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: Methods, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products for eliminating the need for a manual tread wear system reset in a tire management system are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method to eliminate the need for a manual tread wear system reset in a tire management system includes a vehicle control system (VCS) of a vehicle receiving a tire identifier for a tire corresponding to a tire sensor. In this embodiment, the vehicle control system determines, based on the tire identifier, whether the tire is in an unused state and calculates, based on whether the tire is in an unused state, a tread depth for the tire.

Abstract: Determining tread depth using data from a tire mounted sensor (TMS), including: determining, based on data collected by the tire mounted sensor, a tire deformation for a tire; determining, based on the tire deformation, an effective rolling radius of the tire; and determining, based at least on the effective rolling radius of the tire, an estimated tread depth for the tire.
