Abstract
A computer system detects tyre explosion in a heavy-duty vehicle. The computer system has processing circuitry to obtain wheel rotation data indicative of a first wheel rotary motion and of a second wheel rotary motion, for first and second wheels of an axle on the vehicle, determine a difference in rotary motion between the first wheel rotary motion and the second wheel rotary motion, compensate the difference in rotary motion for a deviation in motion by the vehicle from a straight path, and detect tyre explosion in case the compensated difference in rotary motion does not satisfy a predetermined acceptance criterion.

A computer system for detecting tyre explosion in a heavy-duty vehicle, the computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- obtain wheel rotation data indicative of a first wheel rotary motion and of a second wheel rotary motion, for first and second wheels of an axle on the vehicle,
- determine a difference in rotary motion between the first wheel rotary motion and the second wheel rotary motion,
- compensate the difference in rotary motion for a deviation in motion by the vehicle from a straight path, and
- detect tyre explosion in case the compensated difference in rotary motion does not satisfy a predetermined acceptance criterion.
A computer-implemented method for detecting tyre explosion in a heavy-duty vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by processing circuitry of a computer system, wheel rotation data indicative of a first wheel rotary motion and of a second wheel rotary motion, for first and second wheels of an axle on the vehicle,
- determining, by the processing circuitry, a difference in rotary motion between the first wheel rotary motion and the second wheel rotary motion,
- compensating, by the processing circuitry, the difference in rotary motion for a deviation in motion by the vehicle from a straight path, and
- detecting, by the processing circuitry, tyre explosion in case the compensated difference in rotary motion does not satisfy a predetermined acceptance criterion.
