DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR TIRE FAILURE DETECTION, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING TIRE FAILURE DETECTION PROGRAM

A tire failure detection device includes a steering angle sensor for sensing a steering angle, a yaw rate sensor for sensing a yaw rate, and a control unit. The control unit calculates side-slip energy based on the output signal of the steering angle sensor and the output signal of the yaw rate sensor, and determines that a failure has occurred in a tire when the side-slip energy exceeds a first threshold.
