Abstract: A computer-implemented method of monitoring a current load on a tire mounted on a vehicle, the method including: obtaining (e.g. by a server device) sensor readings from one or more tire monitoring system (TMS) sensors mounted on the tire; accessing (e.g. by the server device) characteristic information relating to the tire; selecting (e.g. by the server device), based on the characteristic information, a suitable one of a plurality of computer models; and using (e.g. by the server device the selected computer model to estimate a current tire load value based on the sensor readings.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting and locating obstacles/elements on road pavement, including: acquiring driven wheel speed values, and georeferencing data indicative of corresponding motor vehicle positions; detecting obstacles/elements present on the road based on the wheel speed values by identifying entry time instants at which the wheel meets the obstacles/elements, and exit time instants at which the wheel has gone beyond said obstacles/elements, and by computing normalized peak-to-peak values related to the obstacles/elements based on maximum and minimum wheel speed values related to impact-related time instants comprised between the entry and exit time instants, and an average value of the wheel speed values related to first impact-free time instants immediately before the entry time instants; determining a severity degree for each respective obstacle/element based on the normalized peak-to-peak value; determining and storing a position of the obstacle/element based on the georeferencing data, along

Abstract: An adiabatic cooling system including a controller is operable to determine a time period between a first cycle in a recovery mode and a second cycle in the recovery mode. If the time period is less than a first preset time period, then there is a first time lapse before the controller enters the fluid supply mode, and if the time period is greater than a second preset time period, then there is a second time lapse before the controller enters the fluid supply mode, and the first time lapse is greater than the second time lapse.
