Abstract: Tyre pressure has been shown to have a considerable impact on emissions, tyre lifetime, and vehicle driveability. The indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (iTPMS) is a maintenance-free and more cost-efficient alternative for direct measuring systems (dTPMS) that ensures vehicle driving with correct tyre pressure. However, the application of iTPMS in new vehicle platforms requires a longer process and higher engineering effort. This paper presents a new simplified approach using experimental modal analysis to improve the efficiency of iTPMS application process by classifying tyres regarding their frequency response. The developed approach allows the evaluation of the tyre sensitivity at an early stage with a relatively straightforward test setup. Tyre excitation is performed with an impact hammer, and a single piezoelectric accelerometer records the vibrational response. Six different tyres were tested to validate the potential advantages of the modal analysis and its correlation with driving test measurements.
