VEHICLE WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAVING IMPROVED MONITORING CAPABILITIES FOR VARIOUS VEHICLE CONDITIONS AND MONITORING DEVICE FOR ACCOMPLISHING SUCH MONITORING

A monitoring device includes a housing adhered to a drop well of a wheel inside of a vehicle tire. The housing rotates with the wheel. An electrical circuit disposed within the housing. The electrical circuit including a load sensing device disposed within the housing. The load sensing device sensing forces exerted on the wheel. A transceiver coupled to the electrical circuit. The transceiver communicates load data sensed by the load sensing device to components exterior of the wheel.
