VibroSense for Tire Monitoring is an innovative ultra-low-power chip designed to address the gap in current vehicle safety by providing real-time monitoring of tire-road friction. Integrated with standard TPMS systems, this chip enhances ADAS systems by making dynamic road condition feedback possible without relying on indirect and inaccurate friction estimations. By processing data at the sensor level, VibroSense reduces wireless communication overhead, allowing for efficient use of standard battery power or energy harvesting solutions.
This chip acts as the missing component in comprehensive vehicle safety, greatly improving the in-tire detection of friction changes, which is critical for maintaining vehicle stability and safety. The precise monitoring of peak friction coefficients allows vehicles equipped with ADAS to respond quicker to road surface changes, contributing to shorter stopping distances and better overall handling.
Beyond traditional tire pressure monitoring, VibroSense offers additional functionalities such as tire tread wear analysis and wheel imbalance and loose nut detection. These capabilities make it a vital component in next-generation smart tire solutions, offering vehicle manufacturers a strong competitive advantage in safety and reliability innovations.
