Method and system for wear control of vehicle tyres
First Claim
1. A method of determining wear of a tyre using a processing unit, wherein said tyre rolls on a rolling surface, a footprint area being defined between the tyre and said rolling surface, the method comprising:
- detecting a first signal representative of a deformation of an inner surface of the tyre;
identifying at least one first portion comprised within said first signal using the processing unit, said first portion being representative of said deformation in a detection region which is external to the footprint area and substantially contiguous to the footprint area in the rotation direction of the tyre; and
processing at least said first portion of said first signal using the processing unit so as to determine at least one parameter representative of the wear of said tyre, wherein said comprises filtering said first signal in a first frequency band in the range of between 700 Hz and 2000 Hz.

Abstract
A method for wear control of vehicle tires, includes: detecting deformation of an inner surface of a first tire by means of a first sensor; determining a first level of wear of the first tire; detecting a deformation of an inner surface of a second tire by means of a second sensor; determining a second level of wear of the second tire; comparing the first and second levels of wear with each other; and generating a notification signal representative of the comparison. Also disclosed is a system for wear control of vehicle tires, a method of determining the wear of a tire and a system for determining the wear of a tire.

22. A system for determining a parameter representative of wear of a tyre, the system comprising:
-
a tyre adapted to roll on a rolling surface so as to define a footprint area between the tyre and said rolling surface, and a detection region that is external to the footprint area and substantially contiguous to the footprint area in the rotation direction of the tyre; at least one sensor fitted on an inner surface of said tyre for detecting at least one first signal representative of a deformation of said inner surface of the tyre, said first signal comprising at least one first portion representative of said deformation in the detection region; and a processing unit operatively associated with said sensor for receiving said first signal and capable of being adapted to identify and process at least said first portion of said first signal so as to determine at least one parameter representative of the wear of said tyre, wherein said processing unit comprises a filtering module for filtering said first signal a first frequency band included between 700 Hz and 2000 Hz. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
