Data or information is measured in situ, recorded in a database (3) and can then be sent at a programmed time.

Internal pressures of tires mounted on a vehicle are detected. The detected pressures are then compared with a predetermined pressure value. An alarm message is generated in case one of differences between detected pressures and predetermined pressure value is within the scope of predetermined allowable error and is maintained for a predetermined period. A timer is operated if one of the differenc...
