Abstract:

A system for remotely sensing the temperature and pressure in vehicle tires whether moving or stationary. The tire pressure and temperature data along with a unique ID number are transmitted from a sensor in the tire to a computer display in the cab. A portable cab display receives the data and assigns a unique wheel location for each sensor. The cab display compensates the pressure data for local barometric pressure and actual tire temperature and displays the compensated data to the driver. Alarms are included to alert the driver of off specification conditions. The cab display may be removed from the cab for local use.
