A tire-pressure monitoring system ( TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).
Wheel alignment of a Ford Focus. Wheel alignment, which is sometimes referred to as breaking or tracking, is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of wheels to the car manufacturer specifications. [1] The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and ...
The AGT 30, can carry 30 passenger per coach and has two passenger sections with safety features. It also has a communication and automated fare collection system. The prototype has two coaches with full airconditioning and has a suspension system, solid tires for guide wheels and extra wide automatic sliding doors.
The University of the Philippines Diliman AGT [1] was an automated guideway transit (AGT) system constructed for technology demonstration within the campus of the University of the Philippines (UP) in Diliman, Quezon City in the Philippines. It served as a test track for the first mass transit system to be built and developed in the country by ...
Direct TPMS, or direct tire pressure monitoring systems (direct sensor TPMS) refers to the use of a pressure sensor directly mounted on the wheels or tires of a vehicle. The pressure inside the tire is measured using a pressure transducer with the pressure information being subsequently sent to the vehicle to warn the driver of under or over inflation of a tire.
The DOT code [1] is an alphanumeric character sequence molded into the sidewall of the tire and allows the identification of the tire and its age. The code is mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation [2] but is used worldwide. [3] The DOT code is also useful in identifying tires subject to product recall [4] or at end of life due to age.
The system is forecast to approach the coast of the southeast United States on Thursday or Friday. Formation chance through 48 hours: low, 10 percent. Formation chance through 7 days: low, 30 percent.
Central tire inflation system. The Tatra T813 prototype had CTIS as early as 1960; it later became standard for all Tatra military trucks. A central tire inflation system ( CTIS) is a system to provide control over the air pressure in each of a vehicle's tires as a way to improve performance on different surfaces.
