A wheel speed transducer including a magnetic device associated with a
wheel and a sensor device associated with the axle of the wheel provides
data indicative of the velocity of the wheel. A processor located at the
axle receives the wheel speed data and processes it to perform antiskid
control functions. The velocity data is stored in a data concentrator
also associated with the axle. A tire pressure sensor, a brake
temperature sensor and a brake torque sensor, each associated with the
wheel, send data to the processor at the axle, for storage in the data
concentrator. A transmitting antenna associated with the axle and in
communication with the data concentrator transmits stored data to a
receiving antenna associated with the wheel. A data port at the wheel and
in communication with the receiving antenna provides an interface to an
external device for receiving the data.
