Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, systems for enhanced tracking of tire tread wear are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a tire monitoring sensor (TMS) detects a tread wear reporting event, generates tread wear data including at least a rotational time period, and transmits the tread wear data to a vehicle control system (VCS). The rotational time period may be a measure of time the tire takes to complete a particular number of revolutions. The VCS receives, from the TMS, the tread wear data including at least the rotational time period, determines a current circumference of the tire based on at least the rotational time period, and determines a tread wear value based on at least the current circumference.

Abstract: A tire monitor includes a sensor generating tire data. The tire monitor is configured to wake in response to a low frequency interrupt signal received from a remote source. Upon waking, the tire monitor scans Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) channels to establish a BLE connection with the remote source. The tire monitor communicates with the remote source over the BLE connection.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for using a secure wireless protocol within a wireless battery management system are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a first wireless component of the BMS determines, based on a freshness value counter, a first freshness value. The first wireless component generates a message body comprising the first freshness value and a data payload. In this embodiment, the first wireless component uses a first session key shared with a second wireless component of the BMS, to encrypt the message body and generate a message authentication code based on the encrypted message body and the first session key. The first wireless component transmits to the second wireless component, a message that includes the encrypted message body and the message authentication tag.

Abstract: Embodiments included herein are directed towards systems and methods for tire pressure monitoring. Embodiments may include transmitting a first Bluetooth Low Energy (“BLE”) event at a Phase Auto-Location (“PAL”) block associated with a vehicle electronic control unit (“ECU”). Embodiments may further include generating a random number to be used for an inter-event delay associated with a BLE system, wherein the inter-event delay includes a fixed time and a randomized delay. Embodiments may also include calculating a time for the randomized delay and adding the time to an encoded Look Back Time (“LBT”) from the first BLE event to generate frame contents. Embodiments may further include providing the frame contents and the random number to a stack for transmission.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for sensor auto-location using phased antenna array beamforming are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method of sensor auto-location using phased antenna array beamforming includes sending a radio frequency (RF) signal beam directed towards a given tire placement direction of a vehicle. In this embodiment, the method includes receiving an acknowledgement from a sensor and determining whether one or more signal attributes indicated in the acknowledgement are within one or more predefined ranges for the one or more signal attributes and corresponding to the given tire placement direction. In response to the one or more signal attributes being within the one or more predefined ranges, the method includes determining that the sensor is fitted on the given tire placement direction.

Abstract: A method establishes a vehicle area network on a vehicle having a tractor with a tractor wireless hub, the tractor being connected to a first trailer having a first trailer wireless hub. The method activates the tractor hub and the first trailer wireless hub, and shares credentials between the tractor wireless hub and the first trailer wireless hub in accordance with out of band pairing techniques. Typically, the tractor wireless hub acts as an access point for the vehicle area network but the access point can be centralized by: searching down a length of the vehicle to determine relative locations of the tractor wireless hub, the first trailer wireless hub and the second trailer wireless hub; determining a centrally located hub based on the locations; and establishing the centrally located hub as the access point.

Abstract: A system for measuring brake data from a braking assembly of a vehicle. The braking assembly includes a floating portion that moves relative to brake pad wear. The system includes a brake sensor for each wheel. The brake sensors include a fixed sensing element and a target portion attached for movement with the floating portion. The sensing element generates a signal indicating a position of the target portion. The signal is used to determine brake pad thickness. The brake sensor also transmits the signal over a wireless vehicle area network for receipt and processing by a wireless hub in the vehicle area network. The vehicle area network can generate and transmit an alert and/or instructions for an autonomous vehicle based on the signal.
