    The TyrePal range of tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) has a device for all types of vehicle, from cars and vans to commercial vehicles, caravans, trailers and motor homes. Sensors simply screw on to the tyre valves in place of the normal dust caps and they have an integral anti-theft design. For cars and vans, the TB99 is a small dashboard mounted monitor that continuously displays the pressure of four tyres simultaneously and can be set up to monitor the spare tyre as well, while the TC215B system

    Engineers in the Ford Research and Innovation labs are developing ways to help the driver stay focused in busy situations by intelligently managing incoming communications. Data from the sensing systems of driver-assist technologies can be used to determine the amount of external demand and workload upon a driver at any given time including traffic and road conditions. In addition, Ford continues its health and wellness research with the development of a biometric seat, seat belt and steering wheel that can

    Goodyear is developing Air Maintenance Technology (AMT) that will enable tyres to remain inflated at the optimum pressure without the need for any external pumps or electronics. All components of the AMT system, including the miniaturised pump, will be fully contained within the tyre. “While the technology is complex, the idea behind the AMT system is relatively simple and powered by the tyre itself as it rolls down the road,” said Jean-Claude Kihn, Goodyear Senior VP and CTO, adding, “A tyre that can maint
