Abstract:
A safety insert designed to be mounted in an assembly comprising a tire and a rim of a vehicle and device for detecting the bearing of the tire on an insert, so that the insert generates signals oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire and rim assembly and so that the device detects and analyzes the vibrating signals of the chassis of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A method of detection of a run-flat condition of a vehicle tire, said tire being mounted on a wheel, wherein: a quantity f(α, t) is sensed, which varies which the angular displacement of the wheel in time; measuring signals are elaborated, which vary with the angular speed of the wheel dα(t)/dt; a quantity characteristic of the dispersion of measuring signals is calculated; an alarm is set off when the characteristic quantity satisfies a given ratio.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for monitoring the physical integrity of a tire. The system and method include measuring a signal proportional to the speed of rotation of the wheel and calculating a harmonic signal of the round of wheel (e.g., equal to the energies of the harmonics of this signal), then comparing the result with a threshold and activating an alarm when over-passing this threshold.

Abstract:
When the tire reaches a limit of wear level, tire wear indicators generate an acoustic signal by knocking the ground. Magnetic, optical and mechanical versions exist.A detector made of a microphone located under the vehicle and a processing central unit switches on a warning included in the dashboard.In a more sophisticated version, the detector recognizes the incriminated wheel using the phase of the acoustic signal and the information from the ABS™. Application to the detection of the decay of a tire, or any other type of wear surface such as pad, or similar, and to the detection of the presence of snow chains or spikes.
