Low tire pressure is a common problem that can lead to costly consequences, such as reduced fuel efficiency, uneven tire wear, and even accidents. Two leading solutions, one hardware-based (dTPMS) and one software-based (iTPMS) are dominating the market. The more sustainable choice has always been iTPMS, where no batteries or sensors are being used. Now the next-generation iTPMS is here and it provides detailed insights into tire pressure levels, making it easier to maintain proper inflation. Also, the new systems indicate the severity of the pressure loss making it easier for drivers to know how to behave in a puncture situation.
Jörg Sturmhoebel is Product Manager within Wheel Safety at NIRA and he has a strong background in automotive engineering, working with Audi for many years, within mechanical engineering and project management. He has specialized in brakes and wheels and has since worked with engineering, marketing, and business development, where he has focused on the latest development in safety, also from a regulatory perspective.
At this, webinar, you will learn more about the three innovation areas that NIRA Dynamics have been pursuing within iTPMS.:
Critical Puncture Warning – Continues monitoring tire pressures after a deflation warning to detect 1-wheel critical punctures which require immediate action.
Percentage Display – Provides detailed insights into tire pressure levels, making it easier to maintain proper inflation.
Key Objectives:
- How has software based TPMS (iTPMS) caught up with hardware based solutions?
- How is next-generation iTPMS Improving fuel economy, reducing tire wear and increasing safety?
- How does software enhance the driver experience, minimizing tire-related concerns?
What are the competitive advantages for a car manufacturer to use indirect TPMS?
