Methods and systems for electric park brake activation based on a tire change

Methods and systems are provided for controlling a park brake of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: evaluating tire pressure data associated with at least one tire of the vehicle; and in response to the evaluating, selectively generating a park brake control signal to activate the park brake of the vehicle.

COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE, VEHICLE, METHOD TO ADJUST A BRAKE PRESSURE, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

A computer system for a vehicle comprising an electronic brake system, the computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to receive a wheel temperature of at least two wheels of the vehicle, from temperature sensors located on the at least two wheels; calculate an average wheel temperature from the received wheel temperatures; for each wheel temperature, determine a wheel temperature difference; the processing circuitry being configured to, if the electronic brake system is activated and a wheel temperature difference of one given wheel is strictly above a temperature difference threshold, reduce a brake pressure applied to the given wheel by the electronic brake system and increase a brake pressure applied to the other wheel by the electronic brake system to maintain a demanded brake pressure constant on the wheels.
