Abstract
A tire inflation system and a method of control. A tire pressure sampling interval may be triggered based on a type of tire pressure drop, wheel speed, or temperature.
Claims20
A method of controlling a tire inflation system for a vehicle comprising:
- checking an inflation pressure of a tire when a tire pressure sampling interval has elapsed;
- and
- inflating the tire when the inflation pressure is less than a target tire pressure;
- wherein the tire pressure sampling interval is measured based on at least one of time data from a real-time clock, a travel distance of the vehicle, engine temperature and ambient temperature.
1 more element
A method of controlling a tire inflation system comprising:
- determining a tire pressure sampling interval for a tire;
- checking an inflation pressure of a tire when a tire pressure sampling interval has elapsed;
- and
- checking the inflation pressure the tire before the tire pressure sampling interval has elapsed based on data indicative of vehicle speed or wheel speed.

A method of controlling a tire inflation system comprising:
- determining a tire pressure sampling interval for a tire;
- checking an inflation pressure of a tire when a tire pressure sampling interval has elapsed;
- and
- triggering a check of the inflation pressure of the tire before the tire pressure sampling interval has elapsed based on at least one of an ambient temperature and a wheel end temperature.
