Lead to Safety: Smart tires make work safer and more efficient
Tires are an important safety feature on a vehicle. Their contact area may only be the size of four palms, but they determine whether the vehicle will stay on the road and stop if needed. Tires become especially important under demanding and rapidly changing conditions: on snow and ice, wet surfaces, and in case of unforeseen circumstances. This is part of Nokian Tyres’ special expertise.
Smart tires are the future
Smart tires make work safer and more efficient by using sensors attached to the tire's inner surface that collect real-time data. Using a Bluetooth connection the data can be sent to the user for them to take action in case of sudden changes of pressure or temperature. Smart tires can make work safer as well as more efficient and economical.
In the future, smart features in tires will increase further, and smart systems will also be available for passenger cars. They help the driver to operate safely under changing conditions: for example, the information relayed by the tires can allow the car to alert the driver on the risk of aquaplaning. Smart features will become even more important if self-driving vehicles appear on the roads in the future. Tires that are able to report on their defects or communicate to the vehicle that they can be used are a key factor in terms of traffic safety.
