Commercial vehicle tire pressure monitoring (Tire Pressure Monitoring System, TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the tire in real time through sensors installed in each tire. These sensors usually use wireless communication technology, such as radio frequency identification or Bluetooth, to send the collected air pressure data to a receiver or central controller in the vehicle.
The sensor continuously monitors the air pressure in the tire and records the data in the internal memory. When the vehicle is driving, the sensor sends the data to the receiver periodically or according to preset conditions (such as the air pressure change exceeds a certain threshold). After the receiver receives the data, it will perform preliminary processing and storage for subsequent analysis and display.
The tire pressure monitoring system sets a series of air pressure thresholds based on the vehicle model, tire specifications and manufacturer's recommendations. These thresholds include normal air pressure range, low pressure alarm threshold and high pressure alarm threshold. When the air pressure data detected by the sensor exceeds these thresholds, the system will consider the tire pressure abnormal and trigger the alarm mechanism.
Once abnormal tire pressure is detected, the tire pressure monitoring system will send an alarm signal to the driver in a variety of ways. These signals may include warning lights on the dashboard, sound prompts, or text prompts on the display. Warning lights usually flash or stay on to attract the driver's attention, while sound prompts and display prompts can provide more detailed information, such as which tire has abnormal pressure and the specific value of the abnormality.
In order to facilitate the driver to understand and respond to the alarm signal, the user interface design of commercial vehicle tire pressure monitoring is usually concise and clear. The warning lights on the dashboard will use eye-catching colors and icons so that the driver can quickly identify them during driving. At the same time, the text prompts on the display will also use clear and easy-to-understand language and provide necessary operating guidelines or suggestions.
When the driver receives an alarm signal of abnormal tire pressure, he should stop the car immediately to check the tire pressure. If the air pressure is indeed insufficient or too high, a tire pressure gauge should be used for accurate measurement and corresponding adjustments should be made based on the measurement results. If the alarm signal is still not eliminated after adjustment, it may be caused by sensor failure or low battery. At this time, the driver should contact a professional maintenance personnel for inspection and repair.
To ensure the normal operation and accuracy of commercial vehicle tire pressure monitoring, drivers should regularly maintain and service the system. This includes checking the cleanliness and installation position of the sensor, replacing the battery (for sensors that require battery power), calibrating the system, etc. In addition, drivers should also pay attention to the software updates of the system to obtain the latest functions and performance improvements in a timely manner.
Commercial vehicle tire pressure monitoring effectively warns of abnormal tire pressure by monitoring tire pressure in real time, setting thresholds to detect abnormalities, generating and transmitting alarm signals, and providing user-friendly interface design, providing drivers with timely and accurate information support.
