Abstract
A method of signalling an aquaplaning condition of a tire, the latter rolling on a rolling surface, a footprint area being defined between the tire and the rolling surface, a layer of water being interposed between the tire and the rolling surface, includes: detecting a first signal representative of a deformation of the tire due to rolling of the tire on the rolling surface, the first signal including at least one portion representative of the interaction between the tire and the layer of water; processing the first signal so as to determine a parameter representative of an aquaplaning condition of the tire as a function of the first signal; and generating a notification signal as a function of the at least one parameter. A system for signalling an aquaplaning condition of a tire.
