Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for tire pressure monitoring for vehicle park-assist. An example vehicle includes tires, pressure sensors, and a controller. The controller is to identify a target position within a parking spot for park-assist, determine a tire index based on tire pressure measurements, and identify whether the tire index is within a low range, a caution range, or a normal operating range. The controller also is to adjust, responsive to the tire index being within the caution range, the target position to facilitate access to one of the tires having low pressure.

Claim (Index 16):
A vehicle comprising:\n tires; pressure sensors; and a controller to:\n identify a target position within a parking spot for park-assist; \n determine a tire index based on tire pressure measurements; \n identify whether the tire index is within a low range, a caution range, or a normal operating range, wherein the tire index is within the low range when one or more of the tires has a tire pressure less than or equal to a flat tire threshold, wherein the tire index is within the normal operating range when each of the tires has a tire pressure within a factory-recommended tire pressure range, wherein the tire index is within the caution range when the one or more of the tires has a tire pressure that is both above the factory-recommended tire pressure range and outside of the factory-recommended tire pressure range; \n adjust, responsive to the tire index being within the caution range, the target position to facilitate access to one of the tires that has a tire pressure outside of the factory-recommended tire pressure range; and \n to compensate for a low tire pressure or a high tire pressure of one or more of the tires upon identifying that the tire index is within the caution range, at least one of increase a buffer zone within the parking spot, decrease a vehicle speed for the park-assist, and adjust PID controller gains utilized to perform the park-assist.
