Abstract: A method for monitoring a tire condition includes the following steps: sense a rotational speed of a tire of a moving vehicle; when the sensed rotational speed reaches a predetermined rotational speed range, obtain a condition of the rotating tire through at least one sensor to generate a piece of first condition data; compare the first condition data with a plurality of pieces of pavement feature data to obtain the corresponding one; process with the obtained piece of pavement feature data and the first condition data to filter a pavement feature out of the first condition data, generating a piece of second condition data; determine whether the condition of the tire is abnormal based on the second condition data; and send out a warning message when the condition of the tire is determined as abnormal Whereby, the road security is improved.

Abstract: A wheel assembly position identifying apparatus includes transmitters, each of which is provided in one of wheel assemblies and includes a transmission section and a control section, and a receiver, which includes a receiving section, a measuring section, and a wheel assembly position identifying section. The wheel assembly position identifying section is configured to detect, more than once, a rotational position of each wheel assembly at which the RSSI has an extreme value, for each position detecting signal received during one rotation of the wheel assembly, and identify the position of the wheel assembly in which the corresponding transmitter is provided based on variation of the rotational position of the wheel assembly at which the RSSI has the extreme value.

Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring device for a wheeled vehicle that is capable of detecting vehicle motion from the output of a pressure sensor. The device determines from the output signal an indication of the power of the signal, for example the variance of the signal, and detects if the vehicle is stationary or in motion depending on the determined indication of power. The device may determine that the vehicle is in motion if the determined indication of power exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: An angular position is determined for an electronic module fixed to the inner face of the tread of a tire fitted to a wheel of a vehicle. A sensor for measuring the radial acceleration of the wheel is integrated into the electronic module, and a variation of the radial acceleration is detected that corresponds to a position of the electronic module when it contacts the ground. This variation is used to determine a frame of reference defined by an origin and a reference unit corresponding to an angular sector of the tire having a length is shorter than a mean length of the footprint of the grounded tire, in order to determine angular positions of the electronic module in the frame of reference.

Abstract: A method is provided for real-time monitoring of tire pressure, wherein the pressure value determined by use of a pressure sensor in the tire is transmitted by an electronic wheel device, without the use of a trigger transmitter fixed on the vehicle, by radio, in short transmission intervals, to a monitoring device installed in the vehicle, only if, at least when the vehicle is not moving, the value is outside a prespecified normal range. When the vehicle is not moving, the electronic wheel device transmits a signal suitable for a system monitoring function, at certain time intervals and, using the same time frame or a whole-number fraction or multiple thereof, carries out a measurement of the tire pressure. The signal has a short transmission duration on the order of 25 μs to 500 μs.

Abstract: A method for operating a tire pressure monitoring unit for monitoring pneumatic tires of a vehicle includes where a pressure measurement is taken at regular intervals using a pressure sensor and the pressure information is transmitted wirelessly at larger intervals by a transmitter. A control unit checks whether a pressure change exceeding a threshold value has occurred, and, if so, pressure measurements are taken at shortened intervals and the transmission activity is increased. The control unit uses a first threshold value for the pressure change in the case of a stationary vehicle and uses a second threshold value, which differs from the first threshold value, for the pressure change in the case of a moving vehicle. The control unit, by evaluating a signal of an acceleration sensor of the tire pressure monitoring unit, establishes whether the first threshold value or the second threshold value is used.
