How does it work?

The PNEUGRAPH sensorless Tire Pressure Measurement System is an innovative design that analyzes the contact patch pressure map of tires when the vehicle drives over a sensing plate. The sensing plate contains specially designed sensors that record the dynamic ground pressures. AI-based software generates an instantaneous tire pressure diagnosis, but can also detect worn tires and analyse the load distribution.

 

The system can be connected to the internet so that you have all the information at your finger tip: tire pressure history, automatic alerts, statistics, reports and more.

Why choose PNEUGRAPH?

The PNEUGRAPH tire pressure monitor is designed for fleets of trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles. It offers an efficient solution for monitoring your fleet's tire pressure, without the costs or hassles of traditional on-vehicle TPMS systems. No need to remove hundreds of tires to install sensors, reprogram them after each tire change, or replace them due to battery life!

 

Ease of installation and use

• No sensors to install on vehicles; analysis is performed by mapping the tire ground pressure
• Easy installation of the sensing plate on the ground – no construction work required.
• Low profile (~10 mm).
• Tire positions detected automatically – no programming necessary.
• Automatic vehicle identification (RFID or LPR)
• Internet connectivity - ideal for fleet management

 

Your benefits:

• Highly economical solution
• Increased tire lifespan and reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced waste and CO2 emissions
• Safety and preventive detection of tire anomalies

Modular design

Every fleet configuration is different. The modular design of the system will adapt to your specific needs.

 The base configuration consists of:

• Two sensing plates
• One reader
• One integrated interactive display

 

We offer a range of optional modules and features, such as:

• Connectivity module
• External display panels
• Tire load and wear modules
• Vehicle identification module

Components and modules

THE SENSING PLATE

This marvel of technology contains complex electronics embedded in a robust design. Our patent-pending sensor technology determines the ground pressure map of the tires while the vehicle drives over it.

Thousends of specially designed and densely packed sensors with high-speed sampling rates ensure the precision of the ground pressure image and allow for a comfortable driving speed.

 

The plate is very low-profile (< 10 mm) and resistant to heavy truck traffic. Its dimensions are adjustable and adaptable to your driveway.

 

The sensing plate is protected by a steel cover plate. If necessary, only the mechanical protection needs to be replaced, a quick and inexpensive operation.

 

THE READER

Based on a powerful industrial computer, the reader captures the data, analyzes it using advanced AI algorithms, and generates an instant tire pressure diagnosis. This diagnosis is then displayed on an interactive LCD screen.

 

CONNECTIVITY MODULE

This module connects your system to the internet through wired or cellular connection. You will have access to all the information collected by the system via your web user interface. You can configure email and SMS alerts, generate automatic reports, access the history, and much more.

This module includes an identification module in order to assign the data to the correct vehicules. Depending on your fleet conditions, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or LPR (License Plate Recognition) may be suitable.

EXTERNAL DISPLAYS

We offer a range of matrix displays and custom traffic light-style displays, allowing for immediate driver warnings.

 

LOAD AND TIRE WEAR MODULES

PNEUGRAPH  can also detect worn tires, as well as analyze axle load distribution.

Installation

PNEUGRAPH is designed for fleets of commercial vehicles that return regularly to a depot. Buses, waste trucks, or delivery fleets are typical examples.

The sensor plates may be installed at entry or exit points of a depot, but also as a tool in the workshop. Several plates and readers can be grouped together in the same user interface.

The sensing plate should be installed on firm, flat ground. A few screws are all that is needed for installation. The sensing plate is connected to the reader with an Ethernet cable, which can be buried or laid on the ground with cable protectors.
Depending on the quality of the ground underneath the sensing plate, partial surface leveling with Urethane or Epoxy may be necessary. Our team at PNEUGRAPH can perform the installation or advise you on self-installation.
