Abstract
A storage maintains coefficients that map histogram data elements to tire wear, the coefficients being trained based on a correlation of histogram data to measured tire wear. A processor is programmed to receive a wear data histogram from a vehicle, utilize the coefficients to translate the wear data histogram into a measure of physical tire wear; and send an alert message indicating the estimated tire wear.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a storage that maintains coefficients that map histogram data elements to tire wear, the coefficients being trained based on a correlation of histogram data to measured tire wear;
- and
- a processor programmed to
- receive a wear data histogram from a vehicle,
- utilize the coefficients to translate the wear data histogram into an estimated measure of physical tire wear, and
- send an alert message indicating the estimated physical tire wear.
A method comprising:
- utilizing coefficients that map histogram data elements to tire wear, the coefficients being trained based on a correlation of histogram data to measured tire wear, to translate a wear data histogram, including a distribution of power indicative of wear to tires of a vehicle according to one or more variables, into a measure of physical tire wear.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to utilize coefficients that map histogram data elements to tire wear, the coefficients being trained based on a correlation of histogram data to measured tire wear, and to translate a wear data histogram, including a distribution of power indicative of wear to tires of a vehicle according to one or more variables, into a measure of physical tire wear.
