Abstract

The problems about road accidents mostly happen because of careless driver, weather condition, vehicle failure and vehicle safety condition. One of the main reasons that can be focus to solve the problem is by maintaining the safety of a vehicle. This project mainly focuses on the safety condition of motorcycles tire. The Tire Pressure Alarm System is a smart way and a smart system to help alert the rider of motorcycle regarding the tire pressure of their motorcycles. The main problem of this issues is the safety of motorcycle tire, tire that under inflated can cause overheat. It can lead to poor vehicle handling. The next one is the economy, the tire that does not have the optimum pressure will cause more problem in term of repairing the tire. The objectives of this project are to detect tire pressure by using pressure switch. Next is to transmit signal that will alert the rider of motorcycle about the low pressure of the tire and to maintain motorcycle tire at optimum pressure. This report gives an insight about Final Year Project involving developing a Tire Pressure Alarm System using pressure switch for its wireless communication protocol. Also, the report gives a brief overview of the actual prototype, its features, its mechanism and what can be done in future to enhance it. Furthermore, the report gives detailed information about the actual design, implementation of component and testing of a pressure switch in lab used to calibrate it at 160kPa (marked as low pressure). It then goes further to examine the actual result and analysis of the Tire Pressure Alarm System. Also highlighted in the report are additional features that can be implemented in the system. This report also draws a conclusion as to the suitability of using the Tire Pressure Alarm System to be installed at the motorcycle tires.
