Sophisticated electronics are playing a big role in current automotive research. One of the latest applications is the “intelligent” wheel computerized systems that continually monitor the air pressure of automobile tires and alert drivers if their tires are over- or underinflated. Neotech Industries of Dallas is developing a digital electronic monitoring system. Another firm, techni Guidance Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif., has devised a product that not only monitors air pressure in tires but adjusts it automatically.

 

The system, called entireControl, also enables a driver to set tire pressure while seated. Techni Guidance claims entireControl, which is still being tested, will enhance the safety and fuel efficiency of a car. EntireControl consists of three separate modules. The first is the dashboard display, which houses the system’s main microprocessor, programming buttons and warning signals. It contains a tire-pressure display, which provides psi (pounds per square inch) readings for the front and back tires (in pairs); tire-positions indicators that light up when a tire is losing pressure; selectors that establish optimum tire pressure for city and highway driving; and buttons for setting specific tire pressure (within pre-programmed limits).

 

The second component is the detector/drive module – which is essentially four microchips attached, in one unit, to the chassis. Each chip “faces” a tire and detects pressure changes that may occur. When they do, transistors within the module signal the third component – a programmable actuator transducer (PAT), which is attached to each wheel and inflates or deflates the tire. It includes half-inch-thick tubes containing compressed carbon dioxide that surround the inside of the wheel and connect to a mixing valve. If there is a hole in the tire and it cannot be inflated, the system will alert the driver.
