FORM 2 THE PATENTS ACT 1970 [39 OF 1970] & The Patents Rules, 2003 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION [See section 10 and rule 13] TITLE: “MONITORING WEAR OF A TYRE OF A VEHICLE” Name and address of the Applicant: TATA MOTORS PASSENGER VEHICLES LIMITED, an Indian company having its registered office at Floor 3, 4, Plot-18, Nanavati Mahalaya, Mudhana Shetty Marg, BSE, Fort, Mumbai, Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400001 Nationality: INDIAN The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed. FIELD OF INVENTION Present disclosure relates in general to a field of automobiles. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to determining wear of a tyre. Further, embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and a system for determining wear of the tyre in the vehicle. BACKGROUND Generally, vehicles such as buses, trucks, utility vehicles, goods transport, large motor homes, passenger vehicles, and other transportation vehicles are provided with different types of tyres. The tyres of the vehicle wear out at different rates and the tyre wear is dependent of various factors such as, conditions of the terrain being traversed by the vehicle, load on the vehicle, and topography of the terrain, among others. Generally, treads of the tyre is subjected to wear, which causes degradation of various factors influencing operation of the vehicle such as safety, reliability, and performance. Therefore, wear of treads in the tyre is to be measured and monitored for optimizing operation of the vehicle. Conventionally, wear of the tyres is determined by visual inspection by a driver/user of the vehicle. The driver is required to carry out periodic visual inspections to determine wear of tyre before starting a journey. However, such conventional means of determining tyre wear are prone to human errors and are completely dependent on individual’s analysis of the tyre. With advancements in technologies, attempts have been made to install and mount sensors inside the tyre to determine wears. However, such conventional technologies for determining tyre wear through sensors are inaccurate. Conventionally, data such as the speed of rotation of the wheel, and distance traversed by the vehicle were used to estimate the wear of tyres. However, the above-described data/parameters often resulted in inaccurate estimation of the tyre wear. The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with prior arts. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One or more shortcomings of the conventional system or device are overcome, and additional advantages are provided through the provision of the assembly as claimed in the present disclosure.

The following paragraphs describe the present disclosure with reference to Figures. 1 to 4. Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram of a system (200) for monitoring wear of a tyre (205) in a vehicle. The vehicle may be, for example, cars, trucks, etc. The system (200) may include a plurality of tyres (205) [hereinafter referred to as “tyre” or “tyres”] which may be rotatably coupled to a frame [not shown for the sake of simplicity] of the vehicle. The tyres (205) may be driven by a powertrain which may be accommodated on the frame of the vehicle. In an embodiment, the powertrain may be a source which provides mechanical energy, and the power train may be a source including but not limited to an electric motor, an internal combustion engine, a hydrogen fuel cell, and a combination thereof. The system (200) includes one or more sensors (201) [hereinafter individually referred to as “sensor” and collectively as “sensors”] which are mounted in a portion of each of the tyres (205). The sensors (201) may be mounted at the portion of the tyre (205) including a tread of the tyre (205), one or more grooves defined between the treads of the tyre (205). In an embodiment, mounting the sensors (201) in the grooves of the tyres (205) ensures that the sensors (201) are not completely exposed to the path being traversed by the vehicle if the tyres are not worn out. . As the tyres (205) wear, the exposure of the sensors (201) to the path being traversed by the vehicle increases. For instance, as the wear of the tyres increases and the thickness of the treads reduces, the distance between the sensors and the path increases. Accordingly, the temperature and the pressure sensed by the sensors (210) increases progressively with the wear of the tyre (205) due to the increased exposure of the sensors (201) to the path being traversed by the vehicle. The sensors (201) may be configured to detect data including but not limited to a temperature and a pressure on the portion of the tyre (205). The sensors (201) may be configured to detect the temperature and the pressure on treads of the tyre (205) and sensors (201) may be configured to wirelessly transmit the detected data to a source in the vehicle. In an embodiment, multiple sensors (201) may be mounted in an equidistant manner in the grooves of the tyres (205). In an embodiment, the sensors (201) may be mounted in the groove of the tyres (205) using means including adhesives that ensure that the sensors are strongly attached to the tyre surface, so that the sensors are not detached from the surface of the tyre over the course of usage of the vehicle. An example adhesive used is Silicone adhesive MasterSil 151TC. The system (200) further includes a control unit (202) that is associated with the vehicle. the control unit (202) may be communicatively coupled to the sensors (201) mounted in the tyres (205). The control unit (202) may be configured to receive signals wirelessly and the signals may correspond to at least one of the temperature and the pressure, acting on the treads of the tyre (205). The control unit (202) may be further configured to determine the temperature and the pressure acting on the tread of the tyres (205) based on the received signals when the vehicle is being traversed on a path. The control unit (202) is configured to compare the determined temperature with a predefined threshold temperature (202d) and to compare the determined pressure with a predefined threshold pressure (202e). The control unit (202) may be configured to determine the wear of the tyre (205) based on the comparison of determined temperature with the predefined threshold temperature (202d) and the comparison of the determined pressure with a predefined threshold pressure (202e). The system (200) may also include an indication unit (203) that is accommodated in the vehicle and indication unit (203) may be communicatively coupled to the control unit (202) to provide signals to a user. The indication unit (203) may be one of an audio signal and/or a visual signal that may be provided to the user. The indication unit (203) may be an audio signal on a speaker, a visual indication on a dashboard of the vehicle, and a visual indication of the vehicle. The control unit (202) may be configured to transmit a signal to the indication unit (203) when the control unit (202) determines that the tyre (205) is worn out based on the comparison of the determined temperature with the predefined threshold temperature (202d) and the comparison of the determined pressure with the predefined threshold pressure (202e). Figure 2 illustrates a block diagram of components in the control unit (202) of the system (200). The control unit (202) may be a dedicated unit for determining tyre (205) wear. The control unit (202) may also be at least one of body control unit, brake control unit, and among others capable of communicating and/or indicating to the driver/user pertaining to wear of the tyres (205) of the vehicle. The control unit (202) may include a processor (202a), a memory (202b) and one or more modules (202m) [hereinafter referred to as “module” or “modules”] that are associated with the processor (202a). The processor (202a) may be configured to perform functions such as determining the temperature and the pressure on the tread of the tyre (205) based on the signals received by the sensors (201) associated with the tyres (205). The processor (202a) may also be configured to conduct comparison of the determined temperature with the predefined threshold temperature (202d) and the comparison of the determined pressure with the predefined threshold pressure (202e). Further, the memory (202b) may be communicatively coupled to the processor (202a). In an embodiment, the data stored in the memory (202b) may include, without limitation, the predefined threshold temperature (202d) and the predefined threshold pressure (202e). In an embodiment, the data may be predefined threshold temperature (202d) and predefined threshold pressure (202e) that is already fed into the control unit (202) based on the configuration/dimensions/type of the tyres (205) in the vehicle. In an embodiment, the predefined threshold temperature (202d) may be temperature detected by the sensors (201) when the tyre (205) is worn out. In an embodiment, the predefined threshold pressure (202e) may be pressure on the sensors (201) in the treads of the tyres (205) when the tyre (205) is worn out. As the vehicle is traversed over the path, the friction between the tyre (205) and the path generates heat. This heat is further transmitted towards the sensor (201) accommodated in the groove of the tyre (205). Further, as the vehicle traverses for long distances and as the tread of the tyre (205) is subjected to wear, the exposure of the sensor (201) to the path being traversed by the vehicle increases. Consequently, the temperature sensed by the sensor (201) also increases progressively with the wear of the tyre (205). In an embodiment, the temperature sensed by the sensor (201) is at least one of by conduction through treads of the tyre (205) and by convection of the heat from the path being traversed by the vehicle. Further, as the vehicle traverses over the path, the vehicle may also exert pressure onto the sensors (201) accommodated in the groove of the tyres (205). This pressure on the sensor (201) is detected by the sensor (201) and a corresponding signal is transmitted to the control unit (202). Furthermore, as the tread of the tyre (205) wears, the sensor (201) becomes more exposed to the path being traversed by the vehicle. Consequently, pressure that is sensed by the sensor (201) increases progressively due to a higher exposure to the path traversed. In an embodiment, data may be stored within the memory (202b) in the form of various data structures. Additionally, the data may be organized using data models, such as relational or hierarchical data models. The other data may include various temporary data and files generated by the modules (202m). Furthermore, the term module may refer to an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), 5 an electronic circuit, a hardware processor (shared, dedicated, or group) and memory that execute one or more software or firmware programs, a combinational logic circuit, and/or other suitable components that provide the described functionality. The modules (202m) may include a receiving module (202x), a determining and comparing module (202y) and an indicating module (202z). 0 The receiving module (202x) may be configured to receive signals corresponding to the temperature and the pressure of the tread of the tyre (205), in real-time from the sensors (201) associated with the tyres (205). In an embodiment, the receiving module (202x) may be configured to receive a voltage value and a current value that is transmitted based on the 5 detected pressure and temperature at the tread of the tyres (205) and is measured by the sensors (201) associated with the tyres (205). Further, the determining and comparing module (202y) may be configured to process the received signals from the one or more sensors (201) to determine the temperature and pressure at the tread of the tyres (205). The determining and comparing module (202y) may be associated with the memory (202b) of the control unit (202) 0 such that the determining and comparing module (202y) compares the determined temperature at the tread of the tyres (205) with the predefined threshold temperature (202d). The determining and comparing module (202y) may be configured to compare if the determined temperature at the tread of the tyres (205) is equal to or greater than the predefined threshold temperature (202d). The determining and comparing module (202y) may check if the condition 5 in the below equation number 1 is true. Determined temperature at the tread of the tyre ≥ Predefined threshold temperature….(1). The control unit (202) may be configured to interpret that the tyre (205) has worn out when the 0 above condition in the equation number (1) is considered to be true. Further, the determining and comparing module (202y) may also be configured to compare the determined pressure at the tread of the tyres (205) with the predefined threshold pressure (202e). The determining and comparing module (202y) may be configured to compare if the 5 determined pressure at the tread of the tyres (205) is equal to or greater than the predefined 10 threshold pressure (202e). The determining and comparing module (202y) may check if the condition in the below equation number 2 is true. Determined pressure at the tread of the tyre ≥ Predefined threshold pressure….(2). 5 The control unit (202) may be configured to interpret that the tyre (205) has worn out when the above condition in the equation number (2) is considered to be true. Furthermore, the indicating module (202z) may be associated with indication unit (203) of the 10 vehicle. Based on the above comparison, the indicating module (202z) may send a signal to the indication unit (203) if one of the above conditions mentioned in the equation number (1) and the equation number (2) are rendered to be true i.e., if one of the conditions of determined temperature at the tread of the tyres (205) being greater than the predefined threshold temperature (202d) or determined pressure at the tread of the tyres (205) being greater than the 15 predefined threshold pressure (202e), is true. The indicating unit (203) may provide an audio and/or visual signal to the user indicating to the user that the tyre (205) is worn out. In an embodiment, the indication unit (203) may be the audio signal on the speaker, the visual indication on the dashboard of the vehicle, and the visual indication on the head unit of the vehicle. 20 In an embodiment, the determination of the tyre (205) being worn out may be based on a combination of the conditions described in the equation number (1) i.e., determination as to whether temperature at the tread of the tyres (205) exceeds the predefined threshold temperature (202d) and equation number (2) i.e., determination as to whether pressure at the 25 tread of the tyres (205) exceeds the predefined threshold pressure (202e). In an embodiment, predefined weightages may be provided to results of comparison of the condition in the equation number (1) and the condition in the equation number (2). In an illustrative example, the predefined weightage for determining the wear of the tyre (205) based on the equation number (1) may be 0.6 and the predefined weightage for determining the wear of the tyre (205) 30 based on the equation number (2) may be 0.4. Further, the determination of the tyre (205) being worn out may be based on 0.6 significance to the results from the condition in the equation number (1) and 0.4 significance to results from the condition in the equation number (2). the weightage given to the condition in the equation number (1) and the condition in the equation number (2) must not be considered in a limiting sense and the same may be varied on various 35 operational conditions including but not limited to the terrain the vehicle is being traversed 11 through, and the weather conditions that the vehicle is traversed through. For instance, higher weightage may be given to the condition in the equation number (2) i.e., determined pressure at the tread of the tyres (205) being greater than the predefined threshold pressure (202e), and lesser weightage may be provide to the conditions described in the equation number (1) i.e., determined temperature at the tread of the tyres (205) being greater than the predefined threshold temperature (202d), if the vehicle is being traversed through regions of severely low temperatures or high temperatures. In an example, the predefined threshold temperature (202d) may be 80 degree Celsius, and the predefined threshold pressure (202e) may be 50 bar. Further, the predefined weightage for determining the wear of the tyre (205) based on the equation number (1) may be 0.9 and the same is further referred with the parameter of first weightage (W1). The predefined weightage for determining the wear of the tyre (205) based on the equation number (2) may be 0.1 and the same is further referred with the parameter of second weightage (W2). Furthermore, the overall threshold value of 0.5 may be assigned for determining if the tyre (205) has been worn out. In an example, the temperature sensed by the sensor (201) may be 110 degree Celsius and the pressure sensed by the sensor (201) may be 40 bar. Further, the control unit (202) may check for the condition in the equation number (1) i.e., the sensed temperature of the tyre (205) of 110 degree Celsius may be compared with the predefined threshold temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. The control unit (202) may further determine that the sensed temperature at the tread of the tyre (205) is greater than the predefined threshold temperature of the tyre (205). Subsequently, the control unit (202) may conclude the result of the above comparison to be equivalent to the numerical value of “1” when the determined temperature at the tread of the tyre (205) is greater than the predefined threshold temperature. The above determined numerical value that is based on comparison of the determined temperature at the tread of the tyre (205) with the predefined threshold temperature may be hereinafter referred with the parameter “T”. Further, the control unit (202) may check for the condition in the equation number (2) i.e., the control unit (202) may check if the determined pressure of 40 bar at the tread of the tyre (205) is greater than the predefined threshold pressure of 50 bar. Subsequently, the control unit (202) may conclude the result of the above comparison to be equivalent to the numerical value of “0” since the determined pressure at the tread of the tyre (205) is lower than the predefined threshold pressure. The above determined numerical value that is based on comparison of the determined pressure at the tread of the tyre (205) with the predefined threshold pressure may be hereinafter referred with the parameter “P”. The control unit (202) 12 may further determine a weighted result (WR) based on the above determined parameters of (W1), (W2), (T) and (P). The control unit (202) may determine the weighted result (WR) based on the below equation number (3) 5 WR (Weighted result) = W1*T + W2*P (3) W1: The first weightage for determining the wear of the tyre (205) based on the equation number (1). Further, the numerical value of W1 may range between “0” and “1”. W2: The second weightage for determining the wear of the tyre (205) based on the equation number (2). Further, the numerical value of W2 may range between “0” and “1” and the 0 numerical value of W2 = 1-W1. T: Numerical value that is based on comparison of the determined temperature at the tread of the tyre (205) with the predefined threshold temperature. The numerical value of "T" may be “0” or “1”. The numerical value of “T” may be “1” when the determined temperature at the tread of the tyre (205) is greater than the predefined threshold temperature and the numerical 5 value of “T” may be “0” when the determined temperature at the tread of the tyre (205) is lesser than the predefined threshold temperature. P: Numerical value that is based on comparison of the determined pressure at the tread of the tyre (205) with the predefined threshold pressure. The numerical value of "P" may be “0” or “1”. The numerical value of “P” may be “1” when the determined pressure at the tread of the 0 tyre (205) is greater than the predefined threshold pressure and the numerical value of “P” may be “0” when the determined pressure at the tread of the tyre (205) is lesser than the predefined threshold pressure. The control unit (202) may be configured to multiply the results of the numerical value of “1” 5 (T) determined from the above equation number (1) with the first weightage of 0.9 (W1) from the equation number (1), to determine a first weighted product and the same is 0.9. The control unit (202) may also be configured to multiply the results of the numerical value of “0” (P) determined from the above equation number (2) with the second weightage of 0.1 (W2) from the equation number (2) to determine a second weighted product and the same is “0”. The 0 Control unit (202) may lastly add the values of 0.9 (first weighted product i.e., W1*T) and 0 (second weighted product i.e., W1*P) and the resultant of the same may be the weighted result (WR) which is equal to 0.9. Further, the control unit (202) may compare the above weighted result (WR) of 0.9 with the overall threshold value of 0.5. Since, the value of weighted result (WR) of 0.9 is greater than the overall threshold value of 0.5 (WR>Overall threshold), the 13 control unit (202) determines that the tyre (205) has worn out. However, if the value of weighted result (WR) is lesser than the overall threshold value (WROverall threshold), the control unit (202) determines that the tyre (205) has worn out. However, if the value of weighted result (WR) is lesser than the overall threshold value (WR
