Computer system and method for handling tension of at least one strap arranged for strapping cargo in a vehicle

1 . A computer system for handling tension of at least one strap arranged for strapping cargo in a vehicle, the computer system comprises processing circuitry configured to:

obtain cargo information about the cargo to be loaded in the vehicle;

obtain vehicle information indicating a loading capability of the vehicle;

determine, based on the cargo information and the vehicle information, a pack plan for how to pack the cargo in the vehicle, wherein the pack plan comprises a planned tension of the at least one strap when strapping the cargo in the vehicle;

determine to start loading the cargo in the vehicle using the planned tension;

obtain, from a tension sensor comprised in or associated with the at least one strap, information about a first current tension of the at least one strap when the loading is finished and before the vehicle drives;

compare the planned tension and the first current tension;

determine to initiate a first action when a result of the comparison indicates that the first current tension is different than the planned tension,

utilize information from the comparison between the planned tension and the first current tension to improve future determining of the planned tension; and to

utilize information from the comparison between the planned tension and a second current tension to improve future determining of the planned tension;

wherein the future determining of the planned tension is improved by using Artificial Intelligence and/or Machine Learning after a certain amount of cargo holds have been loaded in the vehicle.

2 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

obtain information about a second current tension of the at least one strap during driving and before unloading the cargo from the vehicle;

compare the planned tension and the second current tension; and

during driving and before unloading the cargo, determine to initiate a second action when the second current tension is different than the planned tension.

3 . The computer system of claim 2 , wherein the information about the second current tension is obtained from a tension sensor comprised in or associated with the at least one strap.

4 . The computer system of claim 2 , wherein the second action comprises to stop the vehicle.

5 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first action comprises one or more of:

to change the first current tension of the at least one strap such that it is substantially the same as the planned tension; and/or

to repack the cargo.

6 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the pack plan comprises information about one or more of the following:

a position of the cargo in the vehicle, wherein the position is based on one or more of: a cargo weight and/or an unloading order of the cargo and/or a fill ratio of the vehicle; and/or

a number of available straps; and/or

capability of the at least one strap.

7 . A vehicle comprising a computer system of claim 1 .

8 . A computer-implemented method for handling tension of at least one strap arranged for strapping cargo in a vehicle, the method comprising:

obtaining, by processing circuitry of a computer system, cargo information about the cargo to be loaded in the vehicle;

obtaining, by the processing circuitry, vehicle information indicating a loading capability of the vehicle;

determining, by the processing circuitry, based on the cargo information and the vehicle information, a pack plan for how to pack the cargo in the vehicle, wherein the pack plan comprises a planned tension of the at least one strap when strapping the cargo in the vehicle;

determining, by the processing circuitry, to start loading the cargo in the vehicle using the planned tension;

obtaining, by the processing circuitry, from a tension sensor comprised in or associated with the at least one strap, information about a first current tension of the at least one strap when the loading is finished and before the vehicle drives;

comparing, by the processing circuitry, the planned tension and the first current tension; and

determining, by the processing circuitry, to initiate a first action when a result of the comparison indicates that the first current tension is different than the planned tension,

utilizing, by the processing circuitry, information from the comparison between the planned tension and the first current tension to improve future determining of the planned tension; and to

utilizing, by the processing circuitry, information from the comparison between the planned tension and a second current tension to improve future determining of the planned tension;

wherein the future determining of the planned tension is improved by using Artificial Intelligence and/or Machine Learning after a certain amount of cargo holds have been loaded in the vehicle.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

obtaining, by the processing circuitry, information about a second current tension of the at least one strap during driving and before unloading the cargo from the vehicle;

comparing, by the processing circuitry, the planned tension and the second current tension; and

during driving and before unloading the cargo, determining, by the processing circuitry, to initiate a second action when the second current tension is different than the planned tension.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the information about the second current tension is obtained from a tension sensor comprised in or associated with the at least one strap.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the second action comprises to stop the vehicle.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the first action comprises one or more of:

to change the first current tension of the at least one strap such that it is substantially the same as the planned tension; and/or

to repack the cargo.

13 . A computer program product comprising program code for performing, when executed by a processing circuitry, the method of claim 8 .

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform the method of claim 8 .
