- Michelin is taking a lead in the market with its universal Tire Digital Twin.
- A unique solution designed to boost overall vehicle performance and enhance the driving experience by connecting with in-vehicle software.
- Sensor-free software compatible with all tire brands and all types of vehicles.
Michelin’s new Tire Digital Twin software enables predictive maintenance and enhances vehicle performance by leveraging 130 years of expertise in tire physics combined with advanced mathematical modeling, AI and data science algorithms. This innovation can convert in-vehicle data into actionable insights in real time to make recommendations to drivers without requiring input from physical tire sensors.
“Thanks to its universal digital twin, Michelin has built a platform that optimizes the driving experience by connecting vehicle dynamics, driver preferences and tire performance in real time,” said Philippe Jacquin, Michelin Group executive vice president research & development and member of the Group Executive Committee. “Every tire, whatever the brand, has its very own embedded intelligence. Michelin is bringing a new dimension to the role of tire manufacturer, and is once again proving its commitment to enhancing reliability for all road users.”
Michelin’s Tire Digital Twin technology is a dynamic virtual replica of a tire. It continuously analyzes and predicts the state of tires at a given time factoring in tire pressure, wear, load, grip and driving conditions while comparing them with in-vehicle data.
Instead of simply supplying information to the vehicle and driver, it directly interacts with the embedded systems to optimize their performance. The vehicle can anticipate grip, improve its stability, optimize fuel consumption and adapt braking distances.
The system is fully integrated, and it brings tangible benefits on every drive, offering critical real-time information on tire conditions and performance. For the driver,…
