Abstract
A vehicle-load-weight display system includes a weight calculating means 1 which obtains the load weight from output signals from sensors mounted in a vehicle, a display means 2 displaying the load weight obtained by the calculating means 1, and a display control means 3 controlling the display means 2 during a run so as to display the load weight obtained prior to the run. The weight calculating means 1 obtains the load weight from output signals provided by the weight sensors in the initial part of each period at constant intervals, and the display control means 3 decides whether the vehicle is running by a pulse outputted from a run sensor during each of multiple periods. A detecting means 4 detecting the start of loading and unloading works when a given time has passed after the vehicle stopped running. During the period from the detection of the start of loading and unloading works to the start of the vehicle running, the weight calculating means 1 calculates the difference in the load weights between the present period and the previous period, and moreover the display control means 3 makes the display means 2 display the present weight obtained by adding the difference in the load weights to the previously displayed weight.
