Continental pilots real-time tread depth monitoring Tire Technology International
Continental has successfully demonstrated real-time tire tread depth monitoring in a pilot using vehicles from carsharing provider Share Now Denmark. The company merged feeds from tire sensors and telemetry data from Share Nows fleet of cars with a proprietary algorithm in the cloud, allowing it to predict tire tread depth in real time with an accuracy of 1mm. This technology is expected to enable need-based servicing of tires instead of regular, scheduled servicing. Fleet providers like Share Now can benefit from accurate tire condition information for improved efficiency. Continental is also delivering real-time remote tire pressure and temperature monitoring for the Share Now fleet. The pilot project sets an industry benchmark in smart digital tire solutions.
