Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Abstract:
The
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, which is used today, indicates only whether
the air pressure in any of the tyres is below a particular level of safety.
This avoidable signal has made it possible for the statistical death rate to
come up to 650 deaths per year. This project displays values through continuous
monitoring. Therefore, this research proposed a method to accumulate the
various factors of the tyre and to display them to the driver for a safer
experience. The proposed TPMS has an electronic device unit that is attached to
the tyre and transmits the values of the pressure, temperature, and the wheel
alignment to the unit to be placed inside the vehicle, observable to the
driver. This unit includes pressure sensors, microcontrollers, RF transmission,
and batteries. An alert is introduced that indicates if the pressure exceeds
the maximum or minimum safe pressure level. Several experiments have been
carried out to analyze the proposed system. The integrated TPMS has proven to
be an effective alternative to maintaining the tyres and aims to improve the comfort
and safety of the driver.
1. Introduction:
According
to research, there is an increase in the number of accidents that take place
due to the carelessness associated towards the low air pressure in tyres. In
India alone, 35-40% of accidents that have taken place occur due to tyre bursts
in the past 5 Years. Tyre blowouts are one of the most common reasons for
accidents that take place. T. Xiangjunet al. [1]1 proposed that the event of a
sudden flat tire accounted for 49.81% of highway accidents, in 2006. N. N.
Hasan and A. Arif [2] proposed that the current tyre pressure sensors indicate
a symbol in the dashboard of the car that people usually tend to ignore.
Currently, there are two basic methods to measure tire pressure: direct and
indirect. The direct technique is implemented, but with the use of a
differential pressure sensor. This project will ensure that the driver will
have the exact air pressures of all the tyres of the car displayed
continuously. It also deals with the wear and tear of the tyre. One more aspect
of the project is the temperature and wheel alignment of the car. When the car
is driven in the most moderate conditions, there is greater longevity of the
tyres while simultaneously providing a smoother and safer drive. In the
currently used products, they aren't available for the wear and tear of tyres.
However, through more research and technological interventions, we're looking
forward to this product's display.
•
Tyre pressure is measured and displayed constantly.
•The
wheel alignment will help in parking and keeping the tyres in an optimum
condition during parking.
•
The temperature sensor that indicates the wear and tear of the tyre, along with
the frictional changes applied to it.
2. Problem Identification:
The lack of proper tire pressure
monitoring in vehicles can lead to several safety and performance issues, such
as tire blowouts, loss of vehicle control, uneven tire wear, reduced fuel efficiency,
and increased stopping distances. These problems arise from underinflated or
overinflated tires, which can cause premature tire damage, higher maintenance
costs, and greater risk of accidents. Without an effective system like TPMS,
drivers may not be alerted to critical tire pressure changes, compromising
vehicle safety, performance, and efficiency.
3. System Overview:
In our project of TPMS, we have effectively managed to construct a system which will effectively and accurately help us to read and determine the values of the tire pressure and the tire temperature at any time, as and when we require. This has been done using Arduino UNO along with nRFL01 transmitter receiver module, and BMP180 pressure sensor and our temperature sensor. Fig. 1 shows the flow diagram of the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
