Stuttgart, Germany – Hardly anyone thinks about them, but they are essential for driving safety - tires. Loss of tire pressure or loose wheels can lead to breakdowns and lead to potentially dangerous situations. Systems that detect tire condition and warn the driver in time can help prevent such incidents. Currently, the market offers various technologies that can monitor tire conditions. This can be done either directly through additional sensors installed in the tires or software-based by analyzing vehicle behavior. Bosch is now expanding its range of software solutions for data-based tire health and will offer them as part of its data-based service, within the Bosch Vehicle Motion Management ecosystem – a software system solution for the entire scope of vehicle motion. For this purpose, Bosch is also working with partners. In the area of indirect systems that do not require additional sensors in the tires, Bosch is expanding its long-standing business relationship with the automotive supplier NIRA Dynamics, with focus on gradual pressure loss and loose wheel detection, leveraging the expertise of both companies to ensure precise and cost-effective solutions.
