Abstract
A TPMS auto localization system for on-demand tire parameter acquisition and an associated method includes a central unit configured to receive and transmit radio-frequency (RF) signals, and a tire module associated with a tire. The tire module is configured to measure one or more tire parameters based on a received low frequency (LF) command and transmit the one or more tire parameters to the central unit. A repeater module is associated with the tire module, and is configured to receive the RF signal from the central unit and translate the RF signal into a LF command to be transmitted to the tire module.
