  • System and method for temperature compensation of drive over reader pressure measurement
    Patent number: 11413912
    Abstract: A system compensates a drive over reader tire pressure measurement. The system includes a drive over reader, which includes a sensor array. A pressure indication is determined for each tire in a group of tires by the drive over reader. A recommended cold pressure for the tires is provided. An adjusted recommended pressure for the tires is determined from the pressure indication and the recommended cold pressure, and accounts for temperature effects on the tires. An adjusted low pressure threshold is set at a predetermined level below the adjusted recommended pressure. A notice is generated by the drive over reader for each tire that includes an adjusted recommended pressure below the adjusted low pressure threshold.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATION OF TIRE PRESSURE
    Publication number: 20220185037
    Abstract: A system evaluates the pressure of at least two tires supporting a vehicle. The system includes a drive over reader, which includes a sensor array. A first pressure indication for a first tire is determined by the drive over reader, and a second pressure indication for a second tire is determined by the drive over reader. A maximum differential threshold is provided, and a pressure differential is determined by comparing the first pressure indication to the second pressure indication. A notice is generated by the drive over reader when the pressure differential exceeds the maximum differential threshold.
