Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating one or more designs for a vehicle, using a vehicle modelling application arranged to generate a three-dimensional model of a vehicle from a vehicle model definition, the vehicle model definition defining a set of values for geometric properties of the vehicle. A set of vehicle model definitions is generated, each vehicle model definition satisfying a set of geometric constraints. The set of vehicle model definitions is then filtered by generating the three-dimensional model of a vehicle from a vehicle model definition using the vehicle modelling application, determining whether the three-dimensional model satisfies a first set of physical constraints, and if the three-dimensional model does not satisfy the set of physical constraints, removing the vehicle model definition from the set of vehicle model definitions.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the condition of a pneumatic tyre including a pressure sensor(s) to measure an internal pressure within the tyre. A speed sensor(s) measures a rotational speed of the tyre. A controller is configured to receive data from the pressure sensor and the speed sensor and output indications related to a condition of the tyre. The controller determines the output indications by tracking the internal pressure with respect to time during use of the tyre, identifying at least one change in internal tyre pressure in a time interval. The time interval is between a first reference time and a second reference time, the reference times corresponding to points at which the speed sensor indicates different rotational speeds of the tyre. The controller further monitors the pressure change as a function of rotational speed of the tyre to provide an indicator of tyre condition.
