摘要 |
The invention provides a method and apparatus for monitoring tires on a vehicle to detect adverse tire operating states, by continuously measuring the distance between the associated vehicle axle (or a vehicle body part rigidly connected thereto) and the road while the vehicle is in operation. From this measurement, the tire deflection is determined, which represents a comparatively exact measure of the respective tire load. When the tire deflection determined leaves a predetermined desired range, a warning signal is transmitted. |
