Abstract
A system for monitoring inclination of a vehicle is disclosed, wherein the system comprises a clinometer in communication with a computer. The clinometer is configured to measure at least one inclination angle of the vehicle and send an electrical signal representing the at least one inclination angle to the computer. The computer is configured to transform the signal back into the at least one inclination angle and present a graphical display. The graphical display comprises at least one representation of the vehicle which rotates in real-time as the at least one inclination angle changes.
