METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING TIRE WEAR

This disclosure is generally directed to computer-implemented methods and apparatus for calculating and/or monitoring a tire wear rate of a vehicle. [0002] In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for determining tire wear of at least one tire mounted to a vehicle is provided. The method comprises obtaining a vehicle speed information of the vehicle, v, obtaining tire movement data from at least one sensor mounted to the at least one tire or at least one rim of the vehicle, and determining the tire wear based on the tire movement data and vehicle speed information.
