Abstract
A vehicle including a first sensor, a second sensor and a processor is disclosed. The first sensor may be configured to measure first inputs associated with a vehicle wheel, and the second sensor may be configured to measure second inputs associated with the vehicle wheel. The processor may estimate a first distance travelled by the vehicle wheel for a predefined time duration on a vehicle trip based on the first inputs, and a second distance travelled by the vehicle wheel for the predefined time duration on the vehicle trip based on the second inputs. The processor may further calculate a difference between the second distance and the first distance, and perform a predefined action when the difference may be greater than a predefined threshold.
