On Tire Monitoring Systems Temperature Compensation

Direct type [1] Tire Monitoring Systems supervise tire internal inflating pressure. The authors previously proved that Tire Monitoring must be focused on the tire (i.e.: vehicle) dynamical behaviour [2], real aim of the supervising action: then even the external absolute pressure must be taken into account. NHTSA studies showed improper warnings must be avoided in order to keep the driver confidence with the system; internal temperature fall down is the Tire Monitoring Systems’ improper warnings main cause. A new approach for optimal Tire Monitoring Systems temperature compensation related to external environmental temperature, able to avoid improper warnings, will be presented.
