  • Publication number: 20230382167
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11472430
    Abstract: A method for determining a wet road condition includes receiving a value of a received signal strength index of an RF signal received from a sensor associated with a wheel of a vehicle, comparing the value to a predetermined threshold value, and if the value is less than the predetermined threshold value, determining that a wet road condition is met and outputting a pre-aquaplaning warning signal. A system for determining a wet road condition and a non-transitory computer program product are also provided.
