Abstract
A wear computing system (100, 200, 300) for computing a wear of a wheel (3) of a vehicle (2) comprises a revolution sensor (48) configured to detect a number of revolutions of the wheel (3), an acceleration sensor (49) configured to detect an acceleration of the vehicle (2) in a travel direction thereof, and a control unit (7) configured to compute a travel distance of the vehicle from the acceleration of the vehicle, and compute the wear from the travel distance and the number of revolutions of the wheel (3).
