  • Process and mechanism for determining the effective air temperature in at least one pneumatic tire of a vehicle
    Patent number: 5050110
    Abstract: A process for determining the effective air temperature in at least one pneumatic tire of a vehicle sensor. In addition to the temperature in proximity of the interior side of the rim of the respective vehicle wheel, the temperature in the immediate environment of a vehicle brake disk or brake drum as well as the temperature in the immediate environment of the vehicle is sensed. From these measured temperature values, the effective air temperature in the respective pneumatic vehicle tire is then calculated. A mechanism for carrying out the process is disclosed. A formula for combining the sensor temperatures is disclosed. Lastly specific locations for the sensors are disclosed.
