Vehicle Payload And Load Distribution Calculator
Vehicle Payload And Load Distribution: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers gross vehicle mass rating (kg or lb), kerb mass (kg or lb) and wheelbase (m).
Vehicle Payload And Load Distribution Calculator is a planned calculator in the transport section of Super Calculator, covering vehicles and transport.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: gross vehicle mass rating (kg or lb), kerb mass (kg or lb), wheelbase (m), load mass and position (kg, m) and occupants (n).
Outputs: available payload (kg or lb), front axle load (kg), rear axle load (kg) and overload flags (label).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Payload equals gross vehicle mass rating minus kerb mass minus occupants; axle loads are found by moments about each axle, so a load placed behind the rear axle lifts weight off the front axle and can breach the front axle limit while the total remains legal.
