Zusammenfassung:A system for monitoring at least one physical characteristic of an endless track includes a sensor removably received within the endless track and at least one probe received within the endless track. The sensor is adapted for wireless communication with a receiver. The at least one probe is adapted for operative communication with the sensor, and for detecting the at least one physical characteristic of the endless track and conveying the at least one physical characteristic to be sensed by the sensor. An endless track having a housing embedded in one inner lug is also provided. The housing includes a receptacle received in the inner lug and a lid removably connected to the receptacle for selectively providing access to an interior of the receptacle. The sensor is receivable in the housing. A method for assessing a secondary physical characteristic of an endless track is also provided.
