Internet of Things (IoT) is a new technology which has made human life easier for automation. There is a use of various sensors inbuilt in the systems for various automation purpose. These sensors play a vital role in detecting and hence alarming us about a particular consequence. In the present era, it has been noticed that everyone is indulged in money making without thinking about consequences. In the Transportation Industry, this practice has taken the shape of overloading. Although there are many rules, its effective implementation requires an organized system. Keeping a view on the current scenario, this paper proposes a set of ideas and measures to be adopted that measures the overload and alert and if it is ignored the vehicle information is forwarded to check-posts so that any severe accidents can be prevented coming their way. The overloading is detected with the use of Wifi Weight sensors and the collected data is compared with the data in the database corresponding to the probable paths to alarm about the overloading and if it is ignored then it would notify the concerned authorities.
