A New Approach to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

Asha Mathai, Dr.P.Vanaja Ranjan

Improper tyre pressure is a safety issue that is usually ignored. But the fact is that a drop in tyre pressure can result in the reduction of mileage, tyre life, vehicle safety and performance. This paper is providing a new approach to tyre pressure monitoring system. The system will take continuous readings of the tyre pressure and temperature and decide if the pressure is within proper inflation. Current pressure in the tyre and under or over inflations will be displayed combined with LED lights for giving proper warning. The system works on wireless sensor network using zigbee and CAN communication protocol. The data received wirelessly through zigbee will be converted to CAN protocol format. Power consumption is reduced by designing a transmitter waking circuit. Also if the tyre pressure is reduced below a threshold limit a warning message will be send to the owner’s mobile phone using GSM system.
