Problems solved by technology

During routine maintenance, the tires may experience further rotations on the vehicle, causing the owner to lose track of each tire's mileage
As a result, when a vehicle's user decides when to change a tire, the user may resort to guesswork based on each vehicle's mileage

Embodiment Construction

[0071] refer to figure 1 , shows a first embodiment of a tire tracking system and method. The vehicle 10 is equipped with pneumatic tires 12 . The vehicle 10 shown is a commercial truck, and other vehicle types are compatible with the subject methods and systems. Tires 12 have respective service performance dates, which may or may not coincide. Each tire 12 may accordingly have been in service at a respective different time. The purpose of the subject systems and methods is to monitor and track each tire 12 individually in order to record important historical information about each tire. Such information may include the total service mileage experienced by the tire, historical pressure data for the tire, and / or historical temperature data for the tire. The information collected and recorded may prove useful in terms of monitoring tire history and helping determine when a tire needs to be replaced.

[0072] Tire 12 is of conventional pneumatic construction having a tread 1...

Abstract

The invention relates to a tire sensor-based mileage tracking system and method. According to the invention, a tire tracking system and method for tracking travel mileage experienced by a vehicle tire includes a tire-affixed identification transponder operative to generate tire-specific identification data; a vehicle-based incremental vehicle travel distance estimator for generating a synchronous stream of incremental vehicle travel distance estimations; and a timestamp synchronization and distance traveled estimator operative to generate a continuous synchronous stream of incremental tire travel distance estimations from the incremental vehicle travel distance estimations. A mobile network uploads the incremental tire travel distance estimations and the tire-specific identification data to a remote server that generates an aggregate of the tire travel distance estimations in a form accessible by the tire-specific identification data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to tire monitoring systems for collecting measured tire parameter data during vehicle operation, and more particularly to systems utilizing data from tire sensor sources for determining empirical service mileage of tires. Background technique [0002] Tires are usually sold with a mileage rating marked by the manufacturer. Such tires are described as serviceable for their rated mileage. However, the user may fail to monitor the tire's mileage in order to assess how much of the tire's rated mileage remains. This situation does arise especially when vehicles have tires of different ages that were put into service at different times. During routine maintenance, the tires may experience further rotation on the vehicle, causing the owner to lose track of each tire's mileage. As a result, when a user of a vehicle decides when to change a tire, the user may resort to guesswork based on the mileage of each vehicle. ...
