ABSTRACT:
A device and process for monitoring the condition of the tires of a vehicle and of their environment is disclosed. The device uses a central unit and a wheel module with at least one measuring sensor for each wheel. The module is electrically connected to a rotating antenna firmly attached to the hub of the wheel, as well as a stationary antenna firmly attached to the hub housing of the wheel and connected to the rotating antenna. The stationary antenna is electrically connected to the central unit for transmitting to the driver the results of the measurements and/or an alarm if an abnormal condition of the tires is detected and the antennae being laid out in the environment of the braking mechanisms of the wheel and characterized in that it includes a sensor for estimating the temperature of the braking mechanism. The sensor includes one of the antennae being sensitive to variations in temperature.
