Abstract: An on-board system for safety control in a vehicle, the vehicle including a plurality of axles and a plurality of load bearing units and wheels arranged on both sides of each of the axles and therefore on both sides of the vehicle, the system comprising (a) load sensors, each of the load sensors being associated with one of the plurality of load bearing units, each of the load sensors being for generating an input signal proportional to an actual load being imposed on its respective load bearing unit, thereby serving for measuring the actual load; and (b) a control unit, the control unit being in data communication with each of the sensors, such that the control unit collects the input signals, the control unit including (i) a first summing unit for summing the input signals and for generating a total load output signal being proportional to a sum of the actual loads imposed on all of the load bearing units; and (ii) a first comparator for comparing the total load output signal with a threshold total load val
