A Review of Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System for Vehicles

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is used for safe drive on super highways to avoid fault in the tires. The system can automatically detect the tire pressure, temperature and send out warning sound in real-time before the accident actually happens, reminding drivers to take measures to prevent tire puncture. This paper reviews the influence of tire pressure and temperature, also describes the importance of TPMS on traffic safety and environmental protection, and discusses different designs for vehicle tire pressure monitoring system with and without sensors. It also suggests the use of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to improve the functionality of TPMS.
