Abstract
The invention relates to the in-service monitoring of the condition of a tire of a wheel of a vehicle. To this end it proposes a process and, in particular, a device comprising: a sensor ( ) mounted on the wheel, coupling means (BVF , BRF ) for transmitting to the vehicle indications derived from this sensor ( ), and electrical energizing means (BVF , BRF ). According to the invention, the sensor ( ) is a miniature acceleration-sensitive sensor implanted in the tread of the tire or in the vicinity of the tread. The coupling means, mounted on the wheel, then transmit indications relating to the measurements made at the moment at which the tread is in contact with the ground.
