Method for estimating the dynamic load borne by a vehicle tire
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method for estimating the dynamic load borne by a tire of a vehicle running along over a given period, whereby the pressure is measured during the period, at each pressure measurement point, the pressure, known as the reference pressure, of the same tire subjected to a load that is constant and known per time interval is determined, and the variation in load is calculated from the difference between the measured pressure and the pressure, known as the reference pressure, and from a model of the tire devised beforehand and that relates a variation in load to a variation in pressure. The invention also proposes a method for estimating the load borne by a tire.
1. A method for estimating the dynamic load borne by a tire of a vehicle running along over a given period, wherein the measurement period comprises at least in succession an unladen time interval and a time interval of laden running, wherein the pressure is measured during the period,wherein, at least pressure measurement point, the pressure, known as the reference pressure, of the same tire subjected to a load that is constant and known per time interval is determined, and wherein, at each pressure measurement point, the variation in load is calculated from the difference between the measured pressure and the reference pressure and from a model of the tire devised beforehand and that relates a variation in load to a variation in pressure.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference pressure of the same tire subjected to a load that is constant per time interval is determined by adjusting a polynomial on the measured signal for each pressure measurement time interval.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the model of the tire is a system of graphs and/or a numerical model.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference pressure of the same tire subjected to a load that is constant is determined by adjusting a polynomial on the measured signals for the pressure measurement periods when the vehicle is unladen, and by interpolating or extrapolating these signals for the periods of laden running.
5. A method for estimating the load borne by a tire of a vehicle running along over a given period, comprising at least successively an unladen time interval and a time interval of laden running, wherein the pressure is measured during the period, wherein, at each pressure measurement point of the unladen phases, the pressure, known as the reference pressure, of the same tire subjected to a constant load is determined, wherein a pressure, known as a reference pressure, is deduced at each pressure measurement point of the phases of laden running of the same tire subjected to a constant load and wherein, at each pressure measurement point, the load is calculated from the difference between the measured pressure and the reference pressure and from a model of the tire devised beforehand and that relates a variation in load to a variation in pressure.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the pressure, known as the reference pressure, at each pressure measurement point of the phases of laden running of the same tire subjected to a constant load is deduced by interpolating or extrapolating the determined signals of the pressure, known as the reference pressure, of the same tire subjected to a constant load in the phases of unladen running, flanking the phase of laden running.
