Design and Fabrication of Autonomous Tire Pressure Self Inflating with Ardunio Monitoring System

Abstract

Tire plays crucial role in ensuring safe driving and it is the most essential part of automobile. The pressure in the tire has to be maintained in such a way that it can withstand the weight of the vehicle as well as the passengers. Despite of crucial requirement of desired pressure in the vehicle tire, even then, almost every automobile on the road run with either one or more under inflated tires. It has been observed from the result of the detailed survey that the drop in tire pressure by just few psi leads to the reduction in gas mileage, tire life, safe driving and vehicle performance etc and unawareness of exact pressure requirement, sudden environmental changes are also some of causes for tire running with improper pressure. These are some of the obvious reason why we require automation of air pressure system in tyre and automatic tire pressure controlling and self-inflating system ensures correct pressure in the tire all the time. This system is named automatic because it checks the tire pressure constantly using pressure sensor and accordingly gives alert signals to the driver. The purpose of this project is to achieve proper fuel efficiency, overall vehicle handling and maneuverability, tire longevity, reduce accident, attaining better mileage by having an self inflating vehicle system by providing an Arduino system so that one can monitor changes in pressure in tire and control it as well in a manner such that the driver can observe it on monitor and control the pressure.
