Abstract

A system for monitoring tire pressure of at least one vehicle tire of a utility vehicle includes a pressure sensor for detecting an internal tire pressure of the at least one vehicle tire and an electrically controllable tire inflation system for varying the internal tire pressure. The system also includes a monitoring unit disposed in communication with the pressure sensor and the tire inflation system. The monitoring unit identifies a defect-induced loss of pressure in the at least one vehicle tire based on the detected internal tire pressure, determines a temporal progression of the detected defect-induced loss of pressure, calculates a volume flow necessary for continuous compensation of the pressure loss based on the temporal progression, and controls the volume flow into the at least one vehicle tire via the tire inflation system.
