A sophisticated mechanism designed to continuously track the pneumatic status within heavy vehicle wheels. It provides real-time data regarding inflation levels, alerting operators to deviations from optimal settings. As an example, a sensor located inside the wheel transmits pressure readings to a central processing unit within the vehicle’s cabin.
The implementation of such technology offers significant advantages. Primarily, maintaining proper inflation enhances safety by minimizing the risk of blowouts and improving handling characteristics. Furthermore, optimized pressure reduces rolling resistance, leading to improved fuel efficiency and decreased tire wear, thereby extending service life and lowering operational costs. Historically, manual checks were the standard, a process prone to human error and often infrequent.
