Problems solved by technology

Determining tire wear based on mileage counts is often inaccurate because not all miles wear the tires equally
Visual inspection of tires can be unreliable and relies on humans for inspection

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, the computer 36 is programmed to determine that the first vehicle 30 and the second vehicle 32 are in a row 34 without an intervening vehicle, starting from the second The vehicle 32 receives a thermal image of the tires 40 of the first vehicle 30 and navigates the route of the first vehicle 30 based on determining that the thermal image exceeds a threshold. (The adjectives "first" and "second" are used throughout this document as identifying words and are not intended to denote importance or order.) The threshold is based on temperature (eg, the temperature at a point on the tire 40 , across the tire 40 the average temperature of a series of points on the tire 40, the temperature difference between two points on the tire 40, the temperature gradient in an area of ​​the tire 40, etc.).

[0042] Determining that the thermal image exceeds the threshold may include ...

Abstract

A computer programmed to determine that a first vehicle and a second vehicle are lined up without a vehicle inserted, receive a thermal image of the tires of the first vehicle from the second vehicle, and navigate the first vehicle based on determining that the thermal image exceeds a threshold. the route of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of motor vehicles, in particular, to a tire diagnostic system. Background technique [0002] A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a system for monitoring the air pressure of vehicle tires. When TPMS detects that one of the vehicle's tires is improperly inflated, an indicator light on the instrument panel illuminates to warn the driver about the tire. TPMS can be indirect or direct. [0003] Indirect TPMS monitors information available outside the tire to indirectly determine air pressure. Some indirect TPMS rely on the individual rpm of the tire. If one tire is spinning faster than the others, it has a smaller diameter and is therefore likely to be under-inflated. [0004] Direct TPMS utilizes pressure sensors mounted on the inner or outer surface of each tire. Pressure sensors mounted inside the tire communicate using wireless short-range signals. [0005] Neither indirect nor direct TPMS monitor...
