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.

    The future is now. Advances in sensor and information technologies provide unprecedented opportunities to better manage truck and tyre compliance. Here at ITS America Detroit, International Road Dynamics (IRD) is demonstrating its new TACS (tyre anomaly and classification system), Vehicle Information in Motion (VI2M) software, and Virtual Weigh Station Software. TACS screens commercial vehicles at weigh station facilities to identify those that are unsafe due to missing or under-inflated tires. The system

    July 27, 2012
    District 7 of Caltrans has been conducting trials to see whether the use of a single inductive loop to measure vehicle lengths and so identify heavy trucks is feasible. So far, the results have been very promising, according to Lead Transportation Engineer Steve Malkson. Between them, the adjoining ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the US's two biggest, cover some 10,700 acres (43km2) and 68 miles (109km) of waterfront.

    December 4, 2012
    Jason Barnes considers the social and ethical ramifications of using in-vehicle safety technologies to fulfil enforcement functions. Although policy documents often imply close correlation between enforcement, compliance and safety – in part, as a counter to accusations that enforcement is rather more concerned with revenue generation – there is a noticeable reluctance among policy makers and auto manufacturers to exploit in-vehicle safety systems for enforcement applications. From a technical perspective t

    Accidental or malicious issue of false messages to connected vehicles could result in dire consequences, so secure systems of authentication and certification are likely to be necessary, write Paul Avery and Sandra Dykes. Connectivity among vehicles in urban traffic systems will provide opportunity for beneficial impacts such as congestion reduction and greater safety. However, it also creates security risks with the potential for targeted disruption. Security algorithms, protocols and procedures must take
