    摘要: The present invention provides an Active Tire Auto-Location systems for tire pressure monitor sensors and an operating method. The system includes a host, wheel axle rotation detection devices and tire pressure monitor sensors. By allowing the wireless tire pressure detector to receive and compare the rotation information of a toothed ring from the wheel axle rotation detection device and the tire rotation information from the wireless tire pressure detector, each wireless tire pressure detector can identify which wheel axle rotation detection device that corresponds to it. At the same time, the tire position where each wireless tire pressure detector is situated can also be determined. Compared to prior art, it is still possible for the present invention to determine the tire position where each wireless tire pressure detector is situated, without the need for additional modification to the host, thus significantly reducing the inconvenience in replacing tire pressure monitor sensors.

    摘要: A method of determining a left or right side installation position of a trailer wheel of a trailer connected to a tow vehicle. A number of rotations of the trailer wheel is determined using an acceleration sensor, and a number of rotations of a left side tow vehicle wheel and a right side tow vehicle wheel is determined using an ABS sensor or ESP sensor of the left side tow vehicle wheel and the right side two vehicle wheel, respectively. A first correspondence value between the number of rotations of the trailer wheel and the number of rotations of the left side tow vehicle wheel is determined. A second correspondence value between the number of rotations of the trailer wheel and the number of rotations of the right side tow vehicle wheel is determined. A left side or right side installation position of the trailer wheel is determined based on the first correspondence value and the second correspondence value.

    摘要: A tire position registration system includes a receiver that estimates, from a data group of axle rotation information of each of axles obtained for each valve ID, a parent population of the axle rotation information of each of the axles. The receiver sets a synchronized wheel tolerance region, which functions as an index for determining validity of the corresponding axle rotation information, for each parent population based on a population mean that is a mean of the parent population. The receiver specifies the tire position by determining whether or not the axle rotation information obtained for each valve ID is included in the synchronized wheel tolerance region of the corresponding parent population and specifying the axle rotating in synchronization with the tire corresponding to the valve ID.

    摘要: A tire pressure monitor sensor is disclosed. The sensor includes a wireless transmitter and a processing unit. The processing unit provides a time trigger signal within a measurement period and triggers a wireless transmission of a reference signal indicating an occurrence of the time trigger signal to a remote unit. The tire pressure monitor sensor is configured to derive, based on a plurality of acceleration measurement samples within the measurement period, information indicting at least one rotation property of a tire. The tire pressure monitor sensor is further configured to wirelessly transmit the derived information to a remote unit separate from the reference signal.

    摘要: A tire-pressure information device should receive wheel information within a demanded detection time. A transmission controller of a sensor unit transmits wheel information as a radio signal at the timing when the turning position θ of the sensor unit detected by an acceleration sensor arrives at the transmission setting location α after 1 minute has passed since the last transmission of the wheel information. This transmission setting location α is set to a turning position which is advanced or retarded a setting adjustment angle Δα (for instance, 146 degree) set to a value which is not a divisor of 360, with respect to the turning position θ when the last wheel information is transmitted last time.

    摘要: The wheel locations for wireless tire pressure monitoring sensors are automatically learned by comparing the timing of sensor message transmissions to directly measured wheel rotation, such as from an anti-lock brake system. In order to synchronize the data to be detected and compared across a distributed electronic system, first timestamps are applied to RF sensor messages upon reception in a receiver. Second timestamps are applied to decoded sensor data in the receiver when transmission of the data and the first timestamps to a control module begins. The control module applies third timestamps upon reception by the control module. The control module calculates sensor message times by subtracting a difference of the first and second timestamps from the third timestamp.

    摘要: A tire position determination system including tire pressure detectors respectively attached to tires, axle rotation detectors respectively corresponding to axles, and a receiver located on a vehicle body. Each tire pressure detector detects when reaching a specific position on a rotation trajectory of the corresponding tire and transmits a radio wave including the tire ID. An ID temporary registration unit temporarily registers tire IDs to the memory that are received from the tire pressure detectors existing in a signal receivable area of the receiver. An ID registration acquires axle rotation information from each axle rotation detector whenever receiving the radio wave from each tire pressure detector, and specifies a tire ID of a tire that rotates in synchronism with rotation of each axle to determine the tire position of the tire.
