These smart tires will help monitor the condition of road infrastructure in Italy


The Cyber Tyre has integrated sensors and 5G connectivity. — Pirelli

The Apulia regional government and Pirelli are launching a unique pilot project for monitoring the condition of roads using smart tires. The aim is to create an accurate map of the region's road infrastructure using technology embedded in the Italian manufacturer's Cyber Tyres.

This system will combine sensors, initially integrated into Pirelli's Cyber Tyres, which measure road surface roughness and irregularities in real time, with cameras that film the road at the same time. The Cyber Tyre has 5G connectivity. Thanks to its integrated sensors, it can record the condition of the tire and the road in real time while transferring this data to the car's on-board computer so that it can instantly adjust the onboard systems (anti-lock brakes, electronic stability program, etc).
