Abstract
The goal of this research is to create a solar-powered automatic tire inflation system for automobiles, addressing the significant issue of underinflated tires, which can result in safety issues, tire wear, and poor fuel efficiency. The suggested system uses solar energy as a renewable energy source to power a tire inflation mechanism that automatically maintains the correct tire pressure. The fabrication procedure includes mounting a photovoltaic panel on the car's roof, which transforms solar radiation into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in a battery for continuous use. Each tire has a pressure sensor attached to continuously monitor the tire pressure. Additionally, it lengthens tire life and lowers the possibility of accidents brought on by tire blowouts or loss of control from underinflated tires. Extensive testing and assessment are carried out under numerous circumstances, including varied driving scenarios and weather conditions, to certify the system's effectiveness. The system's effectiveness is compared to more established manual tire inflation techniques, and the results show that the solar-powered automatic tire inflation system is superior in terms of sustainability, effectiveness, and practicality. Overall, the creation of an autonomous tire inflation system for cars that use solar energy is a big step towards improving vehicle safety, lessening the industry's impact on the environment, and encouraging energy sustainability. Future developments in green technology are made possible by the incorporation of renewable energy sources into vehicle systems.
