    Abstract: A system and method for issuing a tire pressure deviation in a vehicle's tire is described. The system may include a calculation unit adapted to calculate temporally successive output signals indicative of a tire pressure condition in the vehicle's tire on the basis of temporally successive vehicle's signals. The system may also include a calibration unit adapted to determine a calibration value on the basis of a number of temporally successive output signals from the calculation unit. The system may also include a detection unit configured to detect a tire pressure deviation in the vehicle's tire on the basis of further temporally successive output signals from the calculation unit and the calibration value from the calibration unit, after determination of the calibration value by the calibration unit.

  • Publication number: 20180009429
    Abstract: The disclosed invention makes use of a wheel speed signal to detect a wheel anomaly such as a loose wheel or a wheel with zero pressure. The wheel speed signal is used as a basis to determine a first and a second detection signal. A further basis for determining the first and second detection signals are a first and second reference signal, respectively. The anomaly of e.g. a loose wheel is detected, according to the teaching of the invention if at least one of the detection signals exceeds a threshold. In particular, the disclosure relates to methods, systems and computer program products to achieve the mentioned objective.
