The integration of Goodyear SightLine and ZF cubiX allows for optimization of vehicle driving and maintenance never achieved before. Let’s see together what this new technology consists of!
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, leader globale nella connected mobilityand ZF, leader in systems and technologies for industrial vehicleshave successfully integrated the technology of smart tyres with motion control software. The result of this union materializes in the meeting of Goodyear SightLine (a very complete intelligent tire management suite), with the sistema ZF cubiXa sophisticated software that controls the dynamics of the vehicles and monitors their conditions.
This allows all vehicles equipped with the ZF cubiX hardware to have precise real-time monitoring the actual condition and performance of the tires, all of it to the advantage of comfort, safety and cost containment of exercise. Goodyear SightLine will take care of keeping the cars constantly connected to the road, implementing the already valuable functionality of cubiX.
Goodyear SightLine and ZF cubiX: personalized and safe driving
In the very near future every driver will therefore have the possibility to customize multiple parameters according to your specific needs, always keeping the condition of your vehicle and tires under control. Goodyear and ZF then created an efficient and complete ecosystemthrough a series of careful digital simulations and real road teststo the benefit of vehicle performance and safety.
One of the points on which the most attention was paid was the reduction of the risk of aquaplaning: Goodyear SightLine can anticipate partial aquaplaning by offering tips for optimal speed to maintain proper control of the car. However, when it detects a more dangerous aquaplaning situation, thanks to the help of intelligent tyresthe cubiX software intervenes for optimize the response of the chassis and therefore to stabilize the car.
Handling and braking like never before!
In addition to what has already been described, vehicles will be able to benefit from greater responsiveness to commands, with responses that are always coherent and appropriate to the road context in which you find yourself. Greater progressiveness and docility of the steeringtogether with a safer cornering behavior these are just some of the advantages that this collaboration between Good Year and ZF can bring to the world of automotive technology.
In fact, braking distances will also benefit: according to tests, the connection between smart tires and ABS It would further reduce braking distances 1.5 meters, a result that alone is enough to understand the validity of this technology. Everything is obviously designed to be later effectively interfaced with autonomous drivingas demonstrated by the severe refinement tests currently underway.
