2. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   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).

3. Direct TPMS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_TPMS

   A typical direct TPMS (e.g. Ford, [4] BMW [5] or Toyota [6]) comprises the following components on a vehicle: A direct TPM sensor fitted to the back of the valve stem on each wheel; A TPM Warning Light; Unique identifier (IDs) for which tire is providing the data including speed and the direction of rotation; A tire pressure monitor electronic ...

4. Traction control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

   The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.

5. Traction (mechanics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(mechanics)

   The traction of trucks, agricultural tractors, wheeled military vehicles, etc. when driving on soft and/or slippery ground has been found to improve significantly by use of Tire Pressure Control Systems (TPCS). A TPCS makes it possible to reduce and later restore the tire pressure during continuous vehicle operation.

6. Central tire inflation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Tire_Inflation_System

   It also does less damage to the tire surface. This is important on work sites and in agricultural fields; by giving the driver direct control over the air pressure in each tire, maneuverability is greatly improved. Softer tires also cushion against rough terrain and road damage, such as washboarding, more effectively. Reducing tire pressure ...

7. Advanced driver-assistance system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_driver-assistance...

   Traction control system (TCS) helps prevent traction loss in vehicles and prevent vehicle turnover on sharp curves and turns. [47] By limiting tire slip, or when the force on a tire exceeds the tire's traction, this limits power delivery and helps the driver accelerate the car without losing control. [47]
