This document describes an innovative RFID tire management system called e-tyre manager. Some key points:
1. E-tyre manager uses RFID tags on each tire to automatically track tire pressure, tread depth, and other metrics over the life of the tire. This data is stored and accessible via software.
2. The system aims to improve tire maintenance and management and reduce human error. Proper tire maintenance can increase fuel efficiency, extend tire life, and improve safety by ensuring optimal tire condition.
3. Implementing e-tyre manager provides benefits like increased driver safety, improved operational efficiency through reduced tire inspection time, and more economical fuel consumption through properly inflated tires.
