Yokohama Rubber Develops Next-generation Precision Tire Behavior Monitoring System.Tokyo, Japan, Oct 21, 2005 - (JCNN JCNN Japan Corporate News Network ) - Yokohama Rubber has developed a next-generation tire monitoring system that uses a sensor mounted directly on a tire wheel to not only check the air pressure but also observe the tire behavior and road surface conditions. The G sensor has three embedded sensors: a pressure sensor A pressure sensor measures the pressure, typically of gases or fluids. Pressure is an expression of the force required to stop a gas or fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor generates a signal related to the pressure imposed. , a temperature sensor and a three-axis acceleration sensor, which has a greater capability than the conventional electric stability program (ESP (1) (Enhanced Service Provider) An organization that adds value to basic telephone service by offering such features as call-forwarding, call-detailing and protocol conversion. ) system to detect minute changes in the tire's three movement directions: rotational, centrifugal and vertical directions. The G sensor provides high sensitivity in identifying vehicle behavior, tire performance and road status, so it can detect vehicle sliding in a faster, more precise manner than the conventional ESP systems.
