Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for a wireless portable tire monitoring system are provided. According to one aspect, wireless portable tire monitoring system includes a portable monitor that receives sensor information from one or more tire-mounted sensors, each sensor being associated with a tire, and each tire being associated with a vehicle, and monitors tire status. Multiple vehicles may be monitored from the same portable monitor, and tires can be dynamically associated with or disassociated from a particular vehicle. Tire status may be displayed to the user in a manner that provides a graphic association between the tire status and the vehicle to which the tire is associated, including showing the location of the tire on the vehicle. The system may asynchronously alert the user if threshold conditions, such as low tire pressure, are detected.
