  • Patent number: 11981168
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing tire information is provided. The apparatus includes a detector that detects driving information as a vehicle is being driven and a controller that calculates a relative speed of a tire of the vehicle and a resonance frequency of the tire based on the driving information. The controller then compares the calculated relative speed and the calculated resonance frequency with a previously learned determination reference value to determine whether the tire is deflated.
