Why We Need Tire Pressure Monitoring System and What Kind of Tire Pressure Monitoring System We Need?

At present, almost each passager cars and commercial vechiles are installed tire pressure monitoring tpms systme. This reduces the rate of accident. Prolong the lifespan of tires and reduce the exhaust emisson. And drivers are more suitable and confident in driving. That's why we need tire pressure monitoring system.

1. Preventing accidents.

   US NHTSA indicates that tire pressure 25% below the standard value increase the risk of a blowout by three times; The pressure 25% above the standard value increase the risk by one time. Accurate tire pressure monitoring system can adert drivers to abnormal tire pressure conditions in a timely manner and reducing the rate of tire blowout accidents.

2. Warn of tire leaks. Slow leaks are the main cause of tire blowouts. when the tire pressure drops below 60% of the standard, it can be noticeable by the naked eyes.
3. Extend tire lifespan. The tires can work at the most fitable pressure and temperature. When the pressure is 10% lower than the standard, the tire lifespan will shorten 15%.
4. Save fuel. When the tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, thus increasing frictional resistance. When the tire pressure is 30% lower than the standard pressure, fuel consumption will increase by 10%.
5. Reduce wear and tear on the suspension system. If the tire pressure is too high, it will reduce the tire's shock absorption effect, thus increasing the burden on the vehicle's suspension system. Long-term use will cause significant damage to the engine, chassis, and suspension system. Uneven tire pressure can also easily cause braking deviations and increase wear and tear on the suspension system.
6. Optimize vehicle performance.Une imbalance in tire pressure can cause a car to veer off course; maintaining balanced tire pressure improves handling, provides a more comfortable ride, enhances vehicle stability, effectively improves overall vehicle performance, and improves braking performance. A ​​tire pressure monitoring system helps maintain standard tire pressure, making travel safer and more comfortable. Tire pressure monitoring is an essential automotive feature.
7. Reduce environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions.
8. To maintain normal braking performance, reduce the occurrence of safety accidents, and create a safe and accident-free environment for road transportation.

TPMS( Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has significant meaning for us and our daily life. It sometimes can also save our lifes. Do you know the kinds of tpms?

There are indrect TPMS and direct TPMS for different types of TPMS.

An indirect tpms will use technology that same as Anti-lock brake system. The sensors is installed on the valves. And do not measure the acutual tire pressure of each tire. Instead, the sensor measure the speed at which each wheel is turning and used by an onboard computer to compare that speed with the rest of the wheels and the rate of the car should be traveling at. If a wheel is spinning faster than the rest, the onboard computer determines that tire is under-inflated and alerts the driver.

A Direct TPMS uses pressure monitoring sensors within each tire. It monitors specific pressure inside the tire-not just wheel revolution data from the anti-lock brake system. Sensors in a direct TPMS also provide tire temperature readings. The direct tpms system sends all data to a centralized control module. When tire pressure is lower than it should be, it transmitted directly to your dashbaord where the indicator light illuminiates. Cars equipped with direct tpms can view the air pressure of each tire in real time from dashboard or central console screen. And all this data is sent wirelessly. Each sensor has a unique serial number to disingtguished itself and system on other vehicles.
