New research make your tyres talk
The world of mobility is dynamic and in a constant state of change to improve, in particular, safety standards.
The Goodyear Tyre & Rubber Company and Dutch research organisation TNO are collaborating on a test to illustrate and test the implications and results when a vehicles tyres can communicate with its anti-lock braking (ABS) system. Goodyear believes this technology will reduce stopping distance by about 30 per cent. āThere is a tremendous opportunity when you consider the information the tyre can convey to the vehicle in a connected environment,ā said Chris Queen, Goodyear senior director, innovation technology. āTNO has a like-minded commitment to a better future, and we are excited to advance this demonstration to see how we can continue to improve vehicle performance.ā Source: Quickpic
