Tire Pressure Monitoring System – Working, Benefits and Cost
What is a Tire Pressure Monitoring System?
A tire pressure monitoring system or TPMS is an electronic system that monitors the air pressure inside the tyres and alerts the driver or the manager when the pressure drops or rises beyond the optimum level.
It’s the combination of a hardware sensor and a software unit. At least a set of three to four sensors is installed in a vehicle that captures the tyre pressure at all times and sends the data to the software. The software acts as the data processor that generates alerts and notifications every time the system records a rise or drop in pressure beyond the safe levels.
How Does a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Work?
As we mentioned earlier, tire pressure monitoring sensors are mounted on the tires to track the real-time air pressure inside the tires. There are two types of tyre pressure monitoring sensors:
Direct Sensors: The tyre pressure sensors meant for solely monitoring the tire pressure and sending the data to the software are called direct sensors.
Indirect Sensors: By indirect sensors we mean, the TPMS gathers the wheel speed data via ABS(Anti-lock Braking System) and detects any difference in the movement and performance to alert the manager about the possible tire pressure issue.
