Societal Problem
Defined
Tire blowouts cause 23,000 crashes per year,
including 535 fatal accidents, 66 percent of
which can be attributed to low tire pressure,
according to the National Highway
Transportation Safety Administration.
The NHTSA further states that the operators
of 1 out of 3 vehicles are driving with low tire
pressure and are unaware of the problem.

Government
Solution
• Transportation Recall
Enhancement Accountability and
Documentation Act (TREAD Act)
• Tire pressure monitoring –
Section 13
• Monitoring phased in
October 2004 to October 2007
May 5, 2004
Slide 6
Federal Mandates
Issues
• Provisions for direct and indirect
monitoring
– Direct Monitoring is through sensors mounted inside the
tire
– Indirect monitoring is calculated by wheel rotation rates
through the ABS system
• Mandate declared ineffective and
must be rewritten for only direct
monitoring

Solution
Description
The OmnAuto system provides the
capability to alert the driver of low
pressure relative to temperature
and maintains a history to spot
potential dangerous trends.
May 5, 2004
Slide 11
Product Goals
• Meet and exceed tire pressure
monitoring mandate
• Will be the first pressure and
temperature monitoring system
with built in historical data
• Proof of concept
• SBIR funding for phase II
• Start production March 2005
May 5, 2004
Slide 12
Product Objectives
• Integrate commercial temperature and
pressure sensors
• Monitor conditions real-time
• Real-time processing of data
• Generating alarms real-time
• Store data at pre-determined time
intervals
• Provide graphs of the data for further
analysis
May 5, 2004
Slide 13
Product Risks
• Loss of real time data capture Proprietary CAN protocols
• Dependant upon properly functioning
automobile
• RF interference
• Failure to meet the industrial standards
or obtain QA certification

Risks Mitigated
• Develop Protocols for one
manufacturer, focused marketing
• System check every time ignition is
turned on
• Unique sensor ID to only log data for
the four sensors
• A well-developed project plan - to meet
QS-9000 to ensure quality assurance.

Conclusion
• Tires are not properly inflated
• Federal Mandate is not strong enough
• If data is available, safety will improve,
both long and short term
• Correct Team, Correct Solution
• OmnAuto TMS will alert consumers
to potentially dangerous conditions
