Method for determining the load exerted on a vehicle tire
First Claim
1. Method for determining the load exerted on the tire of a motor vehicle and for monitoring the tire pressure, comprising the steps of:
- determining the pressure in the individual tires during operation of the vehicle,monitoring the rotational behavior of the individual wheels,determining load distribution characteristic quantities by comparing the rotational behavior or the changes of the rotational behavior of the individual wheels in defined driving conditions in consideration of preset or learnt quantities, andderiving the load exerted on the tires and pressure loss from the tire pressure and one or more load distribution characteristic quantities.

Abstract
A method for determining the load exerted on the tire of a motor vehicle or to monitor the tire pressure, wherein during operation of the vehicle the pressure in the individual wheels is detected and the rotational behavior of the individual wheels is monitored, and wherein load distribution characteristic quantities are determined by comparing the rotational behavior or changes in said rotational behavior of the individual wheels during given driving conditions taking onto account preset or learned variables. Ultimately, the load exerted on the tires or pressure loss is determined from the tire pressure and the load distribution characteristic quantities.
