A method for warning deflation of tires which can detect the deflation of
2 wheels at the same axle including a following axle, the simultaneous
deflation of 4 wheels or the abrasion of tires only by the information of
wheel speeds is provided. The method comprises the steps of: detecting
the rotational information of each of tires; calculating and storing
wheel speeds, vehicle accelerations, slip ratios of front and rear
wheels, traveling distances and radius of traveling circle from the
rotational information of said respective tires; calculating moving
average of the vehicle accelerations and the slip ratios of front and
rear wheels; accumulating the traveling distances and storing the moving
averages of the vehicle accelerations and the slip ratios of front and
rear wheels; determining regression coefficient and correlation
coefficient of the slip ratio of front and rear wheels on the vehicle
acceleration; determining the slip ratio of front and rear wheels when
the vehicle acceleration is zero; determining whether the pressures of at
least 2 wheels at the same axle or 4 wheels are simultaneously reduced or
not, based on the regression coefficients and the slip ratio of front and
rear wheels while the vehicle acceleration is zero; and warning deflation
of tires.
