Pirelli recently announced a tire can be networked, although it can not read a newspaper for you, but to your car and other nearby motorists send traffic information about road conditions and other data to ensure traffic safety. The tires built networked disk size of a coin, which is equipped with a sensor, a processor and an electronic communication device. This disc can monitor some of the key data of the vehicle when traveling, and send it to your car’s ECU and other nearby sites.
For example, if your car rolls over puddles, this tire can help you avoid a collision, but also to remind the driver in front of you behind there Danger. If the tire you encounter dangerous road conditions, it can inform the car to adjust the working state of the engine, traction control, and even the suspension settings. It can also monitor tire less important information, such as wear of the tread, tire pressure, tire mild multi-axis accelerometers.
While certain networking tire force times resistance for the road, but they also the sensor unit is mounted to a set of P-Zero Trofeo tires were tested. In a closed test track, with the A8 networked sensor detects a successful tire wet ground, and transmits the information to the immediately following Q8. Q8 before reaching the network received through 5G wetland to this information.
Although networking tire technology is not yet fully implemented, but it now has been used in the trucking industry. This technology saves a lot of time checking tire pressure, because they know exactly what needs pneumatic tire, which does not require pneumatic tire truck mechanic. Long-term road test remains to be seen, but things seem to be moving in the right direction of the tire road safety a step.
