Continental presents two new tire technology concepts for greater safety and comfort

ContiAdapt_adaptive_tire_footprint

Hanover,  September  2017.  Continental  is  introducing  two  new  tire  technology  concepts  that  will make  for  even  greater  road  safety  and  comfort  in  the  future.  The  two  systems  enable  continuous monitoring  of  the  tire’s  condition,  as  well  as  situation-matched  adaptation  of  tire  performance characteristics  to  prevailing  road  conditions.  The  technologies,  called  ContiSense  and  ContiAdapt, make  their  public  debut  at  the  recent 2017  Frankfurt  Motor  Show  (IAA)  accompanied  by  a  tire  study.

ContiSense  is  based  on  the  development  of  electrically  conductive  rubber  compounds  that  enable electric  signals  to  be  sent  from  a  sensor  in  the  tire  to  a  receiver  in  the  car.  Rubber-based  sensors  continuously  monitor  both  tread  depth  and  temperature.  If  the  measured  values  are  above  or  below  predefined  limits,  the  system  at  once  alerts  the  driver.  If  anything  penetrates  the  tread,  a  circuit  in  the  tire  is  closed, also  triggering  an  immediate  warning  for  the  driver  –  faster  than  the  systems  used  to  date,  which  only  warn  the  driver  when  the  tire  pressure  has  already  begun  to  fall.

In  the  future,  the ContiSense  system  will  feature  additional  sensors  that  can  also  be  utilized  individually.  Thus  information  about  the  road  surface,  such  as  its  temperature  or  the  presence  of  snow,  can  be  “felt”  by  the  tire  and  passed  on  to  the  driver.  The  data  can  be  transmitted  to  the  vehicle  electronics  or  via  bluetooth  to  a  smartphone.

ContiAdapt  combines  micro-compressors  integrated  into  the  wheel  to  adjust  the  tire  pressure  with  a  variable-width  rim.  The  system  can  thus  modify  the  size  of  the  contact  patch,  which  under  different  road  conditions  is  a  decisive  factor  for  both  safety  and  comfort.  Four  different combinations  allow  perfect  adaptation  to  wet,  uneven,  slippery  and  normal  conditions.  For  example,  a  smaller  contact  patch  combined  with  high  tire  pressure  make  for  low  rolling  resistance  and  energy-efficient  driving  on  smooth,  dry  roads.  By  contrast,  the  combination  of  a  larger  contact  patch  with  lower  tire  pressure  delivers  ideal  grip  on  slippery  roads.  The  system  also  permits  very  low  tire  pressures  of  below  1  bar  to  be  set,  to  help  ease  the  vehicle  out  of  a  parking  space  in  deep  snow,  for  example,  or  traverse  a  dangerous  stretch  of  black  ice.

ContiSense  and  ContiAdapt  are  joined  by  a  concept  tire  that  enables  the  benefits  of  both  systems to  be  fully  leveraged.  The  tire  design  features  three  different  tread  zones  for  driving  on  wet, slippery  or  dry  surfaces.  Depending  on  the  tire  pressure  and  rim  width,  different  tread  zones  are activated  and  the  concept  tire  adopts  the  required  “footprint”  in  each  case.  In  this  way,  the  tire characteristics  adapt  to  the  prevailing  road  conditions  or  driver  preferences.

Continental  considers  both  these  tire  technology  concepts  promising  solutions  for  the  mobility  of the  future  as  tires  are  adapted  to  meet  the  needs  of  automated  driving  and  electrification.  Low rolling  resistance,  for  example,  makes  it  possible  for  electric  cars  to  cover  greater  distances  on  a single  charge.  At  the  same  time,  the  tires  can  be  adapted  to  suit  the  driver’s  personal  preferences or  in  response  to  sudden  changes  in  the  weather.  These  concepts  are  the  logical  next  step  in  the future-oriented  development  of  the  REDI  sensor,  brought  to  market  by  Continental  in  2014,  which was  instrumental  in  establishing  smart  communication  between  vehicle  and  tire.  The  new  tire technology  concepts  follow  on  from  the  two  established  mobility  technologies  ContiSeal,  for  the automatic  sealing  of  punctures,  and  ContiSilent,  for  a  tangible  reduction  in  tire/road  noise.  Able  to draw  on  more  than  a  century  of  experience  in  tire  technology  and  with  in-house  expertise  in  the fields  of  vehicle  electronics  and  automotive  IT,  Continental  is  systematically  aligning  its  products with  the  future  requirements  of  autonomous  driving  and  electric  mobility.
