Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement of measuring devices on a semitrailer motor vehicle having a tractive unit, a semitrailer unit and a fifth wheel fastened to the tractive unit. An intermediate plate is disposed between the fifth wheel, the tractive unit and the semitrailer and is connected to the semitrailer. Measuring devices are disposed on the intermediate plate for measuring acceleration, tractive or braking forces and for measuring the weight of the semitrailer. The measured values are used to influence and improve the driving behavior of the semitrailer motor vehicle.
