Detects drop in tire pressure

The RPA records the wheel speeds using the wheel-speed sensors from the DSC. The RPA compares the speeds of the individual wheels and computes an average speed. In this way the RPA is able to detect a loss of tire pressure. (In the event of a tire losing pressure, the tire rolling circumference of the affected tire is also reduced.)
