How Smart Tyres Are Enhancing Vehicle Dynamics and Maintenance in Connected Cars?
This has been significantly enhanced by the rapid development of digital technology, which has transformed the automotive environment in the world. As automotive vehicles grow more and more automated and more connected, every component is currently under review to contribute to the overall levels of intelligence and efficiency, including the tyres. Tradition has it that tyres were all mechanical parts that were meant to lift the weight of the vehicle, cushion against shocks and give traction. But due to the rise of smart tyres that contain embedded sensors, they have become smart systems that can obtain and send live information that directly affects the safety, performance, and maintenance plans. Smart tyres contain miniature sensors that are installed in the strategic points of the tyre, like the tread, sidewall or inner liner. The sensors keep track of such important parameters as pressure, temperature, tread depth, wear rate, and road conditions. The gathered information is further...
