Abstract :
In this paper, we present a system simulator that can evaluate the performance of direct measurement Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) in various operational scenarios. We also discuss the following capabilities of the simulator: (1) modeling the wireless channel characteristics experienced by the signal between various transmitters and the receiver of a given vehicle, (2) modeling collisions among wireless signals of a given vehicle and those of the nearby vehicles, and (3) quantifying the impact of wireless channel characteristics and collisions among wireless signals on the performance of the TPMS. Using results for hypothetical simulation scenarios, we demonstrate the impact of wireless channel characteristics, receiver sensitivity level, and inter-vehicular interference on the performance of the TPMS.
