Patent ID: 8474500

Claim:
A method of allowing control of a vehicle with at least two-wheels in case of puncture of a tyre, each wheel comprising a rim and a tyre associated therewith, comprising the steps of: inflating each tyre to an operating pressure; admitting a fluid compressed to a first pressure higher than the operating pressure of said tyre into at least one tank associated with at least one of said rims; bringing said tyre into communication with said tank when the inner pressure of said tyre is lower than a predetermined first threshold value; detecting a rate of variation of an inner pressure of said tank; activating a pressure measuring device when said rate of inner pressure variation corresponds to a reduction and is higher than a first predetermined rate value; measuring the inner pressure of said tank with a predetermined frequency (F) by means of said pressure measuring device; calculating a rate of variation in said inner pressure in a time unit; generating an alarm signal when said calculated rate of inner pressure variation corresponds to a reduction and is higher than a second predetermined rate value; and transmitting said alarm signal to the driver.
