Abstract
Aspects of tire sensor auto-location are described. Tire temperature values are received for a set of tire sensor devices. Each tire sensor device provides a tire-specific subset of the tire temperature values. A vehicle configuration indicates that the vehicle has a dual tire setup. The tire temperature values are processed to identify and assign a “dual tire” position indicating an inner position or an outer position for each tire sensor device.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one computing device comprising at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory comprising instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:
- receive, by a vehicle management service, tire temperature values for a set of tire sensor devices that are assigned to a vehicle that is managed by a vehicle management service, wherein a respective tire sensor device provides a tire-specific subset of the tire temperature values;
- identify, by the vehicle management service, that a vehicle configuration of the vehicle includes a dual tire setup for an axle;
- input, by the vehicle management service, the tire temperature values into a tire position classification process;
- and
- assign, by the vehicle management service, an inner tire position or an outer tire position to the respective tire sensor device based at least in part on an output from the tire position classification process.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a vehicle management service, tire temperature values for a set of tire sensor devices that are assigned to a vehicle that is managed by a vehicle management service, wherein a respective tire sensor device provides a tire-specific subset of the tire temperature values;
- identifying, by the vehicle management service, that a vehicle configuration of the vehicle includes a dual tire setup for an axle;
- inputting, by the vehicle management service, the tire temperature values into a tire position classification process;
- and
- assigning, by the vehicle management service, an inner tire position or an outer tire position to the respective tire sensor device based at least in part on an output from the tire position classification process.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by at least one computing device, the instructions, when executed by the at least one computing device, causing the at least one computing device to at least:
- receive, by a vehicle management service, tire temperature values for a set of tire sensor devices that are assigned to a vehicle that is managed by a vehicle management service, wherein a respective tire sensor device provides a tire-specific subset of the tire temperature values;
- identify, by the vehicle management service, that a vehicle configuration of the vehicle includes a dual tire setup for an axle;
- input, by the vehicle management service, the tire temperature values into a tire position classification process;
- and
- assign, by the vehicle management service, an inner tire position or an outer tire position to the respective tire sensor device based at least in part on an output from the tire position classification process.
