Abstract

Intelligent tires constitute one of the approaches that allow to increase the effectiveness of the active safety systems of vehicles. Several areas of improvement concern these systems, all of them focused on the information about tire-road states. This study introduces the use of cost-effective flex sensor technology in intelligent tires in order to estimate the tread rotational speed and the vertical load. This technology has been combined with a wireless data transmission and a suitable prototype has been realized. First experimental tests have been conducted and the obtained results show the goodness of the proposed solution.
