Description
Summary:This review discusses vehicle tire technology advancements and their transformative effects on vehicle dynamics. Recent advances in material science, design, and manufacturing have transformed the tire industry. The introduction of “smart tires,” which have sensors for continuous monitoring, is a major development. These tires analyze pressure, temperature, and tread depth to improve safety and fuel efficiency. Nanogenerators in tires demonstrate the automotive industry's move toward independence. Decision trees and analytical tools have been used to refine the process using retreading techniques, which are environmentally friendly and economically beneficial. The industry is focusing more on integrating intelligent tires with autonomous vehicles. Tire data combined with autonomous driving algorithms could set new safety and efficiency standards. Despite these advances, there is still room for innovation, particularly in commercializing energy harvesters for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and developing tire wear monitoring methods. Intelligent tires are increasingly important for vehicle performance and safety as autonomous vehicles become more common. This review discusses tire technologies’ current state, future prospects, and future direction, positioning them as drivers of safer, more sustainable transportation.
