<p>A tire pressure monitor provided on a wheel of a vehicle includes a pressure sensor, a transmitter, an acceleration sensor, and a controller. The pressure sensor works to output a pressure signal representative of the inflation pressure of a tire fitted on the wheel. The transmitter works to transmit the pressure signal. The acceleration sensor works to output an acceleration signal representative of a centrifugal acceleration which increases with the running speed of the vehicle. The controller is configured to: 1) determine a change in the centrifugal acceleration for a predetermined time period based on the acceleration signal, 2) determine the vehicle as being in running state when the determined change is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and 3) control the transmitter to transmit the pressure signal when the vehicle is determined as being in running state.</p> |
