A tire-pressure monitoring system ( TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [ 1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).
The AGT 30, can carry 30 passenger per coach and has two passenger sections with safety features. It also has a communication and automated fare collection system. The prototype has two coaches with full airconditioning and has a suspension system, solid tires for guide wheels and extra wide automatic sliding doors.
Wheel alignment, which is sometimes referred to as breaking or tracking, is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of wheels to the car manufacturer specifications. [ 1] The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without "pulling" to one ...
The University of the Philippines Diliman AGT[ 1] was an automated guideway transit (AGT) system constructed for technology demonstration within the campus of the University of the Philippines (UP) in Diliman, Quezon City in the Philippines. It served as a test track for the first mass transit system to be built and developed in the country by ...
Direct TPMS, or direct tire pressure monitoring systems (direct sensor TPMS) refers to the use of a pressure sensor directly mounted on the wheels or tires of a vehicle. The pressure inside the tire is measured using a pressure transducer with the pressure information being subsequently sent to the vehicle to warn the driver of under or over inflation of a tire.
Central tire inflation system. Tractor-drawn trailer with CTIS. The Tatra T813 prototype had CTIS as early as 1960; it later became standard for all Tatra military trucks. A central tire inflation system ( CTIS) is a system to provide control over the air pressure in each of a vehicle's tires as a way to improve performance on different surfaces.
In automotive engineering, toe, also known as tracking, [ 1] is the symmetric angle that each wheel makes with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as a function of static geometry, and kinematic and compliant effects. This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel ...
VAL-208 type train in the Lille Metro A Mark II train in Vancouver, Canada.The SkyTrain is the longest driverless transit system in the Americas.. An automated guideway transit (AGT) or automated fixed-guideway transit [1] or automatic guideway transit [2] system is a type of fixed guideway transit infrastructure with a riding or suspension track that supports and physically guides one or more ...
