1. A method for providing real-time tire pressure information, the method comprising:
collecting input values from one or more sensors, at least one of the one or more sensors comprising a tire inflation pressure sensor configured to generate event-based signals corresponding to detected changes per unit pressure, the collected input values corresponding to each of a contained tire air temperature, a contained tire inflation pressure, and an ambient temperature associated with a tire mounted on a vehicle;
determining an effective tire inflation pressure based on the generated signals and further at least on a calculated moving average of the ambient temperature; and
generating real-time notifications associated with the determined effective tire inflation pressure to a specified user interface via a communications network.
