Abstract:

An inspection system for a tire of a vehicle in a fleet includes a portable inspection device that includes means for measuring a tire pressure, means for measuring a tread depth of the tire, and an antenna for wireless communication. A hand-held data device includes a processor, memory and an antenna. The data device receives the measured tire pressure and the measured tread depth of the tire from the portable inspection device. A server is remote from the data device and a first wireless transmission means uploads the measured tire pressure and the measured tread depth of the tire from the data device to the server. An analysis device is in electronic communication with the server for analysis of the data uploaded from the data device. A second wireless transmission means communicates cloned data sets from the server to the data device. A method for inspecting is also provided.
