Abstract
These days, there are a lot of traffic accidents caused by trailers those transport containers. The major reason is inadequate position of the containers. Truck scale is usually used to measure weight of trailer with container. So, if that can measure not only weight but also position of the center of gravity, it is very useful for reducing traffic accidents. In this paper principle and method of measuring the center of gravity are introduced.
