Abstract

See full text

Various techniques are disclosed for systems and methods using small form factor infrared imaging modules to monitor various components of a vehicle wheel assembly. For example, a vehicle-mounted system may include one or more infrared imaging modules, a processor, a memory, a display, a communication module, and a vehicle speed sensor. The vehicle-mounted system may be mounted on, installed in, or otherwise integrated into a vehicle that has one or more wheel assemblies. The one or more infrared imaging modules may be configured to capture thermal images of desired portions of the wheel assemblies. Various thermal image analytics and profiling may be performed on the captured thermal images to determine the operating condition of various components of the wheel assemblies and to detect abnormalities. Monitoring information may be generated based on the detected condition and abnormalities, and presented to a driver or other occupants onboard the vehicle in real time.
