DEVICE FOR DETECTING OVERHEATED TIRES.

摘要

A tire monitoring device includes a sensor (20) adapted to detect airborne molecules generated when tire components are overheated. The sensor may be positioned in a reader (10) that is proximate the exterior of the tire. The sensor may also be exposed to the air inside the pressurized tire chamber. The sensor may be tuned to detect any of a variety of molecules or components that are generated when tire materials are overheated.
