Abstract
A system for detecting deviation of center of weight of a vehicle from a geometric center of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling that includes a central processor and a plurality of wheels with tires, wherein each tire includes a deformation sensor, a pressure sensor, a tire processor, and a data transmitter. The deformation sensors are attached to a specific area on the inner side of the tire, and designed to produce deformation signals by measuring or sensing frequencies and amplitudes of vibrations or bends of the tire when the specific area crosses the contact patch of the tire with the ground, and the data transmitter is designed to transmit to the central processor the deformation signals and detected tire pressures of the tires, and the central processor detects the deviation based on differences in the deformation signals and detected pressures.
