In 2021, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company began collaborating with Netherlands-based research organisation TNO into solutions that facilitate communication between a vehicle’s tyres and its anti-lock braking system (ABS). More than three years later, the partners are showcasing their work on integrating tyre intelligence technology into the ABS controller of a test vehicle.
Comline Auto Parts is offering a “simple but important solution to a fitment issue associated with brake discs with ABS rings and sensors fitted to certain Citroën and Peugeot applications”.
Tyres already play a key role in effective vehicle braking, but a marriage of tyres and technology can enhance this. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and Dutch research organisation TNO are working towards this end and are collaborating on a demonstration vehicle that will test the implications of connected tyres talking to the vehicle’s control system, specifically the anti-lock brake system (ABS).
As more and more vehicles are being fitted with technology to assist drivers, this is impacting the way technicians work. One of these components is the ABS sensor, which is often located next to the brake discs and now needs to be considered and checked when changing the discs. With this in mind, Borg & Beck have offered the following advice:
Continental has announced plans to start production of ABS and ESC units in India in 2016. A new assembly line for ABS and ESC for passenger cars and later ABS for two-wheelers will be located in the existing Continental Automotive Brake Systems plant in Gurgaon, Haryana. Local production of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is planned for 2018 in Bangalore.
Solid Auto UK has added several ABS sensors to its braking product range for Japanese and Korean vehicles. In total, seven ABS sensors have been added to cover 26 vehicle applications. These new additions are for Honda Civic (2006-12), Hyundai Santa Fe (2001-05) and Nissan Navara (2001>) vehicles.
Solid Auto UK has launched a new range of ABS sensors as part of its extended braking products range for Japanese and Korean vehicles.
The BMW S 1000 XR, launched at the 2014 EICMA show in Italy this month, is the first series model to receive Continental’s newly-enhanced Motorcycle Integral Brake (MIB) system. The latest version of MIB builds on the motorcycle anti-lock braking system Continental has manufactured for more than a decade by adding an optimised curve braking function that facilitates safer braking in curves.
