Tire pressure monitoring system

A tire pressure monitoring system for monitoring the pressure in at least one tire supporting a vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one sensor mounted on the at least one tire for measuring a pressure and a temperature of the at least one tire;
• means for transmitting the measured pressure data and temperature data to a processor;
• and
• a tire pressure model being executed on the processor, the tire pressure model including:
• a driving event extractor to extract cold pressure data from the measured pressure data;
• a temperature compensator to generate a compensated cold tire pressure from the cold pressure data;
• a noise filter to filter sensor noise and generate a filtered cold tire pressure from the compensated cold tire pressure;
• a detection module receiving the filtered cold tire pressure and determining an air pressure leak rate of the at least one tire;
• and
• a leak notification corresponding to the air pressure leak rate generated by the tire pressure model.
