Abstract: A system compensates a drive over reader tire pressure measurement. The system includes a drive over reader, which includes a sensor array. A pressure indication is determined for each tire in a group of tires by the drive over reader. A recommended cold pressure for the tires is provided. An adjusted recommended pressure for the tires is determined from the pressure indication and the recommended cold pressure, and accounts for temperature effects on the tires. An adjusted low pressure threshold is set at a predetermined level below the adjusted recommended pressure. A notice is generated by the drive over reader for each tire that includes an adjusted recommended pressure below the adjusted low pressure threshold.

Abstract: A system evaluates the pressure of at least two tires supporting a vehicle. The system includes a drive over reader, which includes a sensor array. A first pressure indication for a first tire is determined by the drive over reader, and a second pressure indication for a second tire is determined by the drive over reader. A maximum differential threshold is provided, and a pressure differential is determined by comparing the first pressure indication to the second pressure indication. A notice is generated by the drive over reader when the pressure differential exceeds the maximum differential threshold.

Abstract: A method of purchasing tires includes providing a web site stored on a web server accessible from a computing device. The web site displays a page for a consumer, including instructions for locating a placard containing tire information, a request to take a photo of the placard and a request to upload the photo. Once the photo is uploaded, it is stored on the web server. An optical character recognition program is in communication with the web server and is used to analyze the photo. Characters in the photo corresponding to tire size information on the placard are identified. The identified tire size information is correlated in a database to a listing of pre-stored tire information to verify whether the identified tire size information is appropriate for the vehicle. A message is returned to the web site from the web server including the results of the identification and correlation.

Abstract: A system monitors and controls pressure of vehicle parts. The system consists of: a fleet of vehicles, each vehicle of the fleet having a cab and a trailer; a controller maintaining a wireless server and database for the fleet of vehicles; a first cellular device transmitting data to and from an electronic control unit of the cab of each vehicle and the controller; and a second cellular device transmitting data to and from an electronic control unit of the trailer of each vehicle and the controller. The first cellular device and the second cellular device each utilize a publicly accessible cellular network for communication with the controller.
