The article “Information Inflation” in Fleet Maintenance Magazine explores how data analytics transform tire management for fleets. By leveraging Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and auto-inflation technologies, fleets can proactively monitor tire pressure, temperature, and wear trends. These insights help reduce costly breakdowns, improve fuel efficiency, and extend tire life, ensuring optimal fleet performance.
Cliff Creech, SVP of Engineering and Operations at Phillips Connect, highlights the importance of advanced tire data solutions:
“Fleets using a comprehensive tire health monitoring solution will see under-inflated tires that should have been inflated by a properly maintained automatic tire inflation system – This comprehensive approach allows fleets to dispatch technicians to address both the obvious tire issue and any underlying issues with the ATIS.”

Today, most passenger vehicles consist of numerous controllers that communicate with one another through something called Controller Area Network (CAN). In most modern vehicles, when you press on the brake pedal, the pedal position sensor data is transmitted through CAN to allow many controllers to make decisions at the same time.
