  • Publication number: 20240042811
    Abstract: Electronic member comprising: A movement sensor and/or a proximity sensor; A microprocessor coupled to the sensor to form a data signal; A storage area connected to the microprocessor for storing a part of the data signal and an identification information element; An energy source; and A radio transmitter connected to the microprocessor; characterized in that the microprocessor is capable of defining two states of the electronic member, the storage area contains a predetermined change of state which is defined on the basis of the two states, the microprocessor is capable, having detected the predetermined change of state, of transmitting the identification information element via a radiofrequency signal transmitted during a time interval ?T and then stopping the transmission of the radiofrequency signal at the end of said time interval ?T and the time interval ?T is between 20 seconds and 10 minutes.

  • Publication number: 20180215211
    Abstract: A system is provided for assessing a condition of a tire. The system includes first and second individual modules, a data transmission gateway, and a collaboration device. The first and second individual modules are for assessing the condition of the tire. Each of the first and second individual modules includes a housing, which is structured to be placed on a ground surface, and a data transmitter. The housing includes at least one detector arranged to enable a parameter of the tire to be assessed as the tire passes over the housing. The data transmission gateway is structured to transmit data between the first and second individual modules and a remote database. The collaboration device is structured to enable data from the first individual module to be used collaboratively with data from the second individual module.

  • Publication number: 20180009271
    Abstract: A speed evaluation system is provided for assessing a speed of a vehicle. The speed evaluation system includes a wear measurement system, which assesses a state of a tire of the vehicle. The wear measurement system includes a casing placed on a ground surface. The speed evaluation system further includes a timing device that determines at least two instants of passage of the vehicle over two distinct or non-distinct points of passage of the casing of the wear measurement system, and a processor that calculates, as a function of the instants of passage and of dimensional data of the casing and/or dimensional data of the vehicle, a speed of passage of the vehicle over the casing. A method of implementing the speed evaluation system also is provided.

  • Publication number: 20170350781
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the underflation state of a tire fitted on a vehicle, the method comprising the following steps: the step of determining a first contact patch measurement of a first tire fitted on the vehicle, the step of determining a second contact patch measurement of a second tire fitted on the vehicle, the step of comparing the first and second contact patch measurements and of inferring an underinflation situation therefrom if the difference between the two measurements is greater than a predetermined signalling threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170350792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for evaluating the condition of a tire, the system comprising a first housing placed on the ground and a device for detecting the wear of a tire when the tire passes over said first housing, said system further comprising a first device for detecting the presence of a tire over the first housing, and electronic means for activating the wear detecting device during the detection of the presence of a tire by the presence detecting device.

  • Publication number: 20170322117
    Abstract: A system for evaluating a state of a tire on a vehicle is provided. The system includes a housing, first and second sensors, and control electronics. The housing is located on a ground surface. The first sensor is installed in the housing and measures a first characteristic of a tire passing over the housing. The second sensor is installed in the housing and measures a second characteristic of a tire passing over the housing. The first and the second sensors are positioned such that instants of passage of the vehicle rolling over the housing at positionings of the sensors are distinct from each other. The control electronics determines a direction of rolling of the vehicle over the housing based on each of the positionings of the sensors in the housing and on the instants of passage of the vehicle over the sensors.

  • Publication number: 20170322012
    Abstract: A method is provided for measuring a thickness of a layer of rubber-like material. The layer of rubber-like material includes a free face in contact with air and a face joined to an adjacent reinforcement made of elements electrically insulated from one another. Each of the elements includes at least one hysteretic material having a magnetic permeability greater than the magnetic permeability of air. According to the method, a sensitive element, which emits an alternating magnetic field, is brought towards the layer of rubber-like material whose thickness is to be measured, hysteretic losses in the adjacent reinforcement are measured at terminals of the sensitive element, and a thickness of the layer of rubber-like material is evaluated based on the hysteretic losses.

  • Publication number: 20170038278
    Abstract: A system, which is structured to evaluate a condition of a tire, includes a housing, a tire-wear detector, a tire-presence detector, and an electronic activator. The housing, when the system is deployed, is placed on a ground surface. The tire-presence detector detects a presence of a tire on the housing. The electronic activator activates the tire-wear detector when the tire-presence detector detects the presence of the tire on the housing. The tire-wear detector, when activated, detects a wear condition of the tire when the tire passes over the housing.
