Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for compensating footprint length for inflation pressure changes in tires. Various embodiment can receive a tire pressure measurement for a tire and an uncompensated footprint length for the tire. Various embodiments can calculate an inflation difference between the tire pressure measurement and a target tire pressure for the tire. Then, various embodiments can calculate an inflation ratio by at least on finding a quotient of the inflation difference over the target tire pressure for the tire. Based at least on the inflation ratio, various embodiments can determine a compensated footprint length. Then, various embodiments can send the compensated footprint length to a vehicle system.
