A method for an emergency response in the event of a loss of tire pressure of a transportation vehicle including detecting a tire pressure at a wheel of the transportation vehicle and detecting an angle of inclination on an axle of the transportation vehicle associated with the wheel, A transportation vehicle for autonomous driving.

The disclosure relates to systems, methods and computer program products for detecting tire pressure loss in tires of a vehicle. The system comprises a sensor, which is arranged at the vehicle remotely from the tires, mechanically coupled at least indirectly to a chassis of the 5 vehicle, and configured to detect a property indicative of tilting spatial movement of the chassis. The system further comprises a processing unit, which is communicatively coupled with the sensor, configured to receive sensor signals from the sensor, the sensor signals being indicative of tilting spatial movement of the chassis, and configured to detect a tire pressure based on the sensor signals. The processing unit is configured to detect a tire pressure loss responsive to the 10 sensor signals indicating a tilting spatial movement of the chassis towards the at least one tire.

A method and system for evaluating the reliability of data supplied by multi-function WFC sensors of tires of wheels of a vehicle for targeted applications, on the basis of the irregularities of the road, which use displacement data sent from the road handling adaptation equipment of the vehicle, enabling the variations in the road condition to be reflected. The system includes equipment for monitoring the wheel displacement data for adapting it to the variations of profile of the road on which it is traveling, in order to maintain a stable body position. The monitoring equipment is linked to the WFC sensors via a central processing unit which is capable of correlating data supplied by the WFC sensors and values of wheel displacement data supplied by the monitoring equipment for the purpose of weighting the values of at least one parameter obtained from the data delivered by the WFC sensors.

A computer implemented method for determining at least an effective rolling radius of a tire mounted on a heavy-duty vehicle is provided. The method comprises determining a measured distance between a predefined point of the vehicle and a ground plane supporting the vehicle, determining a loaded tire radius of a tire of said vehicle based on said measured distance, obtaining a pre-determined relationship between loaded tire radius and effective rolling radius for the tire, and determining the effective rolling radius of the tire based on the determined loaded tire radius and on the pre-determined relationship between loaded tire radius and effective rolling radius for the tire.

A first and second acceleration measuring devices are mounted on a rigid vehicle structure spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the vehicle. A first or second inclination variable is determined by the acceleration measuring devices and characterizes a longitudinal or transverse inclination of the vehicle structure relative to a predetermined horizontal plane in a first or second reference point assigned to the respective acceleration measuring device. Components of the first or second inclination variable during the journey of the vehicle are eliminated by an evaluation unit on the basis of a coincidence resulting from the travel speed of the vehicle and a direction-of-travel-related distance between the two reference points, to conclude, based on a remaining invariant component of the first or second inclination variable, that there is a loss of pressure in one of the tires.
