Tire Additive Replenishment Using Travel History Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tire management systems fail to accurately identify the appropriate restoration materials needed to restore tire performance degraded by various external factors, relying on the expertise of repair workers and lacking a systematic approach to determine the specific additives lost from the tire.
Innovation Solution
A tire management system that acquires cause history information and material information to decide on the appropriate restoration material, using a processing system that includes acquisition, decision, and output components to determine the necessary additives for replenishment, enabling accurate identification and application of restoration agents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additive replenishment is performed without identifying the specific additive lost, then restoration can be attempted, but the tire performance cannot be appropriately restored
Solution Approach 1:
The system analyzes the cause history information (usage conditions, environment, tire type) and provides feedback about which additive is likely lost, enabling targeted replenishment. The management server processes the cause history and returns specific restoration material recommendations to the tire management device.
Solution Approach 2:
The tire management device acts as an intermediary between the tire and the restoration materials. It acquires cause history information, determines the appropriate restoration material based on this information, and then applies the correct additive to the tire, rather than directly adding additives without analysis.
2Ease of operation
If repair solution is applied to restore tire performance, then restoration can be achieved, but the correct restoration material cannot be identified without expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service tire restoration by automatically analyzing cause history information and determining the appropriate restoration material without requiring expert knowledge. The tire management device autonomously processes the information and selects the correct additive type based on the analyzed causes of degradation.
3Measurement precision
If cause history information is acquired and analyzed, then accurate restoration material can be identified, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the restoration determination process into segments: the tire management device acquires cause history information and performs initial analysis, then communicates with a management server that performs further processing and returns restoration material recommendations. This segmentation distributes complexity across multiple components rather than concentrating it in one device.
Data Source
AI summary
A tire management system includes a management apparatus and a database portion. The tire management system acquires travel history data concerning a history of causes of degradation of tire performance of a tire mounted on a vehicle, and decides a replenishing agent for restoring the tire performance that has been degraded, based on the acquired travel history data.
