Tire Monitoring System For Safer Driving

What if your tires could warn you before trouble strikes? Discover how smart systems protect drivers by detecting pressure loss and loose wheels. Read more!

Tires are often overlooked but are important for driving safety. Low tire pressure or loose wheels can cause breakdowns and create dangerous situations. Systems that monitor tire conditions and alert the driver in time can help prevent these issues. Various technologies are available to monitor tire health, either through sensors in the tires or by analyzing vehicle behaviour. Bosch is expanding its software solutions for tire health, offering them as part of its data-driven service within the Bosch Vehicle Motion Management ecosystem, a comprehensive software solution for vehicle motion. Bosch is partnering with other companies to enhance this offering.

Data-based Tire Solutions is an innovative service that uses various algorithms to continuously monitor tire condition and alert the driver to early signs of gradual pressure loss or loose wheel bolts. The data-based tire system is suitable for various users, including vehicle manufacturers looking to integrate this technology into new models for enhanced safety, fleet operators managing multiple vehicles who can reduce maintenance costs and prevent breakdowns, car owners seeking to improve their vehicle’s reliability with early tire issue warnings, automotive service providers offering better maintenance and support, and insurance companies potentially providing better coverage or incentives to customers using the system to prevent tire-related accidents. In short, anyone aiming to enhance vehicle safety and tire health can benefit from this solution.

The data-based tire system monitors each tire individually and continuously, notifying drivers of gradual pressure loss or loose wheels through an easy-to-use interface. One new algorithm detects even small changes in tire pressure, alerting drivers when the pressure deviates by about 5 per cent from the nominal value. If needed, the system provides a warning. Once the tire pressure is restored, the Easy Reset function allows a simple system reset. Another algorithm detects loose wheel bolts, even when they are just half a millimetre off, a change that is hard for untrained drivers to notice. In addition to offering early warnings, the system also suggests specific actions. With data-based tire solutions, drivers can prevent breakdowns and improve safety on every drive.
