Abstract
A system for monitoring a vehicle fitted with pneumatic tires has, on at least one wheel of the vehicle, a pressure sensor for sensing the tire inflation pressure, and a deformation sensor joined to the tire for sensing deformations of the tire. A data transmission device transmits the output signals from the sensors to an analysis device, which determines from the output signals a result in dependence on the output signals from the two sensors. Frequency-dependent analysis is employed to derive, from the output signals from the deformation sensor, a signal corresponding to the static loading on the tire and a signal corresponding to the nature of the road surface.
