System to monitor tire pressure in real-time
The Bluetooth-enabled tire gauge system will keep a constant eye on tire pressure and send and alert if the pressure becomes too low.
Tire sensors will be installed in place of the tires' usual air valve caps, where each one will receive a separate identifier that will provide an accurate pressure reading for its tire. An alert will be sent to the user's smartphone or the in-car system if pressure levels fall too low, and the system can be set up to monitor up to 20 cars from one app (for corporate users, for example). Each sensor will be keyed to the user's account - so stealing one will render it useless. They will also withstand water, dirt and extreme temperatures.
