Abstract
A method, apparatus and program product determine a health condition for the tires on one or more vehicles by performing an individual self-comparison and a peer-based comparison for each tire, where the individual self-comparison reduces variances between the plurality of tires on the vehicle, and the peer-based comparison reduces variances within each tire. Anomalies, such as severe leakage and tire inflations may be detected, and slow leakages may be predicted based upon historical data associated with the health condition.
Claims35
A method of monitoring vehicle tires, the method comprising:
- receiving tire data associated with a plurality of tires on a vehicle;
- and
- determining a health condition for each of the plurality of tires by performing an individual self-comparison and a peer-based comparison of the tire data for each tire, wherein the individual self-comparison reduces variances between the plurality of tires on the vehicle, and wherein the peer-based comparison reduces variances within each tire.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- program code configured upon execution by the at least one processor to monitor vehicle tires by receiving tire data associated with a plurality of tires on a vehicle, and determining a health condition for each of the plurality of tires by performing an individual self-comparison and a peer-based comparison of the tire data for each tire, wherein the individual self-comparison reduces variances between the plurality of tires on the vehicle, and wherein the peer-based comparison reduces variances within each tire.
A program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium;
- and
- program code stored on the computer readable medium and configured upon execution to monitor vehicle tires by receiving tire data associated with a plurality of tires on a vehicle, and determining a health condition for each of the plurality of tires by performing an individual self-comparison and a peer-based comparison of the tire data for each tire, wherein the individual self-comparison reduces variances between the plurality of tires on the vehicle, and wherein the peer-based comparison reduces variances within each tire.
