METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING THE INFLATION PRESSURE OF A TIRE

摘要

Method and system for estimating the inflation pressure of a tire in which: data representative of the deformation undergone by the tire on a rolling surface are obtained; the obtained data are processed so as to obtain a first quantity ß representative of the extent of the deformation within a first deformation region substantially corresponding to the footprint between the tire and the rolling surface and a second quantity s, different from the first quantity, representing the extent of the deformation in a second deformation region, said second region comprising the first deformation region and having a circumferential extension greater than the circumferential extension of the first deformation region, the second quantity s being obtained starting from at least a part of the obtained data, which corresponds to a portion of said second deformation region that is external to the footprint; the pressure is estimated based on the first quantity ß and the second quantity s thus obtained.
