1. A tire high temperature forecasting system comprising:
at least one tire supporting a vehicle;
at least one sensor mounted on the tire for measuring a temperature of the at least one tire;
an electronic memory capacity in a unit mounted on the at least one tire for storing tire identification information;
a processor in electronic communication with the at least one sensor and the electronic memory capacity, wherein the processor receives and correlates the measured temperature, a time of the temperature measurement, and the tire identification information;
transmission means for transmitting the measured temperature, a time of the temperature measurement, and the tire identification information to a remote processor;
a forecasting model executed by the remote processor, the forecasting model generating a forecast estimate, the forecasting model including a filtering module, the filtering module including a filter sub-module, wherein:
the filter sub-module analyzes the measured temperature under a first condition, wherein the first condition includes comparing the measured tire temperature to a first predetermined high temperature value;
the filter sub-module analyzes the measured temperature under a second condition when the measured tire temperature is equal to or less than the first predetermined high temperature value, wherein the second condition includes comparing the measured tire temperature to a second predetermined high temperature value and an additional state; and
the additional state includes comparing the measured tire temperature to a statistical value, wherein the statistical value includes the sum of a statistical mean of a selected group of temperature measurements plus twice a standard deviation of the selected group of temperature measurements; and
an alert generated by the forecasting model when the forecast estimate includes a predicted high temperature that is greater than a predetermined high temperature threshold for the at least one tire.
