WHEEL STATE OBTAINING SYSTEM AND WHEEL STATE OBTAINING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18334859 titled 'WHEEL STATE OBTAINING SYSTEM AND WHEEL STATE OBTAINING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system for obtaining the state of wheels of a vehicle by detecting wheel speeds and traveling state, and determining abnormal states based on wheel speed differences.

  • Wheel state obtaining system for vehicle wheels
  • Detects wheel speed of each wheel
  • Detects traveling state of the vehicle
  • Controller calculates wheel speed difference between two wheels
  • Determines abnormal state based on wheel speed difference

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and vehicle maintenance for monitoring and detecting abnormal states of vehicle wheels.

Problems Solved

- Early detection of abnormal states in vehicle wheels - Improved safety on the road by preventing potential accidents due to wheel issues

Benefits

- Enhances vehicle maintenance practices - Increases overall safety of vehicles - Reduces the risk of accidents caused by wheel malfunctions

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing Vehicle Safety with Wheel State Obtaining System This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, fleet management companies, and transportation services to improve the safety and performance of their vehicles.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between normal and abnormal wheel states?

The abstract does not provide specific details on the criteria used to determine abnormal wheel states based on wheel speed differences.

What types of abnormalities can be detected by this system?

The abstract does not specify the range of abnormalities that can be detected by the wheel state obtaining system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wheel state obtaining system configured to obtain a wheel state that is a state of at least one of a plurality of wheels of a vehicle includes: a wheel speed detection device configured to detect a wheel speed of each of the plurality of wheels; a traveling state detection device configured to detect a traveling state of the vehicle; and a controller. When the traveling state of the vehicle detected by the traveling state detection device is a predetermined set state, the controller obtains a wheel speed difference of two of the plurality of wheels based on the wheel speeds of the plurality of wheels detected by the wheel speed detection device. The controller determines whether at least one of the two wheels is in an abnormal state based on the wheel speed difference.
