Artiicial Neural Networks for Tyre Pressure Estimation

We present an application of artiicial neural networks to monitoring the tyre pressure of cars using acoustic data derived from vibrations recorded by an accelerometer. As a preprocessing step for feature extraction we perform a spectral analysis of the sound data. The components of the estimated power density spectrum are used as input patterns for the neural estimator. These patterns are used...

Vehicle Lateral State Estimation Based on Measured Tyre Forces

Future active safety systems need more accurate information about the state of vehicles. This article proposes a method to evaluate the lateral state of a vehicle based on measured tyre forces. The tyre forces of two tyres are estimated from optically measured tyre carcass deflections and transmitted wirelessly to the vehicle body. The two remaining tyres are so-called virtual tyre sensors, the...

A Mathematical Model for Predicting the Effects of Tyre Pressure on Fuel Consumption

This study studies the relationship between tyre pressure and fuel consumption of vehicles using experimental methods and mathematical model to predict vehicle fuel consumption. The model obtained was F = 0.62722.5941p+3.3428p±0.018 where F is the fuel consumed and p is the tyre pressure of a vehicle, which can also be used to predict the amount of fuel consumed by other vehicles. The model was...
