Pathway to Autonomous Commercial Vehicles

TRUCTYRE FLEET MANAGEMENT LTD
Abstract
This project will develop a cloud based software model for its tyre data monitoring system on commercial
vehicles, trailers and PSV's that will offer accurate predictions of tyre and mechanical issues by using real time
data from the installed hardware. Tyre data from each vehicle will be linked with satellite communications and
intelligent decision making to provide drivers, fleet managers, and tyre service providers with a real time
system to prevent unnecessary downtime, such as roadside breakdowns and improve efficiencies in vehicle and
tyre management. Tyres have a significant impact on vehicle safety, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Damaged tyres can cost fleet operators tens of thousands of pounds in repair costs, wasted fuel and fines from
late deliveries. In response to this, Tructyre, a Hampshire based SME, has gathered together a strong
consortium of companies and academic partners to develop predictive software with an automated data
exchange capability between vehicle, fleet operator and tyre service provider.
