Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus of estimating the weight of freight and a method thereof are disclosed to estimate the weight of freight loaded on a vehicle by using an existing tire pressure monitoring system provided in the vehicle. The apparatus of estimating the weight of freight according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a TPMS sensor for measuring the pneumatic pressure of a tire; and a controller for calculating a first contact area of the tire from a first pneumatic pressure of the tire measured by the TPMS sensor before loading freight, calculating a second contact area of the tire from a second pneumatic pressure of the tire measured by the TPMS sensor, and estimating the weight of freight loaded on a vehicle based on the first and second contact areas. 화물의 중량 추정 장치 및 방법이 개시된다. 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 화물의 중량 추정 장치는 타이어의 공기압을 측정하는 TPMS 센서; 및 화물을 적재하기 전에 상기 TPMS 센서에서 측정되는 상기 타이어의 제1 공기압으로부터 상기 타이어의 제1 접지 면적을 산출하고, 화물을 적재한 후의 상기 TPMS 센서에서 측정되는 타이어의 제2 공기압으로부터 상기 타이어의 제2 접지 면적을 산출하며, 상기 제1 접지 면적과 상기 제2 접지 면적을 기초로 차량에 적재된 화물의 중량을 추정하는 제어기를 포함할 수 있다.
