Abstract
The disclosure relates to systems, methods and computer program products for detecting tire pressure loss in tires of a vehicle. The system comprises a sensor, which is arranged at the vehicle remotely from the tires, mechanically coupled at least indirectly to a chassis of the 5 vehicle, and configured to detect a property indicative of tilting spatial movement of the chassis. The system further comprises a processing unit, which is communicatively coupled with the sensor, configured to receive sensor signals from the sensor, the sensor signals being indicative of tilting spatial movement of the chassis, and configured to detect a tire pressure based on the sensor signals. The processing unit is configured to detect a tire pressure loss responsive to the 10 sensor signals indicating a tilting spatial movement of the chassis towards the at least one tire.
