A radar that monitors the health of tires!
Researchers have invented a radar that is above the tires car is installed, they have provided the possibility of continuous and live monitoring of the health of the tires.
Indicators in cars are a useful tool in addition to speed and engine speed indicators. They remind us when we are running out of gas, when to change the oil, etc. But one thing that is felt lacking, Supervision on health the tires And more importantly, it is the flat tires and we still have to notice the consequences.
Now, researchers have tried to add this feature in cars and invent a radar to measure the health of tires in real time..
When tires wear out, especially in cold weather, they lose traction and flexibility. This is a factor safety Basic for pedestrians And Drivers is considered. It is true that New cars They have tire pressure sensors, but what about direct monitoring of tire wear and tear? The researchers asked themselves how they could make this happen, and succeeded in inventing a radar that, by doing so, would surely save money and save lives..
These researchers explain that: Direct monitoring of tire condition is done either manually or using full-resolution laser scans, but neither of these methods is a suitable solution for mounting on a car and monitoring the various and sometimes dangerous things that stick to tires over time..
The researchers after conducting tests with the tire company “Bridgestone”, decided to use radar technology for this. This radar device is installed on top of the tire and monitors its health continuously and live.
Millimeter wave radars are common in vehicles today and these radars are currently used to avoid Accident، cruise control and other features are used. Now researchers have used these radars to measure tire wear.
The technique used in this device, “Inverse Combined Aperture Radar” is. This technique of tire rotation It is used to enhance the resolution of radars and allows them to measure changes in millimeters.
We have used embedded metal additives that act as markers, the researchers say. These help the radar to reflect in low visibility environments, such as dirt or snowy roads.
Most importantly, this radar can also detect foreign objects such as nails stuck in tires..
