- Sensata’s new tire Tread Depth Monitoring (TDM) solution,
powered by NIRA Dynamics’ tread wear estimation software, provides
vehicle OEMs, drivers and fleets with timely alerts when tires have
worn to unsafe levels and need servicing.
- The software-based TDM system can be integrated into existing
Electronic Control Units (ECU), allowing vehicle manufacturers to
quickly implement the solution across platforms without the need
for custom software development.
Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST), today announced a new
collaboration with NIRA Dynamics AB to deliver an accurate and
robust tire Tread Depth Monitoring (TDM) ‘virtual sensor’
system for automotive OEMs that optimizes tire health and
improves vehicle safety, efficiency and uptime. The TDM solution,
powered by NIRA Dynamics’ tread wear estimation software, is
designed to give vehicle OEMs, drivers and fleets timely alerts
when tires have worn to unsafe levels and need servicing.

Combining Sensata Technologies’ expertise in automotive sensors
with NIRA Dynamics’ proficiency in developing embedded software and
cloud services, the TDM solution adds new safety and maintenance
capabilities to Sensata’s existing market-leading tire safety
products.
The virtual sensor system is a new, innovative technology that
gathers and combines data from multiple existing sensors on a
vehicle, including Sensata’s tire pressure sensors, to provide
accurate information about tire wear and tear.
This software-based system uses a complex algorithm that
monitors the tire tread’s decreasing depth, while compensating for
a wide range of real-world environmental challenges. The system
tracks tires through changes and rotations and provides a more
comprehensive solution than just measuring the distance
travelled.
The virtual TDM can be integrated into existing Electronic
Control Units (ECU) and is designed to work with many combinations
of tire and vehicle designs. Vehicle manufacturers can quickly
introduce and implement the solution across vehicle platforms
without the need for custom software development.
Eric Sorret, Vice President of Automotive at Sensata
technologies said, “We’re excited to collaborate with NIRA Dynamics
on new technology for the automotive industry. Sensata has
developed tire technologies for more than 20 years, and we believe
that this new virtual sensor builds on this experience and takes it
to the next level. Using and analyzing data already being captured
by other sensors, this solution provides accurate and useful
information to our customers.”
Lisa Åbom, CEO at NIRA Dynamics, shared, “The cooperation
between NIRA and Sensata is a perfect match. By combining our
decades of experience in vehicle data cloud services with Sensata’s
Tire Pressure Monitoring System, infrastructure, and extensive
customer base, we can offer vehicle manufacturers additional
insights and information for customers without the need to fit
additional hardware on the vehicle. This solution will improve
safety, creating more driver awareness about the quality of their
tires to decrease the number of tire-related accidents.”
