Assignee: BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS TIRE OPERATIONS, LLC
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 15:
16. A system for providing real time tire pressure information for each of a plurality of vehicles in a managed fleet, the system comprising:
a server in operative communication via respective communications networks with a mobile user device application and/or computing devices mounted onboard the respective plurality of vehicles;
for each of the respective vehicles, one or more sensors collectively configured to generate signals corresponding to each of a contained tire air temperature, a contained tire inflation pressure, and an ambient temperature associated with a tire mounted on a vehicle;
wherein at least one of the one or more sensors comprises a tire inflation pressure sensor configured to generate event-based signals corresponding to detected changes per unit pressure; and
wherein the server is functionally linked to receive the signals from the one or more sensors and configured for each of the respective vehicles to:
determine an effective tire inflation pressure based on the generated signals and further at least on a calculated moving average of the ambient temperature; and
generate real-time notifications associated with the determined effective tire inflation pressure to a specified user interface via the respective communications network.
