Tyre manufacturer Continental has launched ContiConnect, a tyre information and management system for commercial fleets. ContiConnect monitors, analyses and reports tyre pressure and temperature for the entire fleet based on data collected by the proven ContiPressureCheck sensors.

ContiConnect notifies the fleet manager and offers corrective measures if needed, for example through a Conti360 service partner. An online portal provides transparent reports on the fleet’s tyre performance and overall efficiency.

ContiConnect works with both retrofitted and factory-fitted ContiPressureCheck sensors and can work in multiple set-ups to connect all tyres in a fleet, both vehicles that are on the road, as well as to those returning to base. The system can collect data from a stationary receiver in a depot, or from a receiver unit in every vehicle on the road in real-time and sends an alert in the event of a service requirement.

The ContiPressureCheck system, which provides input to ContiConnect, is compatible with a wide variety of fleet management systems on the market, including solutions which come from different original equipment as well as aftermarket manufacturers.

    Sony’s Stephane Clauss looks at the imaging requirements in tunnels. In the event of a fire inside a tunnel, the dispersion of gases and heat is prevented, creating extreme temperatures that have led to many deaths. Following tragic incidents including Mont Blanc, European legislation requires longer tunnels to be fitted with incident and smoke detection systems.

    Options abound for road weather sensing
    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.
