The TMPS uses Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology and works by sending an acoustic wave through a tyre, monitoring pressure and temperature many times a second. The acoustic wave can detect deviations from the manufacturer’s recommendations and notify the driver when a problem arises. It has been estimated that fitting the SAW system to a vehicle can improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency by ten per cent.
According to Transense, Honeywell is using the SAW technology to develop a new pressure and temperature sensor for use by Michelin .
Michelin to Extend Use of TMPS
Oxfordshire-based Transense Technologies PLC has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Honeywell International Inc. to extend the use of Transense’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TMPS).
