Bridgestone: ‘Tire strain measurement’
Bridgestone has developed a technology for measuring tire strain and estimating tire load and wear using a sensor attached to the inner surface of the tire.
By “measuring ‘strain’ generated when the tire comes into contact with the road surface during running”, the load and wear state of the tire are estimated.
New development: Smart Strain Sensor
This time, the Smart Strain Sensor was born from the latest IoT technology.
Conventional technology: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Many vehicles around the world are equipped with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors.
TPMS sensors mainly measure tire pressure and temperature.
New technology: Smart Strain Sensor
The Smart Strain Sensor measures tire strain independent of speed.
Measure the strain where the tire is in contact with the road.
Converts data into load and wear information using a unique algorithm and collects it
Greatly improved power life.
Development this time: Sensor
Along with information such as tire pressure,
You can know the state of wear and load,
Vehicle managers can also perform real-time monitoring remotely.
