If
you are a car or bike enthusiast you will know how important it is to maintain
the optimal tyre pressure and temperature to maximise traction.Sensairy eyes
and ears so to say are a temperature and pressure sensor packed to gether.The
rest of the device focuses on gathering data and comparing it to set thresholds
programmed into the firmware to make the decision as to whether there is a
problem that the user should know about.
The
device uses a coin cell battery and works on a 2.4ghz frequency which enables a
longer coverage for the device while measuring up to 150psi at almost 10000rpm.
Under
normal conditions it collects data and trasfer it to the smartphone running
sensairy app where the user can go through the infrmation presented on
it.However if there is a situation involving say a heated up tyre or a puncture
the device sends out notifications to the driver so that she or he can do what
is necessary.
The
best part is that what is nessary the device gathere a lot of data for example
lets say there is avery small puncture on a car tyre.Users would be able to see
the tyre pressre variated over a period of a few days but the app collects data
and can alert vehical owners to these minor punctures that are not obvious are
to them explains surendrs the product also lets you track multiple vehicles
simultaneously.
Essentially
what they have done here is data visualisition and analytics on tyre and
pressure data it is somewhere similar to what the billion dollar company
jawbore has famously done with their up series of bands.
Another
element that will be inclded in future models is shock detection an
accelerometer that senses shocks caused due to bumps and road problems will
help users better estimated and even alongate the life of the tyre by making
sure they are taking care by keeping the tyre properly inflated.It will also
help them properly maintain the tyre pressure during dry and rainy mounths when
it is recommended to slightly decrese or increses the pressure to maximise
performance.
The
accelerometer can also help users judge the performance of the suspension
setup.If they have spent a bomb on getting koni bilstein or tien shocks for
their cars they can use this app to follow up on the installation to track how
shock data changes for the car while rnning on the same strip before and after
suspension upgrade.
What
he is more excited about is the potential to use the data flowing in form a
large number of sensairy enabled vechicles to judge the road conditions of
diffrent type.This idea has the potential to change the way we think about
judging rad quality in cities.
