several volkswagen models polo golf jetta beetle scirocco passat tiguan touran and sharan ; several seat and skoda models ; as well as the chery arrizo 7 and the mg 3 . it is also fitted to many volvo fiat and renault vehicles . the system meets the american fmvss 138 and the european ece r 64 regulations on tire pressure monitoring systems . 4 tpi is a software component that uses both relative rolling radius information as well as wheel oscillation measurement . it estimates tire pressure mainly from the signals of the wheel speed sensors that are part of the anti lock braking system abs and electronic stability control system esc . it gets active shortly after a reset which triggers a self learning process . a reset needs to be initiated by the driver when the tires have been changed or the pressure adjusted . tpi does not require any in wheel pressure sensors and rf radio frequency components . the audi tt series was the first to be equipped with tpi in 2006 . the audi a4 and a5 models followed the next year . 5 tpi can be fit into different electronic stability control hardware hosts including those of continental ag robert bosch gmbh and trw automotive . nira dynamics is developing sensor fusion based systems for different vehicle applications . sensor fusion or sensor data fusion is the use of information from several different physical sensors to compute new virtual sensor signals . the virtual sensors can be of two different types improved versions of physical sensor signals or soft sensors that have no direct physical counterpart among the sensors used . tpi abs is a tpi version for vehicles with built in anti lock braking system which is standard in most cars but no electronic stability control system which is not standard particularly in emerging markets . loose wheel indicator lwi detects when the wheel bolts nuts have come loose on at least one wheel position and the wheel starts to separate from the hub . it warns the driver who then can bring the vehicle to a safe halt before the wheel falls off . as tpi and all other nira products this software based function does not require any additional sensors . tire grip indicator tgi constantly estimates the available friction between the road and the tires . unlike comparable functions it does not need any additional sensors like tire mounted sensors or cameras . this makes tgi very cost effective . road surface information rsi includes the friction estimation function of tgi but goes one step further by completing this with road roughness information and detecting irregular events like potholes speedbumps etc. this information can either be used directly in the car for example to adapt the chassis or be distributed via cloud services to other vehicles road authorities etc. in the winter 2015 2016 nira has started a field study in sweden where a fleet of taxi vehicles has been equipped with rsi delivering for example an online real time friction map of the roads of gothenburg sweden . map aided positioning map is a product which enables indoor navigation where gps signals are not available for example in multi storey garages or tunnel systems . as its product siblings it is purely software based but needs high precision maps of the respective building . see also edit blowout tire tire maintenance tire uniformity references edit nira dynamics ab volvo dynamic stability assistance nira receives frost & sullivan award for its indirect tpms nira dynamics tpi automotive design and production audi rolls with indirect tpms external links edit official website retrieved from https en.wikipedia.org w index.php title nira dynamics ab & oldid 710191190 categories automotive technologiesautomotive engineeringautomotive softwareautomotive safety technologiestechnology companies of swedenelectronics companies of sweden navigation menu personal tools not logged intalkcontributionscreate accountlog in namespaces article talk variants views read edit view history more search navigation main pagecontentsfeatured contentcurrent eventsrandom articledonate to wikipediawikipedia store interaction helpabout wikipediacommunity portalrecent changescontact page tools what links hererelated changesupload filespecial pagespermanent linkpage informationwikidata itemcite this page print export create a bookdownload as pdfprintable version languages fran ais edit links this page was last modified on 15 march 2016 at 14 14 . text is available under the creative commons attribution sharealike license ;
