of the entire cargo area, making it possible to detect contraband, illegal items, or improperly loaded goods efficiently and non-intrusively.

[0032] Alongside the camera 101b, the monitoring unit 101 incorporates a counter proximity sensor 101c functions as a monitoring component that continuously assesses the spatial relationship between cargo items and the vehicle’s interior or other objects. Internally, it employs ultrasonic sensing technology to detect the presence and distance of objects within its range. During loading and unloading, the counter proximity sensor 101c counts the number of items passing through or being placed in specific zones, ensuring the correct number of goods are loaded or unloaded to prevent collisions or improper stacking by providing real-time feedback on proximity, thereby contributing to a safer handling process and minimizing the risk of damage or misloading.

[0033] Additionally, the monitoring unit 101 includes multiple load cells 101d that are positioned throughout the vehicle’s storage area to monitor weight changes dynamically during loading and unloading operations. Internally, each load cell functions as a highly sensitive force sensor based on strain gauge technology. When cargo is placed on or removed from the load cells 101d, they measure the resulting deformation or strain, converting this mechanical change into an electrical signal proportional to the weight.

[0034] These signals are transmitted to a control unit of the system, which continuously tracks the total weight and detects any sudden or abnormal fluctuations. This real-time weight monitoring is crucial for verifying that cargo loads are within permissible limits, identifying shifts in weight distribution, and detecting potential anomalies such as illegal cargo or theft. Collectively, the monitoring unit 101 enable automated alerts or corrective actions to maintain safety, compliance, and cargo integrity throughout the transportation process.

[0035] A gear shifting unit 201 is mounted directly alongside the vehicle’s gear lever, designed to automate and optimize gear changes in response to real-time road and traffic conditions. Internally, the unit features a rectangular frame 201a that encases and supports the entire system, securely mounted onto the gear lever assembly 202c. Surrounding the frame 201a are multiple electromagnetic clamps 201b strategically placed along its periphery, allowing for a firm attachment to the gear lever or adjacent components, ensuring stability during operation and an XY-gantry 201c with a plunger 201e to enable automatic or corrective gear shifting.

[0036] The XY-gantry 201c that moves horizontally and vertically within its designated space. the XY-gantry 201c typically consists of two linear actuators, often driven by motors (stepper or servo), that move along two perpendicular axes. The plunger 201e capable of exerting force to engage or disengage gears automatically. Additionally, a three-finger tentacle gripper 201d attached to the gantry 201c allows for fine manipulation of gear components or levers if needed. The entire setup is controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI)-based imaging module 301 mounted at the front of the vehicle (as illustrated in Figure 3) that continuously monitors the vehicle’s surroundings, traffic flow, and road conditions through camera and sensors. Using this real-time data, the AI determines the optimal gear selection to enhance efficiency, safety, and fuel economy.

[0037] Based on the AI’s analysis, commands are sent to the XY-gantry 201c, which then positions the plunger 201e or the gripper 201d precisely to perform the necessary gear shift. For example, when the control unit detects uphill terrain or heavy traffic, it may shift to a lower gear for better torque, or shift higher in smoother conditions to optimize fuel consumption. The electromagnetic clamps 201b ensure that the entire gear shifting unit 201 remains firmly attached during these operations, providing stability and precision, thereby enabling the vehicle to adapt dynamically to changing road conditions, reducing driver workload and improving overall operational safety.

[0038] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a pedal monitoring and control unit 202, integrated beneath the vehicle’s pedals, serving as an interface that oversees and adjusts the operation of the clutch, brake, and accelerator in real-time. The pedal monitoring and control unit 202 features a horizontal plate 202a positioned directly beneath the pedals, designed to serve as a stable mounting surface for the multiple clippers 202b. The clippers 202b are arranged in a precise configuration using a toggle assembly 202c, which acts as a mechanical linkage that allows for quick engagement and disengagement of the clippers 202b, enabling smooth control over pedal movements.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, the toggle assembly 202c consists of interconnected pivot points and lever arms that facilitate the switching action allowing the clippers 202b to securely grip or release the pedal as needed. When the AI-based imaging module 301 assesses road conditions such as traffic density, incline, or obstacle presence it sends control signals to this pedal monitoring and control unit 202. The control unit then activates the toggle assembly 202c, causing the clippers 202b to engage with the respective pedals. For example, if the imaging module 301 detects the need for sudden braking or deceleration, the clippers 202b firmly grip the brake pedal, applying the necessary force. Similarly, for acceleration or clutch engagement, the clippers 202b adjust their grip accordingly.

[0040] An integrated Internet of Things (IoT) module integrated with the vehicle to provide connectivity and real-time monitoring capabilities. It continuously tracks the vehicle’s speed and compares it against predefined safety thresholds. If the vehicle exceeds the permissible speed, the control unit triggers alerts such as audio or visual warnings to notify the driver. Furthermore, it logs journey data, including the number and duration of stops or halts, to monitor driver rest periods and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

[0041] If the control unit detects prolonged continuous driving without adequate rest, then it activates voice alerts via an in-vehicle speaker 205 to prompt the driver to take a break and engaging the toggle assembly 202c to slow or stop the vehicle if necessary, thereby promoting driver safety and preventing fatigue-related accidents.

[0042] An inspection unit 204 is installed within the vehicle employs multiple sensors to assess the driver’s fitness for operating the vehicle, ensuring safety by detecting signs of fatigue or intoxication. The inspection unit 204 includes an infrared temperature sensor, an alcohol sensor and a pupilometer. Internally, the infrared temperature sensor plays a crucial role in measuring the driver’s body temperature. It works by emitting infrared radiation toward the driver’s skin, typically the forehead or wrist, and then detecting the amount of infrared energy reflected back. Based on the intensity of this reflected radiation, the sensor calculates the temperature without physical contact. An elevated body temperature may indicate fever or health issues, while a normal reading helps confirm the driver’s physical readiness to drive

[0043] The alcohol sensor functions by analyzing the concentration of ethanol vapors in the driver’s exhaled breath. When the driver exhales into the sensor, it detects ethanol molecules through chemical reactions that produce measurable electrical signals. These signals are then processed internally to determine the alcohol level present. If the detected ethanol concentration exceeds predefined safety thresholds, the control unit considers the driver intoxicated and triggers an alert, via a speaker 205 installed on the vehicle potentially restricting vehicle operation.

[0044] On the other hand, the pupilometer is an optical component that monitors the size and movement of the driver’s pupils to assess alertness, fatigue, or intoxication levels. It works by projecting near-infrared or visible light onto the driver’s eyes and capturing high-resolution images or videos of the pupils using sensitive cameras. The pupilometer analyzes pupil dilation, constriction, and movement patterns such as rapid changes or sluggish responses to evaluate the driver’s state of alertness.

[0045] Abnormal pupil behavior, such as excessive dilation or sluggish response, can indicate fatigue or impairment. If fatigue or intoxication is detected, the control unit generates an alert via the speaker 205, potentially restricting vehicle operation to prevent accidents. The speaker 205 is capable of producing clear and natural sound and is capable of adjusting its volume based on ambient noise levels. The speaker 205 consists of audio information, which is in the form of recorded voice, synthesized voice, or other sounds, generated or stored as digital data. This data is often in the form of an audio file. The digital audio data is sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC converts the digital data into analog electrical signals.

[0046] The analog signal is often weak and needs to be amplified. An amplifier boosts the strength to a level so that the speaker 205 drives it effectively. The amplified audio signal is then sent to the speaker 205. The core of the speaker 205 is an electromagnet attached to a flexible cone. These sound waves travel through the air as pressure waves and are picked by the user’s ear.

[0047] Meanwhile, the artificial intelligence-based imaging module 301 mounted at the front of the vehicle captures ambient visual data from the surrounding environment. The artificial intelligence based imaging module 301 is constructed with a camera 101b lens and a processor, wherein the camera 101b lens is adapted to capture a series of ambient visuals. The processor carries out a sequence of image processing operations including pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification by utilizing machine learning protocols. The image captured by the imaging module 301 is real-time images of the surrounding.

[0048] The artificial intelligence based imaging module 301 in communication with the control unit. The artificial intelligence based imaging module 301 transmits the captured image signal in the form of digital bits to the control unit. The control unit upon receiving the image signals compares the received image signal with the pre-fed data stored in a database and constantly determines traffic conditions and road signs and other environmental cues crucial for safe driving. This real-time visual allows the control unit to regulate the vehicle's driving behavior dynamically, including gear adjustments, pedal control, and alerting the driver to upcoming hazards or changes in traffic flow.

[0049] A heads-up display 203 is mounted directly in front of the driver, typically on the vehicle’s dashboard, designed to present critical information without diverting attention from the road. Internally, the HUD is connected to a GPS (Global Positioning System) module that continuously tracks the vehicle’s geographical location. The GPS (Global Positioning System) module consists of a receiver that communicates with the satellites to determine the exact location of the vehicle. The GPS (Global Positioning System) module constantly receives signals from the satellites and calculates the coordinates.

[0050] The GPS module works by receiving signals from multiple satellites orbiting the Earth. The GPS module uses the timing of these signals and trilateration to calculate the precise location of the vehicle. The control unit linked with the GPS (Global Positioning System) module processes the data received from the GPS (Global Positioning System) module and transmits the vehicle’s precise location data including the latitude and the longitude to the vehicle. The real-time location coordinates of the vehicle are then sent to the control unit.

[0051] When the vehicle crosses predefined geographical borders such as state or country boundaries the GPS module sends a signal to activate the HUD. Upon activation, the display dynamically presents location-specific data, including traffic rules, toll charges, speed limits, and regulatory updates relevant to the current jurisdiction. This real-time information helps the driver adapt to regional regulations seamlessly, enhancing safety and compliance without the need to consult external sources.

[0052] Additionally, a set of overlapping plates 102 installed at the rear portion of the vehicle installed with a motorized slider 103 that enables automatic deployment or retraction of protective covers over the cargo area. Internally, the motorized slider 103 contains a precise actuator that responds to signals from a weather database module, which is integrated with the GPS module to monitor current weather conditions along the vehicle’s route.

[0053] When adverse weather such as rain, snow, or storms is detected or forecasted, the weather database sends a trigger signal to activate the motorized slider 103. The plates 102 then slide over the cargo space, covering and securing the load against environmental elements. This automated process ensures that cargo remains protected from weather-related damage, maintaining its integrity during transit, especially in unpredictable weather conditions.

[0054] A LED display unit 104 mounted at rear portion equipped with a sliding flap 105 that conceals or reveals information displayed to external observers. Internally, the display is configured with an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader integrated into the sliding flap 105 assembly 202c. When an authorized individual, such as a customs officer or fleet manager, presents an RFID tag within the reader’s proximity, the RFID reader authenticates the individual’s credentials.

[0055] Upon successful authentication, the sliding flap 105 slides open or retracts, revealing vital information on the LED screen. This information includes driver credentials, route details, cargo load data, or security codes necessary for verification and compliance. If the RFID authentication fails or if an unauthorized person attempts access, the flap 105 remains closed, ensuring sensitive information remains protected, thereby controlling access to critical vehicle data, promoting operational security and authorized data sharing.

[0056] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the monitoring unit 101 as disclosed in the invention is installed at the rear portion of the vehicle, oversees the loading and unloading process. This monitoring unit 101 comprises the guiding rail 101a mounted along the top interior of the vehicle’s storage compartment. the X-ray camera 101b, movable along the rail, scans cargo to verify legality. Simultaneously, the counter proximity sensor 101c and multiple load cells 101d track entry/exit events and weight changes, thereby enabling real-time anomaly detection during cargo handling. At the front of the vehicle, the artificial intelligence-based imaging module 301 continuously captures ambient visuals, including road signs, traffic density, and lane boundaries. These visuals are processed through machine learning protocols to generate actionable data. Based on this data, the automatic gear shifting unit 201, mounted on the gear lever, dynamically adjusts the gears. The unit includes the rectangular frame 201a with electromagnetic clamps 201b to hold it securely in place. the XY-gantry 201c guides the plunger 201e and the three-finger tentacle gripper 201d, which together manipulate the gear lever in response to real-time driving conditions. Beneath the pedals, the pedal monitoring and control unit 202 ensures appropriate actuation of the clutch, brake, and accelerator. This pedal monitoring and control unit 202 consists of the horizontal plate 202a fitted with multiple clippers 202b, each integrated via the toggle assembly 202c to enable automated control. As road and traffic conditions evolve, the AI imaging module 301 instructs this unit to apply or release pressure on the respective pedals, thereby optimizing driving behavior in real time.

[0057] In continuation, simultaneously the inspection unit 204 monitors the driver’s fitness for vehicle operation. This inspection unit 204 includes the infrared temperature sensor to check body temperature, the alcohol sensor to detect ethanol vapors in the cabin, and the pupilometer to analyze pupil size and movement for signs of fatigue or intoxication. If abnormal parameters are detected, the inspection unit 204 generates the alert via the speaker 205 to restrict further vehicle operation. The heads-up display 203 activates when the GPS module detects the geographical border crossing. This display provides localized traffic rules, toll information, and regulatory updates specific to the new region. At the rear of the vehicle, the set of overlapping plates 102 controlled by the motorized slider 103 automatically covers and secures cargo upon detection of adverse weather conditions, determined via integration with the weather database module. For verification and access control, the LED display unit 104 is mounted at the rear, covered by the sliding flap 105. This display remains hidden until the authorized individual performs RFID authentication using the RFID reader, after which it reveals critical information such as driver credentials, route data, and cargo specifics. Furthermore, the Internet of Things (IoT) module constantly monitors vehicle metrics such as speed and rest intervals. If the vehicle exceeds predefined speed thresholds, alerts are triggered.
