  • removal of at least one wheel stud from the vehicle is determined by means of a magnetic sensor.
  • the magnetic part in the wheel stud or the magnetic element located on the wheel stud is also removed from the vehicle and the rim. This causes changes in the magnetic force on the magnetic sensor which is preferably located in the vehicle. Thanks to the fact that this change is detected by means of the magnetic sensor, removal of the wheel stud, thus the wheel from the vehicle is detected.

  • at least one vehicle specific information (such as the license plate of the vehicle) can also be transmitted to the remote server. Therefore, for example in a fleet tracking system, wheel condition information of each vehicle can be tracked separately.
  • the magnetic sensor comprises at least one reed switch.
  • the magnetic part in the wheel stud or the magnetic element located on the wheel stud brings the reed switch into a closed position. If the wheel stud is removed from the vehicle, the switch is brought into an opened position due to the lack of magnetic force on the reed switch. Thus, it can be detected whether the wheel stud is removed from the vehicle or not.
  • a magnetic force can be generated on the reed switch even when the wheel studs are removed from the vehicle.
  • the magnetic sensor comprises at least two reed switches which are positioned at different distances with respect to the wheel stud or triggered by different magnetic forces.

  • the tracking system comprises at least one position sensor (e.g. GPS).
  • the control unit detects detachment of wheel from the vehicle and/or a drop in the internal pressure of the tire, the position information of the vehicle is transmitted to the remote server in addition to said condition information. Therefore, position-based measures can be taken (such as directing local law enforcement officers to the location of the vehicle in case of a theft) depending on the condition detected.
  • the communication unit comprises at least one GSM connection module.
  • the tracking system comprises at least one aural warning module (e.g. an alarm) which is preferably located at the vehicle and in connection with the control unit.

  • removal of a wheel from the vehicle is determined by removal of at least one magnetic area in at least one wheel stud or at least one magnetic element located on at least one wheel stud from the magnetic sensor.
  • an internal pressure of tire is detected in addition to removal of wheel from the vehicle, it can also be detected for what purpose the wheel is removed from the vehicle.
