The Design and Implementation of Cloud Web Service-based TPMS for Fleet Management

摘要

Identifying tyre pressure or temperature deviations is vital to ensuring the safety and longevity of a fleet’s tyres. The benefits of installing the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) are available both at the new product development process of vehicle factory as well as the product upgrading for aftermarket solution. In this paper, we have proposed a system that offers our users real-time information about the state of their fleet vehicle tyres, including pressure, temperature, overall wear and these records for subsequent analysis. Unlike other TPMS solutions that only locally report real-time tire data such as pressure and temperature information to the driver of the vehicle, whenever any problems in the tyres such as pressure & temperature outside pre-configured limits, our proposed system sends data back to a cloud server for processing and analysis. With an unlimited number of users and 24/7 access, this HTTP web-based software gives back office management unmatched visibility through some RESTful APIs by using desktop or mobile application. The target of proposed system is allowing fleet managers to further improve fleet management requirements, optimal fuel consumption and reduced breakdowns. This system is suitable for all kinds of vehicle fleet including trailers, bus, trucks and any other Heavy-duty vehicles.
