Abstract

A system for detecting a deflated tire on a vehicle. The system includes an evaluating process that determines when a tire is likely to be deflated and issues a warning when the evaluating process determines a tire is likely to be deflated. The system further includes a feedback component that provides feedback to the evaluating process indicating whether the issued warning was erroneous. In one aspect of the invention, the feedback component makes corrections to the evaluating process. In another aspect of the invention, the feedback component is a direct feedback component. In yet another aspect of the invention, the feedback component is an inferred feedback component.
