Abstract
A computer based system for adjusting the pressure in pneumatic tires prompts the operator for pressure and vehicle type information. Comparison of vehicle type with predetermined pressure ranges is used to detect erroneously entered pressure values. A remote pressure sensor is used together with a intermittent inflation/deflation schedule to permit equalization of the hose and tire pressure without metering valves. The sampling rate of pressure in the schedule is based on total tire volume input by the user or deduced from the inflation rate.
