1. A system for monitoring deformations of a moving tyre fitted on a rim associated with a vehicle, comprising:

  • a reflecting element positioned on an inner surface of the tyre for reflecting an optical beam and comprising a region having at least one area of high light reflection and at least one area of low light reflection; and

    a moving station located in a predetermined position on the rim for sending the optical beam toward the inner surface, receiving one or more reflections of the optical beam from the inner surface or the reflecting element, and emitting a signal proportional to the deformations of the tyre in a longitudinal direction, in a transverse direction, and in a vertical direction.
