Abstract
In a method for making available data relating to the tires of a vehicle, vehicle data and/or tire data is made available by a vehicle memory unit of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle data is acquired by a sensor which is arranged in the vehicle. The vehicle data and/or the tire data have information on at least one property of the tires of the vehicle. A tire-wear probability of the tires of the vehicle is acquired as a function of the vehicle data and/or tire data. The tire-wear probability and/or the vehicle data and/or tire data are stored permanently in a memory unit arranged externally with respect to the vehicle and are made available for determining whether the vehicle requires new tires.
Claims18
A method for providing data relating to tires of a vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
- providing tire data from a vehicle memory unit of the vehicle, which tire data have a piece of information pertaining to at least one property of the tires of the vehicle;
- determining a tire wear probability for the tires of the vehicle based on the provided tire data;
- and
- permanently storing the tire wear probability and the tire data in a memory unit arranged externally to the vehicle, wherein the tire wear probability and the tire data are provided for determining whether the vehicle needs new tires.
A method for providing data relating to tires of a vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
- providing vehicle data from the vehicle, said vehicle data being determined via at least one sensor arranged in the vehicle;
- determining a tire wear probability for the tires of the vehicle based on the provided vehicle data;
- and
- permanently storing the tire wear probability in a memory unit arranged externally to the vehicle, wherein the tire wear probability is provided for determining whether the vehicle needs new tires.
An apparatus for providing data relating to tires of a vehicle, comprising:
- a data processing apparatus and associated memory having stored therein program code that is executed to:
- provide tire data from a vehicle memory unit of the vehicle, which tire data have a piece of information pertaining to at least one property of the tires of the vehicle;
- determine a tire wear probability for the tires of the vehicle based on the provided tire data;
- permanently store the tire wear probability and the tire data in a memory unit stored externally to the vehicle, the tire wear probability and the tire data being provided for determining whether the vehicle needs new tires.
A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable mediums having stored thereon program code that, when executed, causes a data processing apparatus to:
- provide tire data from a vehicle memory unit of the vehicle, which tire data have a piece of information pertaining to at least one property of the tires of the vehicle;
- determine a tire wear probability for the tires of the vehicle based on the provided tire data;
- permanently store the tire wear probability and the tire data in a memory unit stored externally to the vehicle, the tire wear probability and the tire data being provided for determining whether the vehicle needs new tires.
