Tire Damage Risk Mapping Using Inspection and Site History
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in acquiring real-time position information for tire inspections, particularly for tires mounted on airplanes, leading to incomplete risk assessment of external damage.
Innovation Solution
A risk calculating device and method that acquires and processes external damage information per tire, combined with site information, to calculate and output the risk of external damage per site, utilizing data from tire inspections and operation histories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If real-time position information is acquired using GPS receiver and microphone for tire inspection, then real-time risk assessment can be performed, but devices must be installed in the vehicle and real-time data acquisition is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical tire inspection system by collecting historical inspection data, GPS trajectories, and operational information to build a digital model that enables risk assessment without requiring physical sensors to be installed in the vehicle. The system copies relevant data elements (tire characteristics, position history, inspection results) to reconstruct the assessment capability in software form.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data collection and processing by gathering tire inspection data, position information, and operational history before risk assessment is needed. By pre-collecting and organizing this data, the system eliminates the need for real-time sensor installation while maintaining the ability to perform reliable risk assessment when required.
2Ease of manufacture
If tire inspection data is used without real-time position information, then data collection is simpler, but position information cannot be acquired in real time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces position information as an intermediary element that links tire inspection data with geographic locations. By incorporating GPS trajectory data and site information into the existing inspection data framework, the system bridges the gap between simple data collection and real-time position tracking, allowing historical data to be enriched with location context without requiring complex real-time sensing.
3Ease of operation
If offline position information is used for airplane tires, then real-time installation is avoided, but position information acquisition becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal data collection framework that handles both ground vehicles and airplanes through the same offline data acquisition process. By designing the system to work with flight trajectory data and airport site information in the same way it processes ground vehicle GPS data, the system achieves multi-functionality that simplifies operation across different transport modes while maintaining consistent offline acquisition methods.

AI summary
A data acquiring section acquires external damage information per tire mounted to airplanes, and site information relating to sites at which there is possibility that the tires incurred external damage. A processing section calculates risk, per site, of tires incurring external damage based on the external damage information per tire and the site information, An outputting section outputs the risk that has been calculated per site.
