TIRE WEAR STATE ESTIMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
A tire wear state estimation system includes at least one sensor disposed on a vehicle and a CAN bus system. The sensor measures selected parameters associated with the vehicle and communicates data for the selected parameters through the CAN bus system, including a first set of data, a second set of data and a third set of data. A rolling radius estimator receives the first set of data and estimates a rolling radius for the tire. An acceleration slip estimator receives the second set of data and the estimated rolling radius to estimate the slip of the tire during acceleration. A braking slip estimator receives the third set of data and the estimated rolling radius to estimate the slip of the tire during braking. A tire slip analyzer correlates the acceleration slip estimation and the braking slip estimation and generates an estimated wear state of the tire.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING AND REMOVING ERRONEOUS TIRE PRESSURE VALUES
Systems and methods for detecting and removing erroneous tire pressure values are provided. The method involves operating at least one processor to: receive tire pressure data comprising a time series of tire pressure values; simplify the tire pressure data by removing at least some of the tire pressure values that satisfy a predetermined interpolation error threshold; detect, using a trained machine learning classifier, at least one erroneous tire pressure value in the tire pressure data, each erroneous tire pressure value being detected based on the erroneous tire pressure value and a plurality of lagging tire pressure values consecutively trailing the erroneous tire pressure value; clean the tire pressure data by removing the at least one erroneous tire pressure value; and transmit the tire pressure data to a fleet management system, whereby the at least one erroneous tire pressure value is not transmitted to the fleet management system.
Systems and methods for monitoring tire pressure
A tire pressure monitor system allows for customized configurations and a variety of intelligent alerts to increase usability and reliability over existing tire pressure monitor systems. A central receiver determines the alerts, rather than individual receivers, so that the tires can be monitored as a system rather than as individual tires. For instance, a Cross-Axle Alert is triggered when the pressure in a tire on one side of an axle is significantly greater than the pressure in a tire on an opposite side of the axle. Additional features include the use of Dynamic Reference Pressures, as opposed to static reference pressures, so that the alert parameters can be adjusted according to the current driving conditions. A robust user interface provides a user with a variety of views and screens and enables an administrator to adjust alert parameters while preventing a driver from adjusting the same parameters.
Pressure Supply Diagnostics And Controls And The Tire Inflation System Made Therewith
A method of determining tire pressure includes providing a control unit having a first pressure transducer. The control unit is in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir via an air supply circuit. A second pressure transducer is disposed at least partially within the fluid reservoir. The method also includes measuring a pressure of air in the air supply circuit utilizing the first pressure transducer and measuring a pressure of air in the reservoir utilizing the second pressure transducer. The method additionally includes determining a difference in the measurements of the first pressure transducer and the second pressure transducer and calibrating the second pressure transducer pressure measurement to agree with the first pressure transducer pressure measurement where the pressure difference is less than a predetermined value. The method further includes measuring a pressure in one or more tires.
