Abstract
A pressure management system for a tire assembly on a vehicle including: a housing unit, a pump, and a power interface.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a wheel-end inflation system mounted to a wheel of a vehicle, comprising:
- a pump configured to inflate a tire mounted to the wheel;
- a local control system configured to control the pump based on a set of control instructions;
- and
- a set of sensors configured to collect measurements about the wheel-end inflation system;
- and
- a communications system mounted to the vehicle and configured to:
- transmit the measurements to a remote control system configured to dynamically determine new control instructions based on the measurements;
- receive the new control instructions from the remote control system;
- and
- transmit the new control instructions to the local control system, wherein the local control system controls the pump based on the set of new control instructions.

A system, comprising:
- a set of tire inflation systems, each configured to mount to a wheel of a vehicle, wherein each tire inflation system comprises:
- a pressurized fluid source;
- a set of sensors configured to sample a set of measurements;
- and
- a processing system configured to control operation of the pressurized fluid source based on a set of tire pressure targets;
- and
- a remote controller, remote from the set of tire inflation systems and configured to:
- determine a new set of tire pressure targets based on each set of measurements;
- and
- transmit the new set of tire pressure targets to a plurality of tire inflation systems during operation of the vehicle, wherein the processing system of each tire inflation system is configured to control operation of the respective pressurized fluid source based on the new set of tire pressure targets.
