Patent ID: 7313952

Claim:
A method for monitoring instantaneous behavior of a tire in a rolling condition, comprising: acquiring and storing, at least temporarily, at least one reference curve representing an acceleration profile of at least one specified point of the tire during at least one portion of a revolution of the tire; continuously acquiring signals of acceleration of the at least one point during the at least one portion of a revolution; deriving from the signals of acceleration at least one cyclic curve of acceleration of the at least one point during the at least one portion of a revolution; comparing the at least one cyclic curve with the at least one reference curve; and emitting a signal depending on the comparison; wherein the at least one reference curve represents the acceleration profile of the at least one point in at least two directions, wherein the directions comprise two or more of a centripetal direction, a tangential direction, and a lateral direction, wherein the signals of acceleration of the at least one point in the at least two directions are continuously acquired, and wherein the emitted signal indicates the instantaneous behavior of the tire.
