Abstract:
An apparatus for alarming decrease in tire air-pressure for alarming decrease in tire air-pressure based on rotational information obtained from tires attached to a vehicle, comprising: a rotational information detecting means for detecting rotational information of the respective tires; a rotational information memory means for storing the rotational information of the respective tires; a judged value calculating means for calculating judged values based on the rotational information of the respective tires; a judged value memory means for storing the judged values; a transition calculating means for calculating transition of the judged values based on the stored judged values; a judging means for determining a decrease in tire air-pressure based on the judged values; and an alarming means for issuing preliminary alarm prior to issuing a predetermined alarm for informing decrease in internal pressure based on the transition of the judged values in case the judged value tends to move to exceed a predetermined threshold for determining a decrease in internal pressure.
