At 17:30 on July 3, with the crisp sound of explosions, the city of Taizhou Geely car driving on the fast track to test silver diamond car front left tire burst moment, there are experienced people quickly realized that driving a car crash accident to happen. But the surprise is the speed the car was traveling in a straight line after 10 meters immediately slow down and stop smoothly in the street. This allows people to frayed nerves immediately relaxed, original here is a test of accidents that may occur for the car automatically reduce and resolve the situation in a burst tire puncture. Geely Holding Group Executive Vice President Yang Jian, vice president of Gu Weiming, Chen Yin, CHEN Wenming, president of Geely Automobile Research Institute Yu Wei and other leaders at the end of the trial and the driver handshakes and Geely announced that fill gaps in the world of tires pressure monitoring and brake system test successful.

 

 

 

According to Geely Automobile Research Institute, responsible person, the car tire is a major culprit accident, a car born 100 years the automotive industry has been plagued by technical problems. According to relevant statistics data indicate that the current 70 percent of highway accidents caused by tire problems, of which 46% is puncture accidents, a puncture caused major traffic accidents accounted for 35% of all traffic accidents. This led to the birth and applied to reduce and mitigate potential accidents puncture proof tire products.

 

Currently, explosion-proof products in the world there are tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and PAX run-flat tires. TPMS is the core technology of tire pressure and temperature monitoring instantly make warning to the driver, to remind its slow down in advance, reduce and mitigate the risk of a puncture may occur, but can not implement relief for disasters and other unexpected blowout. The risk of puncture after sharply increases with time. So, after a puncture in the 2-3 seconds as soon as the safety brake to slow down or stop, you can effectively prevent the generation of a puncture accidents. Unfortunately, ordinary people can not make the braking measures within such a short time. PAX core technology is to reduce the tire's section height, the rear tire deflated tire with support ring hoop, reduce the level of risk a puncture accident. But the limitations of PAX tires is very obvious, although greatly reduced damping performance tires, but the car's comfort performance decline, and a substantial increase in tire manufacturing costs, prospects are not optimistic.

 

Geely successfully developed independently of tire pressure monitoring and brake system (ie, a puncture warning and braking system, referred TPMBS) device, just up the TPMS, PAX shortcomings, this device is the world's first road active safety systems, it tire pressure monitoring during basic technical support, automatic service brake is functional characteristics, can not respond in the driver instead of the driver brake implemented as soon as possible, to reduce the speed, so as to reduce and eliminate the risk of puncture purposes.

 

The official also told reporters that the current TPMBS core technology patents of invention patent has been obtained, the application is expected in the near future on the auspicious series sedan, which will greatly improve the safety performance of vehicles.

 

It is reported that the world's big automakers have adopted legislation in the form of the current requirements of the automotive safety device configuration, China has also been drafted into the brewing stage relevant regulations, standards promulgated within reach. TPMBS and therefore have a more broad market prospects, while limiting foreign TPMS product will become the threshold for maintaining and supporting the national automotive industry has a positive effect.
