The VibroSense AI chip designed for tire monitoring offers an innovative approach to enhancing vehicle safety through real-time analysis of tire-road interactions. This ultra-low power neuromorphic chip seamlessly integrates with traditional Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), enabling the detection of tire-road frictional variations and delivering critical alerts to Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Through its ability to detect changes in the peak friction coefficient (PFC) in real time, VibroSense optimizes vehicle safety significantly. This capability is crucial for achieving instant responsiveness in critical conditions, a feat accomplished by minimizing the wireless communication required with the vehicle. As a result, it preserves battery life and supports designs based on standard or energy-harvesting batteries, making smart tire implementations more feasible and effective.
The chip enhances vehicular safety by detecting tire-road friction locally, offering a power-efficient, straightforward integration method into existing TPMS setups. Its advanced detection capabilities augment traditional systems, providing more accurate and timely road condition information to enhance the safety and stability of autonomous and driver-assisted vehicles.
