Real-time analysis of the effective tire characteristics by using smart tires

Over the past few years, vehicle safety technology has evolved drastically. Tires are one of the core components of the vehicle that determine performance and play a major role in its safety. They carry the vehicle load and are the only contact with the road surface. As a result, tires contain useful information about tire temperature and pressure, wheel load, tire wear, and changing road conditions. Smart tires have the potential to be widely used to enhance the safety of road transportation systems by providing effective parameters on the performance and safety of tires. On the other hand, the rise of global security and the emergence of concepts such as the Internet of Things (IoT) have driven tire industries to produce smart tires. In this paper, the design and manufacturing processes of the smart tire in Barez Industrial Group is explained. This new tire measures pressure, temperature, and mileage of the tire constantly. The Barez smart tire has three main components including the sensor package installed inside the tire, the control unit placed inside the vehicle cabin, and a smartphone application, which is the communication route between the tire and the driver.
