Tire management device and tire management program
This tire management device enables tire management for equalizing the use period of tires mounted on a vehicle, and is provided with a deterioration state prediction unit which, for each mounting position, predicts the deterioration tendency and the deterioration state of the tires mounted on the vehicle; a usable period prediction unit which, for each tire mounting position, predicts the usable period of the tire on the basis of the deterioration tendency and deterioration state predicted by the deterioration state prediction unit; and a mounting position planning unit which, setting the deterioration tendency of each tire predicted by the deterioration state prediction unit as a mounting position deterioration characteristic of each mounting position of a tire in the vehicle, creates, on the basis of said mounting position deterioration characteristics and the usable periods of the tires predicted by the usable period prediction unit, a modification proposal for changing the mounting positions of the tires on the vehicle in order to equalize the use period of each tire.
1. A tire management device, comprising:
a deterioration state prediction means which predicts a deterioration tendency and a deteriorated state of tires mounted on a vehicle for each mounting position;
a usable period prediction means which predicts a tire usable period for each mounting position of tires on the basis of a deterioration tendency and a deterioration state predicted by the deterioration state prediction means; and
a mounting position planning means which, sets the deterioration tendency of each tire predicted by the deterioration state prediction means as a mounting position deterioration characteristic of each mounting position of a tire in the vehicle, creates, on the basis of the mounting position deterioration characteristic and the usable period of each tire predicted by the usable period prediction means, a change plan for tire mounted positions of the vehicle in order to equalize the use period of each tire.
2. The tire management device according to claim 1 , wherein the deterioration state prediction means separately predicts a deterioration tendency and a deterioration state of the tread rubber and casing of each tire.
3. The tire management device according to claim 2 , wherein the usable period prediction means separately predicts a usable period of the tread rubber and casing of each tire.
4. The tire management device according to claim 3 , wherein the mounting position planning means creates a change plan for tire mounted positions based on a shorter usable period between the usable periods of tread rubber and casing of each tire predicted by the usable period prediction means.
5. The tire management device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display output means for displaying a change plan for tire mounted positions created by the mounting position planning means.
6. A tire management program for causing a computer function as:
a deterioration state prediction means which predicts a deterioration tendency and a deteriorated state of tires mounted on a vehicle for each mounting position;
a usable period prediction means which predicts a tire usable period for each mounting position of tires on the basis of a deterioration tendency and a deterioration state predicted by the deterioration state prediction means; and
a mounting position planning means which, sets the deterioration tendency of each tire predicted by the deterioration state prediction means as a mounting position deterioration characteristic of each mounting position of a tire in the vehicle, creates, on the basis of the mounting position deterioration characteristic and the usable period of each tire predicted by the usable period prediction means, a change plan for tire mounted positions of the vehicle in order to equalize the use period of each tire.
