Abstract
A tire blowout control system for a vehicle that has multiple wheels. Each of the wheels has a tire. The system includes a wheel speed sensor and a pressure sensor. The system also includes a first processor to receive the wheel speed, and a second processor to receive the pressure signals. The system also includes a third processor to receive signals from the first processor and the second processor, to generate a tire blowout signal based on the signals from the first processor and the second processor, and to activate an active safety system and a passive safety system with the tire blowout signal.
