1. INTRODUCTION
The mode of transport is one of the most important criteria these days. Vehicle safety is essential. Accidents are also increasing at a rapid rate. There are several factors that cause these accidents. Inadequate inflation of tires is one of them. Tires lose air through normal conduction (especially after hitting bollards or curbs), permeation, and seasonal changes in temperature. When the tires are inflated, the tread wears out more quickly. Under inflated tires are rapidly damaged due to overheating compared to properly inflated tires. Low inflation also causes a small depreciation in mileage as well. Above all, vehicles that run on inflated tires can cause accidents.
Therefore, to rectify all these defects we are using self inflated systems. Pressure control systems in such systems help to monitor tire pressure constantly. The system containing sensors feeds the information to a display panel that the driver can manually operate. The electronic unit controls all information. The air source is taken from the vehicle air braking system or pneumatic systems. Therefore, it aids in the re-inflation of the tires to the appropriate pressure conditions.
2. How tires work
If you are in the market for new tires, all the variables in the tire specifications and confusing jargon you can hear from tire sellers or "experts" could make your purchase quite stressful. Or maybe you just want to fully understand the tires you already have, the concepts at work, the importance of all those sidewall marks. What does all this mean in regular terms?
In this article, we'll explore how tires are built and see what's in a tire. Let's find out what all the numbers and marks on a tire's flank mean, and we'll figure out some of that tire slang. At the end of this article, you will understand how a tire supports your car, and you will know why the heat can build up on your tires, especially if the pressure is low. You can also adjust your tire pressure correctly and diagnose some common tire problems!
