TIRE TEMPERATURE PREDICTIVE SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A tire-based system and method for estimating a radially outward tire surface temperature of a tire supporting a vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises at least one temperature sensor mounted to the tire operative to measure a tire inner liner temperature; and an algorithmic prediction model which is empirically trained to correlate a inner liner tire temperature to a tire radially outward surface temperature; wherein the empirically trained algorithmic prediction model is operative to receive a plurality of model inputs including the tire inner liner temperature and to generate, based upon the tire inner liner temperature, a radially outward tire surface temperature estimation.
