A tire inflation pressure sensing apparatus includes a pressure sensor, a
transmitter, a transceiver, a receiver, and a determining device. The
pressure sensor and transceiver are provided on a wheel of a vehicle,
while the transmitter, receiver, and determining device are provided on
the body of the vehicle. The pressure sensor works to generate a pressure
signal representative of the inflation pressure of a tire on the wheel.
The transmitter works to send out a predetermined radio wave. The
transceiver is configured to receive the predetermined radio wave and
send out the pressure signal when a transmission of the pressure signal
is required and a level of the received predetermined radio wave has
reached a predetermined level. The receiver works to receive the pressure
signal from the transceiver. The determining device is configured to
determine the inflation pressure of the tire based on the pressure signal
received via the receiver.
