Real-Time Wireless Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for Enhanced Vehicle Safety

Abstract

The Automatic tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an advanced safety and efficiency-enhancing system designed to continuously monitor the air pressure in vehicle tyres. It utilizes pressure sensors installed within the tyres to detect pressure variations and transmits real-time data wirelessly to a dashboard display or a mobile application. Upon detecting deviations from the optimal pressure range, the system promptly alerts the driver, enabling timely corrective action. By ensuring proper tyre inflation, TPMS enhances road safety, fuel efficiency, and tyre longevity, reducing the risks associated with underinflated or over-inflated tyres, such as blowouts and increased wear. The system operates using direct or indirect monitoring methods—direct TPMS employs dedicated pressure sensors, while indirect TPMS utilizes wheel speed data from the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to estimate pressure changes. The implementation of TPMS contributes to enhanced vehicle performance, reduced maintenance costs, and lower environmental impact by optimizing fuel consumption and minimizing carbon emissions. This system is an essential feature in modern automobiles, promoting safer and more efficient driving conditions.
