The VibroSense AI Chip for Tire Monitoring is an innovative, ultra-low-power neuromorphic front-end chip that enhances vehicle safety by offering real-time tire-road friction monitoring. Integrated into smart tire systems, this chip detects changes in road surface conditions and communicates these to the vehicle's Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Road surface awareness is a critical missing element in most vehicle safety systems today. By providing accurate tire-road friction data, the VibroSense chip allows for immediate transmission of alerts to ADAS, significantly improving driving safety by reducing vehicle response time during friction changes. This advanced capability avoids the inaccuracies and delays of traditional indirect friction estimation methods.
The chip's design focuses on energy efficiency, supporting extended operation with standard batteries or energy harvesting techniques, fitting easily within existing Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). The solution has been rigorously tested across diverse tires, vehicles, and road types, proving its ability to deliver high-precision monitoring within tire systems at a minimal cost.
