Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product determine a health condition for the tires on one or more vehicles by performing an individual self-comparison and a peer-based comparison for each tire, where the individual self-comparison reduces variances between the plurality of tires on the vehicle, and the peer-based comparison reduces variances within each tire. Anomalies, such as severe leakage and tire inflations may be detected, and slow leakages may be predicted based upon historical data associated with the health condition.

Abstract: An anti-skid brake control system (9) for a wheeled vehicle has a conventional continuous source of pressurized hydraulic fluid, a hydraulically actuated wheel rotation braking device which responds via a wheel brake valve (11) to applied hydraulic pressure to apply a braking force to a wheel of the vehicle, and an operator actuatable control (10, 12, 39) for varying the supply of hydraulic pressure to the wheel rotation braking device. The system is responsive directly to the operator actuatable control (10, 12, 39) for determining the deceleration (14) currently commanded by the operator and further dynamically determines a maximum permissible wheel deceleration (47) at a given time. The operator controlled supply of hydraulic pressure to the braking device is overridden in the event that the deceleration (14) currently commanded by the operator exceeds the maximum permissible wheel deceleration.
