Abstract: In variants, the tire inflation system control method can include: determining a setpoint based on driving context for a vehicle; and controlling an inflator based on the setpoint. In variants, the tire inflation system can include a remote computing system and a set of wheel-end inflators mounted to the wheel ends of a vehicle and connected to the remote computing system, such as via a gateway local to the vehicle.
