Michelin tyres to communicate at the Olympics

摘要

French tyre maker Michelin will unveil its communicating tyre during the 30th Olympic Games in London. By combining a tyre pressure monitoring system and radio frequency identification chips, the tyre maker is enabling public transport operators in London to enhance the safety of tyres fitted on buses, thereby improving the mobility of both vehicles and transport users. When used with the RFID chips now integrated in Michelin X InCity tyres, the TPMS sensors not only make it possible to obtain tyre pressure and temperature data easily but also to ensure traceability that streamlines and secures monitoring as long as the tyre is used on the vehicle.
