Abstract
Over the past decade, energy harvesting from the surrounding resources has been a hot topic for numerous researches. The automotive industry is one field that pays attention to this clean energy which plays a primary role in the vehicle’s safety. Moreover, a cost-efficient monitoring structure to better track tires conditions is required to fill the tires safety requirements. The main objective of this paper is to present a state of the art about the techniques of vibrational energy harvesting from car’s tires for the embedded self-power sensors and tires condition monitoring systems (TCMS).
Highlights
The increasing costs of fuel and environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels require restricting the greenhouse effect and gasses emissions
Because the tires are the only interface between the vehicle and the road they play a central role in its safety
The automotive industry strives for a cost-efficient monitoring structure for autonomous vehicles to better track tires’ conditions and ensure more safety for the passengers [1]
Summary
The increasing costs of fuel and environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels require restricting the greenhouse effect and gasses emissions. Cars are recognized as one of the significant sources of greenhouse gasses emissions in the transportation sector For this reason, researchers in the automotive industry have drawn attention to use clean and sustainable energy resources for vehicles sensors and equipment. The TCMS offers online measurement of many parameters referring to tires state, including their pressure, temperature, and road friction These measurements increase automobile and passenger’s safety [3]. As the TCMS needs a power supply to function, the batteries constitute the main source of energy in the vehicle Due to their environmental harmful usage and their lifespan limitation, an autopower sensing system is needed. Pneumatic tires started as an upgrade from solid rubber tires in the United Kingdom in the late 1800s They had a small cross-section and high pressure and were mainly used in bicycle applications.
