The invention relates to a method for monitoring the loading position and the bearing force of an item to be transported on a loading surface in or on a vehicle, the item to be transported being secured by tensioning means, preferably tensioning belts, on the loading surface, in which method * on the loading surface there is provided a mat or substrate which comprises a plurality of sensors which can be defined two-dimensionally with precise positioning for detecting a first measurement variable which correlates with the bearing force acting on the mat, * the sensors and sensor devices interact with devices for transmitting, preferably wirelessly transmitting, the measurement variables to a central electronic computer unit in which the starting values and output values of the first measurement variables and their initial correlation with one another are stored, and thereafter at time intervals the first measurement variables are repeatedly detected again and stored, the respective current first measurement variables which can be defined with precise positioning with their starting values and output values and their current correlation with one another being compared with their initial correlation with one another, and, if predetermined threshold values or difference values are exceeded, an alarm is triggered.
