A method for processing inflation defects of a tyre of a vehicle is disclosed, the tyre being equipped with sensors for measuring the pressure and the temperature of the internal cavity of said tyre. The pressure and the temperature of the internal cavity of the tyre are measured periodically and, as soon as an inflation defect of a tyre is detected, an alert is signalled to the driver of the vehicle, in which there is also transmitted to the driver of the vehicle a maximum speed setpoint: which, when the measured inflation pressure of the tyre is greater than or equal to a first inflation pressure threshold value p.sub.1, is a first maximum speed setpoint value V.sub.1; and which, when the measured inflation pressure of the tyre is less than said first pressure threshold value p.sub.1 and greater than or equal to a second pressure threshold value p.sub.2, decreases as a function of said measured inflation pressure of the tyre.

Monitoring vehicles comprising track systems or tires to obtain information regarding the vehicle, including information regarding the track systems or tires, such as an indication of a level of wear, a rupture like a break, a puncture, chunking, de-bonding, etc., which can be used for various purposes, such as, for example, to convey the information to a user (e.g., the operator); control the vehicle (e.g., a speed of the vehicle, operation of a work implement, etc.); transmit the information to a remote party (e.g., a provider such as a manufacturer or distributor of the track systems or tires); etc.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for using neural networks to ensure the braking capabilities of articulated vehicles are adapted to prevent jackknifing. A system can receive operational parameters associated with both a vehicle and a trailer being towed by the vehicle. The system can also identify a current surface condition and predict, using a neural network, road conditions for a portion of the road which the vehicle is approaching. When distinctions between current and predicted, future conditions are defined, and the system can cause modification of the operational parameters of the vehicle and/or the trailer.

A component life prediction system configured to predict the remaining life of a consumable component installed on an aircraft. The system includes a processor configured to: receive wear information indicative of a current wear state of the component; receive schedule information indicative of a future flight schedule for the aircraft; and determine the remaining life of the component based on the received wear information and the received schedule information.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for tire pressure monitoring for vehicle park-assist. An example vehicle includes tires, pressure sensors, and a controller. The controller is to identify a target position within a parking spot for park-assist, determine a tire index based on tire pressure measurements, and identify whether the tire index is within a low range, a caution range, or a normal operating range. The controller also is to adjust, responsive to the tire index being within the caution range, the target position to facilitate access to one of the tires having low pressure.

A tire system includes a tire-side device and a vehicle-body-side system. The tire-side device may be attached to a tire included in a vehicle. The vehicle-body-side system may be attached to a body of the vehicle. The tire-side device may output a detection signal corresponding to each of a plurality of types of detection targets. The tire-side device may perform processing of the detection signal and generate the data related to the detection target. The tire-side device may perform bidirectional communication with the vehicle-body-side system and transmit the data to the vehicle-body-side system. The vehicle-body-side system may perform bidirectional communication with the tire-side device and receive the data. The vehicle-body-side system may acquire the detection result for the detection target based on the data.

Method for updating at least one vehicle model parameter and at least one tire parameter in at least one chassis control unit of a vehicle, based on tire sensor information collected by a tire sensor placed on a tire. The method includes the steps of: collecting tire sensor information; updating the at least one vehicle model parameter based on updating at least one tire parameter, updating one tire parameter being based on the tire sensor information.

The tire state detecting device includes a calculating unit that calculates an acceleration difference of the gravitational acceleration value acquired at a first acquiring angle and the gravitational acceleration value acquired at a second acquiring angle; a storage unit that stores a correction formula defined in advance based on an angular difference between the adjacent acquiring angles and an angular difference of the first acquiring angle and the second acquiring angle, and corrects the first acquiring angle to an angle determined in advance from the acceleration difference; a transmission unit that transmits a transmission signal including information indicating the angle determined in advance in addition to information indicating the state of the tire; and a control unit that causes the transmission signal to be transmitted to a wheel position specifying device.
