The eAML detects and controls, in real time, crane overload without using boom stroke sensors and load cells, which are expensive items inevitable to existing AML systems, hence, being competitive in price. It replaces these stroke sensors and load cells that are used for the crane overload measurement with a set of mathematical formula and control logics that calculates the lifting load being handled under crane operation and the maximum lifting load. By calculating iterative them using only a pressure sensor attached under the derrick cylinder and the boom angle sensor, the mathematical model identifies the maximum descendible angle of the boom. The control logic presents the control method for preventing the crane overload by using the descendible angle obtained by the mathematical model. Both the mathematical model and the control logic are validated by rigorous simulation experiments using MATLAB on two case instances each of which eAML is used and not used, while changing the pressures on the derrick cylinder and the boom angle. The effectiveness and validity of the method are confirmed by comparing the outputs obtained by the controlled experiments performed by using a 7.6 ton crane on top of SCS887 and a straight-type maritime heavy-duty crane along with eAML. The effects attributed to the load and the wind speed are quantified to verify the reliability of eAML under the changes in external variables.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20216355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,8]],"date-time":"2020-11-08T19:03:37Z","timestamp":1604862217000},"page":"6355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Economical Auto Moment Limiter for Preventing Mobile Cargo Crane Overload"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Soo-Hoon","family":"Noh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Daihung Heavy Industries, Hongseon-gun 32280, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9789-3965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong-Seok","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science &amp; Technology, Division of Intelligent Robotics, Daegu 42988, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9127-2850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Ho","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science &amp; Technology, Division of Intelligent Robotics, Daegu 42988, Korea"}]},{"given":"Jae-Sang","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rich &amp; Time, Seoul 08389, Korea"}]},{"given":"Chang-Soo","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interdisciplinary Robot Engineering Systems, Hanyang University, Ansan 15588, Korea"}]},{"given":"Seung-Yeol","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science &amp; Technology, Division of Intelligent Robotics, Daegu 42988, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9205-3836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong-Eun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture, Civil, Environment and Energy Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegue 41566, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1052","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-199912000-00008","article-title":"Fatal injuries in the United States construction industry involving cranes 1984\u20131994","volume":"41","author":"Suruda","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
