Tire Pressure Monitoring

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) use wireless sensors to measure tire pressure and alert drivers when the pressure reaches potentially unsafe levels.

What is IoT-Enabled Tire Pressure Monitoring?

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) use IoT-enabled wireless sensors in commercial or consumer tires to measure tire pressure and alert drivers when tire pressure reaches potentially unsafe levels.

Value Proposition

In 2017, 738 total motor vehicle traffic fatalities were caused by tire-related crashes. Besides the danger to human life, unsafe tire pressure can reduce vehicle performance and fuel efficiency and cause costly downtime to logistics fleets if managed improperly.

TPMS eliminates the need for drivers to manually check tire pressure, likewise eliminating the potential for human error. These systems ensure that tire pressure is always at optimal levels, not only preventing accidents but increasing fuel efficiency and reducing the daily wear and tear on tires.

How it Works

Tire pressure monitoring systems can be direct or indirect. Direct systems measure the actual air pressure inside of a tire and indirect systems measure the speed of tire rotations to determine if tire performance is outside of normal levels. Both systems send alerts to the user’s mobile device if tire pressure decreases below safe levels or is changing quickly, allowing users to seek repairs immediately or before getting back on the road.

Key Benefits of IoT-Enabled Tire Pressure Monitoring

  • Monitors tire pressure constantly and sends an alert if the pressure reaches unsafe levels to ensure safe driving conditions and prevent accidents.
  • Extends the lifespan of tires by reducing wear and tear due to low tire pressure.
  • Improves overall driving performance and fuel efficiency by constantly ensuring optimal tire pressure.
  • Eliminates the potential for human error in monitoring tire pressure levels.
  • Alerts users remotely if the tires are tampered with or damaged, ensuring that there are no surprises when they get into the vehicle.
