Method and system for monitoring tyres
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring tyres fitted to vehicles of a fleet of vehicles comprising:
- parking a vehicle of the fleet of vehicles at a predetermined position of a parking area;
said vehicle being fitted with a tyre;
detecting data from a sensor disposed inside the tyre;
sending the data to a central processing unit located at a tyre supplier premises remote from said parking area via a telecommunications network;
causing automatic processing of the data by the central processing unit to obtain at least one value for an index characterizing the tyre during use of the tyre; and
sending the at least one value from the central processing unit to a local processing unit located at said parking area via the telecommunications network;
wherein the data from the sensor comprises;
a code identifying the tyre; and
at least one item regarding a state of the tyre.

Abstract
A method for monitoring a tire fitted to a vehicle includes detecting data from the tire, sending the data to a central processing unit using a predetermined telecommunications protocol, causing automatic processing of the data by the central processing unit to obtain at least one value for an index characterizing the tire during use of the tire, and sending the at least one value to a receiving unit. The data from the tire includes a code identifying the tire and at least one item of data regarding a state of the tire. A system for monitoring a tire includes a device for detecting data from the tire and a central processing unit. The central processing unit causes automatic processing of the detected data and generates at least one value for an index characterizing the tire during use of the tire.
