Predicting tire imbalance and/or wheel misalignment
An exemplary method includes vehicle-mounted sensors continuously detecting vehicle speed and vehicle tire and steering vibrations; a processor implementing a machine-learning program that continuously monitors signals from the vehicle-mounted sensors and compares detected vehicle tire and steering vibrations to upper bounds corresponding to detected vehicle speed; and the processor alerting a vehicle driver that wheel or tire service is required based on the detected vehicle tire and steering vibrations exceeding the upper bounds. An exemplary apparatus includes a vehicle; tires mounted to the vehicle; a speed sensor mounted to the vehicle; a vibration sensor mounted to the vehicle; and a processor connected in communication with the speed sensor and the vibration sensor. The processor is adapted to implement any of the method steps above.
