Roman Keller

Title: Roman Keller and Vehicle-Load Estimation Innovation.

Introduction

Roman Keller is an inventor associated with Denkendorf, Germany. His patent work addresses the estimation of a truck-trailer’s mass and center of gravity, using sensor data and vehicle suspension characteristics.

Latest Patents

Keller is credited with 1 patent: “Method and System for Estimation of Mass and a Center of Gravity of a Truck-Trailer.” The invention describes a system that uses image-sensor data to measure the distance between a wheel’s center point and the vehicle’s chassis spring when the vehicle is unloaded and when it is loaded. By comparing those measurements and accounting for the spring’s characteristics, the system estimates the load at each wheel. It then uses those estimates to determine the vehicle’s total mass and the coordinates of its center of gravity along the longitudinal and lateral axes relative to the front axle.

Career Highlights

Keller is associated with Torc Robotics, Inc. His patent reflects work on vehicle sensing and measurement methods that can help determine how a truck-trailer’s load is distributed.

Collaborations

The supplied information names Stefan Oexl and Sebastian Beckmann as Keller’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or describe particular collaborative contributions.

Conclusion

Roman Keller’s patent focuses on estimating a truck-trailer’s mass and center of gravity from sensor measurements and suspension characteristics, connecting his work with practical vehicle-monitoring technology.
