Abstract

A tire internal pressure management device includes a data acquisition unit that acquires internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data of each tire mounted on a mobile body including an aircraft and a vehicle, a representative value calculation unit that calculates a representative value of internal pressure data subjected to temperature correction for each predetermined period, based on the acquired internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data, and an internal pressure filling timing prediction unit that predicts a timing when an internal pressure value falls below a threshold value that is set in advance as an internal pressure filling timing, based on a transition of the calculated representative value of the internal pressure data.

Claims (26)

1. A tire internal pressure management device comprising:

a data acquisition unit that acquires internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data of each tire mounted on a mobile body including an aircraft;

a representative value calculation unit that calculates a representative value of internal pressure data subjected to temperature correction for each predetermined period including a period from immediately after landing of the aircraft until a temperature of each tire becomes an outside air temperature, based on the acquired internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data; and

an internal pressure filling timing prediction unit that predicts a timing when an internal pressure value falls below a threshold value that is set in advance as an internal pressure filling timing, based on a transition of the calculated representative value of the internal pressure data.

2. The tire internal pressure management device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a tire number prediction unit that predicts the number of tires for which a tire internal pressure needs to be filled in a future predetermined period between arrival and departure of the aircraft, based on a calculation result of the internal pressure filling timing of each tire.

3. The tire internal pressure management device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an internal pressure filling timing correction unit that corrects the internal pressure filling timing of each tire mounted on the same aircraft such that the internal pressure filling timing becomes a same timing when the internal pressure filling timing is within a predetermined period that is set in advance.

4. The tire internal pressure management device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an abnormality determination unit that calculates an internal pressure lowering speed based on a transition of the representative value of the internal pressure data, and determines to be abnormal when exceeding a threshold value of the internal pressure lowering speed that is set in advance.

5. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a tire internal pressure management program comprising:

a data acquisition step of acquiring internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data of each tire mounted on a mobile body including an aircraft;

a representative value calculation step of calculating a representative value of internal pressure data subjected to temperature correction for each predetermined period including a period from immediately after landing of the aircraft until a temperature of each tire becomes an outside air temperature, based on the acquired internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data; and

an internal pressure filling timing prediction step of predicting a timing when an internal pressure value falls below a threshold value that is set in advance as an internal pressure filling timing, based on a transition of the calculated representative value of the internal pressure data, wherein

the tire internal pressure management program is executed in a tire internal pressure management device.

6. A tire internal pressure management method comprising:

a data acquisition process of acquiring internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data of each tire mounted on a mobile body including an aircraft;

a representative value calculation process of calculating a representative value of internal pressure data subjected to temperature correction for each predetermined period including a period from immediately after landing of the aircraft until a temperature of each tire becomes an outside air temperature, based on the acquired internal pressure time series data and temperature time series data; and

an internal pressure filling timing prediction process of predicting a timing when an internal pressure value falls below a threshold value that is set in advance as an internal pressure filling timing, based on a transition of the calculated representative value of the internal pressure data.

7. The tire internal pressure management device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an internal pressure filling timing correction unit that corrects the internal pressure filling timing of each tire mounted on the same aircraft such that the internal pressure filling timing becomes a same timing when the internal pressure filling timing is within a predetermined period that is set in advance.

8. The tire internal pressure management device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an abnormality determination unit that calculates an internal pressure lowering speed based on a transition of the representative value of the internal pressure data, and determines to be abnormal when exceeding a threshold value of the internal pressure lowering speed that is set in advance.

9. The tire internal pressure management device according to claim 3 , further comprising:

an abnormality determination unit that calculates an internal pressure lowering speed based on a transition of the representative value of the internal pressure data, and determines to be abnormal when exceeding a threshold value of the internal pressure lowering speed that is set in advance.

10. The tire internal pressure management device according to claim 1 , wherein the internal pressure filling timing prediction unit is configured to change the internal pressure filling timing according to a predicted air temperature and predict a temperature of the tire or information of air temperature at which the internal pressure filling of the tire is required.
